There he started to heavily rotate the squad, rest key players too much and the team lost intensity and momentum for the big games that actually mattered. His time at Bayern was IMO partly a failure as he took over the best team in the world and didn't manage to win the CL. He was brought in to do this precise thing. As for going out this season. They should have been 2 up at HT. That would have been another game. Fully understand why he was pissed with the ref's. But they lost the tie in the first game that they fluffed.

Liverpool were always going to score when city were so open at the back and City's intensity would have fallen off in the second half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zatman Posted April 14, 2018 Author Share Posted April 14, 2018 People can quote his stats all they like but everytime I watch Sterling he is absolute crap. Has scored tonight but he has been absolutely awful and all he has is pace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

penguin Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 Sterling’s movement is world class and the amount of times he gets in great positions is ridiculous but he’s finishing really is atrocious 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Czechlad Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 I honestly don't understand how he hasn't fixed his finishing by now. He's be scoring 30-40 goals a season if he could finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 I think he'll be absolutely shite again for England at an International tournament this summer. He's having a good season, but I really don't think he's that good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has scored tonight but he has been absolutely awful and all he has is pace I sort of know what you mean, but he's not crap, not anymore. He's technically still a shambles at moments during games. He'll let the ball roll under his foot, or miskick an open goal even when having a good game. But Pep has forced him to get into positions where he's going to score eventually. He's too quick, and city make too many chances for him not to. He's got a couple of key traits that mean for this City side he'll bag a hatful year after year. The player fits the team, rather than making the team like KDB/Silva do. He's also still very good at carrying the ball. Weird that he can't kick it half the time, but can dribble so well. I thought he was England's best player in those two average friendlies. He was dropping back from up front into space and playing with the ball much more than he does for City. I liked what I saw. He took on responsibility playing for a much worse side, I admire that even if he struggles doing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomaszk Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 We're about to enter an era of dominance I don't think England has seen for a while. All hinges how long Pep stays for. If he stays for the next five years, I think they'll win the next 5 league titles and similar to this year it won't be close. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting that this is getting brought up a lot. Can't see it being like United under Ferguson, personally. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 I really can Not just because of what city bring to the table but the failures of the other teams, chelsea and arsenal are about to be overhauled, spurs for me could lose kane and poch and utd arent a good enough team, leaves the flawed klopp and liverpool as the main challenge If pep is at city 5 years id expect him to win the league at least 3 time, and 5/6 cups Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xela Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 Toure going on like his spell at Citeh was comparable to Buffon's at Juve and Iniesta's at Barca! The fact Man City had 100 points is justification that Toure was not needed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HanoiVillan Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 Really stupid way to go out, right when City fans had spent a month going on about what a great player he'd been for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
