YankeeCanary 0 Posted November 1, 2016 I just finished watching Manchester City against Barcelona. Admittedly, during the first half Barcelona were dominating possession and leading 1-0. The commentators injected phrases such as the following:What a wonderful display by BarcelonaThis is the level that Manchester City aspire to but are nowhere near it currently...perhaps one dayCity does have a wonderful Academy but it has miles to goThe City players look bemused at what they are facingStones is young and inexperienced but will learn to improve in the futureObviously, as the second half began there was a complete turnaround which clearly had been provided from the input of Guardiola. The commentators "forgot" their first half rhetoric and waxed eloquent on the Manchester City 3-1 win.... City were pressing high with tremendous energyWonderful counter attacks from CityBarcelona looks nervous at the back Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Indy_Bones 444 Posted November 2, 2016 At least Man City have a manager than can make those sort of changes, rather than having one, that at 3-0 down, is happy to settle for accepting that as the final score... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And about 200 million pounds worth of players. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Indy_Bones 444 Posted November 2, 2016 [quote user="Herman"]I wish we had the best manager on the planet. And about 200 million pounds worth of players.[/quote]Don''t we all, but I''ll happily settle for a team that actually tries to get a result when losing, with a manager that isn''t just going to settle for a 3-0 loss instead of even attempting to get a goal (or three) back...It''s not about how much money Man City have, or even about Pep as manager, it''s about us having a manager that can''t influence a game to save his job, with players that now give up, instead of fighting tooth and nail like they did under someone like Lambert (not asking for his return either btw)...
