Stevo985 Posted January 16, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted January 16, 2023 (edited) Yeah I disagree with most of the last few posts on here. After 18 games last season Man City had scored 44 goals. This season after 18 games they've scored... 46 goals. Incidentally Arsenal would have been top of the league last season with the amount of points they have now, so it's not like Man City are doing way worse. Arsenal are just having an absolute stormer, their current ppg puts them on 100 points for the season. That's astonishing. The difference between City's points tally this season and last season (5 points) is down to them drawing one more and losing one more game than last season. If that Bruno goal on the weekend is rightly ruled out the only difference is one win. And considering this season they've conceded 18 goals, whereas last season they'd only conceded 9 goals at this stage, it's a fair assumption that the thing that needs improving in that team vs last season is the defence. That being said, I'm not ignoring that they've had a few games where they, and Haaland, haven't been very effective going forward. They went through a similar spell last season so it will be interesting to see if they come out of it or if teams really have found a way to neutralise Haaland. I'd put money on the former Edited January 16, 2023 by Stevo985 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder how much that break in etc., last year has messed up his life. Wow. Didn't expect that. Not sure there's anyone they can replace him with and maintain the style of play he affords them. Crazy to say but I reckon he is more key to them than Haaland, and on a par with De Bruyne Big boost for Arsenal that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Jareth Posted February 6, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted February 6, 2023 (edited) Titles should be stripped - otherwise what's the message? Cheat and win and then sacrifice just one future season when you're not gonna win the title anyway? So frustrating - all that money they pumped in allowed them to sell a few dregs and buy Jack for £100m - derailing us. Other clubs also been subject to this over a decade. Cheating plastic ****.

The_Steve Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 Ten years of corruption and cooking the books. Fake sponsors and hiding how much they paid off ex managers. This is why nation states shouldn’t be allowed to own clubs. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
