City fans have, naturally, loved all the trophies they have won under Pep.

But if the trophies dry up they will very quickly become disillusioned with that boring type of possession football his team are currently serving up.

It is like football by numbers.

It worked at one stage, because they had Ageuro, David Silva, Sane and KDB in his prime to change games. While of course it would be idiotic to attribute Guardiolas success to luck, he inherited a lot of City's great players. His tactics are completely reliant on having a world class defensive midfielder to stop attacks, a world class centre back and 2 quality wing backs. The problem with City nowadays is they have lost those things, which is why City are so boring to watch. When they had Kyle Walker, Kompany, David Silva and Ageuro it worked. Now without those players teams just sit back and then catch City on break. They're so slow nowadays and have been since 2021. I remember watching Jon Joe Kenny playing great at left back against them and I was surprised how poor they were. If it wasn't for a fluke goal with Keane slipping, we would of kept and clean sheet. Like RS, City will always give you chances, it's just about taking them like we did when Gray scored.

Europe will ruin Palace next season as it always does to our midtable teams who sneak in and Glasner will probably get sacked even though it won't be his fault the team isn't big enough to compete in the league and europe at the same time

I agree I think in 09/10 season we had like 11 players injured and 3 players got injured in 1 match in Athens.
 


Made up for palace but that decision for the handball is shocking, was v.a.r not in use?

It's either unreal incompetence or outright bias/cheating from the ref team
