Guardiola to be found out in the premier league

This Gif has gone Viral.

Watching that he looks like he's due one of those sabbaticals, the pressure on him there must be immense with those faltering CL exploits, reports a couple of weeks ago quoting close friends that he might leave in the summer one year before his contract runs and take a sabbatical, also he wants his next project to be in Italy and they are already planning ahead at City with Giovanni Van Bronkhorst taking the reins who's actually already at the club behind the scenes at the Etihad Campus.

Almost all of their squad being assembled before the Neymar / PSG summer gives an artificial and outdated view into how much City have really spent. They've been extremely lucky investing when they did and benefiting from when the television money also shot up. I wonder when they'll start smashing transfer records again. I feel sorry for Utd getting all the flack for splurging hundreds of millions to catch up and make up the ground after the inflation happened. Sterling being half the price of a Pogba or Lukaku and the same fee as Fred doesn't tell the full story.

Pep should reinforce his striker options...a big move for Eton Dom in January??

Easy does it. Feeling sorry for United spending loads isn't the most needy cause I have ever heard about.

However, I agree that the Neymar summer did change the game and what 'value' actually looks like. I'm of the opinion that 'value for money' is becoming a false metric given the absurd nature of fees. Maguire is obviously not as good as his valuation makes out but he's also not a total loss at that price either. Fans generally get too worked up about transfer fees without considering the reality of the bat-crazy market.

I don't think so. He beat them last year. Would've done the double over them were it not for a missed pen.

Klopp as beaten City 5 times under Pep. Pep has only done them 3 times in the prem

I heard a stat that City can only afford to lose one fixture and they have to win all their remaining games to achieve 100 points again. Also Liverpool's last 38 games has produced 101 points.

They have crazy depth, but also just look out of gas. Winning the prem in the way they did last year took its toll. They'll need favorable draws to get out of the QF of the c-league too.

Bald fraud

No excuses for him not to be able to motivate his top two players to play at Anfield - Aguero and Sterling. Take those two out and your team is going to struggle to score. That's every Anfield game they've failed to perform in. The money he's spent and the fact they're 9 points off top now, even with the FA Cups and Premier League wins, he's not done good enough. Hasn't even reached a Champions League final!

Hes gone out out the champions league 2 years running on wrong ref decisions, hes way behind in the league because they keep changing the rules every week, the rotation of the hand ball rule has cost him.

I'd love to know who you think is a good manager.

Sir Alex Ferguson. Howard Kendall MK 1. Arsene Wenger. Only one of them is available.

What transfer records have we smashed? Most expensive keeper? Chelsea and then Livepool. Most expensive defender? Liverpool again. Midfielder? United. Striker? United again. In fact our record signing is Rodri at £63M. Which is still a long way short of the British transfer record.
