We all have different opinions mate, I find the ‘tiki taka’ boring, sideways, backwards, keep possession. i Thought the same of Spain when they played it. Give me the Arsenal side of the invincibles & any of Fergies teams any day. Shoot me.

Hate to say it, but I agree, there doesn't seem to be as much personality to City as other champion teams of the past. They're very good at what they do, but there's no love there as an outsider. You couldn't help but enjoy the likes of Cantona, Beckham, Viera, Henry etc.

The lack of personality is a modern football thing not just city . The game is full of robotic clones .

They could fix the onside problem by drawing the line from the feet. We’ve got an absurd situation where if strikers are pointing where they want the ball they’re more likely to be offside.

There’s actually air between Matip’s feet and Lukaku’s in that shot, that’s how onside he is, but because he pointed for where he wanted the ball and they drew the line from an arbitrary position on his arm it’s deemed as offside.

Exactly, I said that today.The only definitive area they can draw a line. They make it up as they go along.

United were swashbuckling, i hate United but they were fun exciting team at times, always rooted against them but you just had to admire their will to win until the final whistle, they could also have a nasty side to them as well and mix it physically when they had to as well.

I find Man City sterile, yeah they play at a high technical level, but all their goals all seem the same with cutbacks from the by line and it's controlled possession that games are a just a procession for them, they don't have any personality to them or characters, they are very efficient and get the job done with no fuss.

They are a fantastic side but far from exciting, the Fergie teams 94 to 97 99-01 and 07-09 teams were classic swashbuckling wing play teams of his and Wenger's team from 97 to 06 were brilliant as well.
