Some of the older players have checked out, Not just physically but mentally. I remember after the FA Cup final seeing KDB laughing and Joking as he got his runners up medal and thinking “you’re not that bothered anymore, are you?” I think that’s why we’re seeing what we’re seeing, a lot of these players have seen it all and won it all, and there’s no real incentive to go again. So now it’s a case of Pep needing new players to refresh the dressing room. Walker, KDB, Silva, Gundo and Grealish need to be seen the door at the end of the season.

Jurgen Klopp is by far a better manager. He won the CL, went to 3 CL finals. Turned it around when Liverpool were never expected to do it. Liverpool didn't have the money to compete with all these clubs before Jurgen Klopp came in. Today, Liverpool have more money than anyone else. Yet we don't spend it. Give us another few years and you shall see what it is like to be the biggest club in the world without Arab money.
9:05 it wasn't just Foden. Pep was shouting at Haaland to press Martinez but he didn't and it gave Lisandro all the time in the world to make the pass.
The problem with city is the poor transfer business and the back stops at Guardiola. They've invested a lot of money in lots of different players and most of them just aren't good enough to replace the ageing players they have in their squad.

No one on City is ever asked to run at a defender in the center of the field. Haaland did it with Dortmund. Pep ball is a system that has no place for dynamic play. He just squeezes the life out of the game with superior technical play. His technical players are all aging out at once. So City is falling off the cliff. Pep has no plan B.
sitting here and hearing rory say that when man city need a goal, the one most likely to score is Haaland when Rory himself said quite some time ago that he would struggle to score 15.......... what a downfall
Pep got lazy, his current style shows as similar to previous managers of Haaland. Get the ball to him, game over. Turns out having the best striker in the world isn't always enough.
It’s a multitude of things that has went wrong but Pep has conditioned these players to play possession football and not lose the ball and ultimately sacrificed flair. Despite the fact City have some world class players, none of them can take it upon themselves to do something different or something extra and win a game like Diallo done against them out of fear of losing the ball and it is absolutely shite to watch. Actually, thinking back, Savinho for once had a go at 3 Villa players and it lead to Foden’s goal last week. When do you ever see City doing that. You rarely see them taking on players and whipping a ball into the box or lofting a ball up the park for someone to run on to. They have to genuinely forget about what Pep is telling them and just play. They’re individually brilliant players, but this system rubbish is taking its toll. Pep has absolutely sucked the flair out of the team and you can tell the players are getting fed up. The sooner he goes the sooner we can get back to watching decent football in general. And this is coming from a neutral.
Pep letting perfection be the enemy of the good is killing him and is the reason for his terrible downfall in form with the team. He’s not setting up the team to succeed with the players he has available, he’s setting it up as though he has a full and ready squad and that is leading to failure after failure after failure. Only Pep can change it as it’s up to him…
Not a United fan but agree. Ferguson didn't burn out. He had to rebuild teams again and again. Very different to what happened to Jose and what's happening to City
City have completely cocked up in transfer market in the last couple of years. With both in comings and out going, succession planning has not happened. I find this very surprising for such a well run club.
these guys are just making sh#% up now. 15 mins of waffle around City's decline. I actually have less insight or perspective on why the City slump , then i did before watching this clip. Watching these guys made me dumber, actually. Quite an achievement
@ gifted every squad he’s ever had. As soon as there’s trouble he’s like a fish out of water. Barca.. best squad in the world. Bayern.. best squad in the world. Oops. Tell me I’m wrong sweetheart
@@SeanDarrall best squad in the world? They’ve only got 1 striker and 1 holding midfielder in the whole squad mate it’s not even close to being the best squad, even relegation teams have multiple strikers to choose from
Thing is, Jurgen Klopp was honest and left when he was sure it was best for the club and himself. Guy left us with Liverpool 2.0 and Slot takes it over. It's Liverpool 3.0 now
08:34 I turned it off when Rory said Van Ninelstroy picks the ball up at half way and takes a defence on..... Give me a break. He was exactly what Haaland is! A fox in the box. A tap in merchant. No disrespect to the guy because he was extremely good at what he did and he had a lot of success. But Rory. Pull your other one my boy. Ruud wasn't that player.
Selling Palmer was a BIG mistake. Selling Alvarez was a BIG mistake. Bringing back Gundo was a BIG mistake. Some of the newer signings are...wavey, at best. Pep and the team is resting very much on its laurels that other teams don't improve as quickly. Pep either needs to change something very quickly, otherwise they'll be just another team - not "the team".
Do you think that maybe Klopp leaving is another reason things are going wrong and that pep maybe dropped a level because he didn't think the challenge wouldn't be as intense. It's not one issue at city rodri was just the last brick to fall out of a wall that was ready to fall over
City fans should be asking if the rebuild shone be done by a new manager that will have time and longevity rather than pep that's probably gonna stay for 1 more season or 2 at the most.
City has been selling all their great talents and instead brought in 'here and now' players. Alot of those have completely failed to raise the level of the squad. In the last 4 summers i would say only Gvardiol and Haaland made the first 11 significant better. The core of the squad was and still is excellent. But the players who made the difference have dropped of and/or having way more injury problems. Feel that with some more trust in their young and talented players over the years City woudnt be in this situation right now. But the counter point probably is, would they have been as succesfull with given way more minutes to young players?
And this is why Fergie is leaps and bounds above pep. Won it all by beating big teams with what some people considered bench fodder squads. Pep loses one midfielder and his season falls apart
I agree he's clear of pep but let's not forget that utd were the richest club in the world for much of his reign and were regularly among the highest spenders and had the biggest wage bill...yes later in his spell abramovich and then city challenged them in a financial sense but whilst he certainly wasn't a chequebook manager like pep Fergie spent more money than 95% of all his peers
It amazes me how much people are overthinking this. City just need a refresh, in the same way Fergie used to. They’ve been winning at a canter for so long that some players have just become complacent and forgot what it is to fight for wins and success. They need a succession plan for some of their core (Ederson, Gundo, De Bruyne, Walker) and strong backups/successors for the rest of their core (Dias, Haaland, Rodri). After that, certain complacent/inconsistent first teamers need replacing in Stones, Bernardo, Grealish as well as squad players like Ake, Kovacic and Nunes who I think they’ve extracted as much as they can but probably aren’t a high enough level on their own. It feels weird to say, being a Man Utd fan, but I see a lot of similarities between this City team and the United team of 2006-09. You have a core group of 6/7 players who are real elite level, som exciting young talent of a good level and then a group of honest and hardworking squad players. Ultimately, if you’re core players are out or unable to play every game, those honest lads won’t always be good enough on their own or will be complacent because they don’t always have the same drive and hunger that elite world class players have.
@@theblues8840 I can’t tell if this is sarcasm but I hope not, I did mean it genuinely 😂 People are overthinking the city on field problems and blowing it out of proportion, it happens to most teams who have been dominant for extended periods of time. What worries me, as a football fan, is that I’ve heard absolutely none of the so called “experts” actually say this. But I feel like that only emphasis just why good players rarely make good managers 🤷♂️
@@LAndrewNext haha I’m assuming you’re referring to the charges 😂 As much as I do hope they get absolutely bummed for it, they likely still have the financial power for a rebuild. They haven’t spent big in a while and have spent significantly less and less often vs someone like United. Not to mention what they’ve made on the sale of academy talents.
@@SamRobertshaw1618 but they can't fund themselves like they used to. They are under the same restrictions that Newcastle are struggling under. They can't just throw 200m at rbs amd lbs like they did in the cheating days
This squad is made up of players who are either injured or exhausted from winning 4 titles in a row with a treble in there. You could see it last season and it’s just gotten worse here that they’re just tired. Sure there’s a couple mistakes with signings in there but the core of our team has always been strong but now their just out of gas
So the supposedly best manager ever can't manage a team? He can assemble a team, with enough money he can play ONE extremely good system, but if anything changes OR he tinkers even a little bit, it all falls apart. He has little to no in game management and uses very few subs, which is why Rodri plays 60 games a season. And then there's the supposedly best striker in the world who similarly can only play in ONE system. A system that sees him being fed passes from some of the best players in the world, given goals on a platter.no doubt he is an amazing finisher, BUT a striker is more than that. If you want to call him the best goalscorer in the world, fair enough. But the best striker in the world? he is not close. Pep has been found out. He let his 2 billion pound team get too old and to reliant on a single system because he has no other system. He let players like Palmer and Rodgers go because he didn't know what to do with them they didn't fit his ONE system, and he ruined a player like Grealish because he tried to force him to play in his ONE system, Grealish was never that player. When Rodgers scored the second goal, the camera was pointed at Pep, and all you could see on his face was PANIC, he doesn't know what to do.
One area i do put blame on Pep, surrounds Gundogan, and its not that hes too old, or not good enough. It felt like a, get me over the line one more time, signing. So short term, makes you question, if the season had progressed, like the start. Does Pep resign. I feel like hes almost signed, against his overall preference, because he cant leave on this. In which case, maybe it is time to shake his hand, name a stand after him, build a statue and look to the future
@@adam-z9e2j He has said himself the wingers are not playing the right balls to Haaland. He is not the problem it's the midfield and wingers struggling to create
Normally in this scenario u would just say get a new manager cus the players are big name players who have won it all, surely it can’t be them? however i think it is just the players ageing or suffering from fatigue cus the players aren’t pressing like they used to. On the ball playing out from the back they’re good still but they’re not creating chances like they used to cus players aren’t making runs then they’re not pressing like they used to. One leggy midfielder and a direct winger in january and i think they’ll get 3/4th for sure and push for a title again next seasin
no Buvey, we definitely never seen same with Mourinho, Wenger or Sir Alex.. not even cloooooose 😅 Guardiola is a paycheck managet and without his best players they are just bad 🤷🏻♂️
Obviously Haaland isn’t playing well but the team is so designed to feed him that taking him out wouldn’t work in my opinion like that’s not the answer. If u look at their options when it comes to wingers none of them other than maybe foden who’s not naturally a winger can score 10-15+ prem goals, if they still had players like mahrez, sterling, sane etc. i think playing a false 9 would help but if ur playing a false 9 i think u need wingers who can score and with Grealish, doku and savio being their main 3 wingers i dont see it working, but maybe it could work im not a genius lol
A false 9 allows the wide players to score goals. They can be “goal scoring wingers” because they had a false 9. Grealish, Doku and Savio would score 15+ goals each if they had a false 9 to play with.
@ i completely disagree, ur right that they’d score more but not 15+ no way, savio and doku’s shooting is very average it’s just they’re elite at dribbling and can pick a half decent pass once they’ve beaten their man, they’d get more shooting opportunities with a false 9 but their shooting not being amazing wouldn’t be enough for the team to end up scoring more than if haaland was in it. As for grealish he has the potential but since he’s gone to city he’s not shown any sign of good shooting. If they get a direct winger in and put foden on the other wing maybe they could score more as a team.
@@timmy5876 The 17-20 ManCity could create so many high quality chances, so high that anyone can finish, so high that they are almost impossible to miss. It has nothing to do with shooting. Just walk the ball in.
@ i agree to an extent but still the older more direct wingers i mentioned scored a decent amount of goals from making it themselves or having good finishing, like i said their numbers would go up with a false 9 but not enough to be worth dropping haaland. The real answer is to sign direct wingers who can score more or figure out how to feed haaland better cus he only get a couple half chances a game now thats why he’s not scoring, they used to give him 3/4 good chances a game and he’d score one of two of them
@@timmy5876 The season before Haaland joined Man City, they created 88.7 xG, scored 99 goals (scored 11 more goals than their xG). KDB was their top scorer, he scored 15 goals. The season Haaland joined Man City, they created 78.6 xG, scored 94 goals (scored 16 more goals than their xG). Haaland was their top scorer, he scored 36 goals. Haaland’s stats seem to look good, but he massively reduces his team’s xG. And he tries to use his great finishing to make up for it. Man City become more clinical, outperforming their xG by a larger amount, but they actually scored less in total with Haaland. It’s like when you think there is a big discount in the supermarket, but in reality, the price is marked up by a lot before the discount is made, so you are actually paying more. You think a 90% off discount is good, but it’s really not. Before he joins, if you look at their top scorer (15 goals), you might think that they are not clinical. If they had a clinical striker (over 30 goals), they will score a lot more. After he joins, they did become more clinical, but they score less in total.
It looks obvious. Pep knows City are going to be found guilty and so do the players. Whatever the sentence they know they are just waiting to leave! How else do you explain the complete collapse of a great team in just a few weeks? if they had lost 4 or 5 fair enough but losing 9 in 13 can only be explained by them all giving up!!!
Because most of their squad are either old and washed up, injured or just not good enough. Pep always said it’s the players that win things and by that same logic it’s the players fault they’re losing
Can a squad full of world class players, worth over a billion pounds funded by one of the richest owners in football, managed by the best manager of a generation turn a corner of poor form? I'll let you decide. & this is coming from a United fan 😂
I think Pep & the players know something about the 115 charges that the general public isn't aware of. Theres no way a £2bn team will collapse in such a brutal way because one player is injured.
Rumors roaming around clubs say, the players already know they are going to lose points and possibly 1 trophy. They wont be relegated but still going to lose so many points they wont even qualify to euro league. Also Rodri wants to go Madrid.
I'm calling it now. Man City will sign 2 or 3 players in the upcoming January transfer window which will somehow miraculously solve all of their problems. Liverpool, Chelsea and Arsenal will fail to capitalize on this opportunity and start slipping up and dropping points, and Man City will go on a 20 game winning steak and propel themselves back into the title race, and everyone will forget about this blip that City have had. Obviously, I don't want this to happen, I fucking hate Citeh......but it's probably what's going to end up happening.
@07ORO Tbh mate City tend to buy relatively unknown budding stars in Europe and turn them into worldbeaters. Just because you can't see who's out there doesn't mean Pep and his team don't.
@@adamyeejy-sk9fh True, and I wouldn't put it past them bringing some youth into the team, I think Pep has kinda _had to_ in recent weeks, but I still think they'll make a couple of signings just to freshen things up. No idea who though lol
@@07ORO I've no idea. It'll probably be something random, like an Arsenal or a Chelsea reject who just happens to shore up their midfield in a way no-one expected lol

@@adam-z9e2jAbsolute brain dead thinking that because someone is successful you can't think they're a weapon. It's a 25 man squad. They're not all going to like him as a person.

Actually, thinking back, Savinho for once had a go at 3 Villa players and it lead to Foden’s goal last week. When do you ever see City doing that.
You rarely see them taking on players and whipping a ball into the box or lofting a ball up the park for someone to run on to. They have to genuinely forget about what Pep is telling them and just play. They’re individually brilliant players, but this system rubbish is taking its toll. Pep has absolutely sucked the flair out of the team and you can tell the players are getting fed up.
The sooner he goes the sooner we can get back to watching decent football in general. And this is coming from a neutral.
Pep letting perfection be the enemy of the good is killing him and is the reason for his terrible downfall in form with the team. He’s not setting up the team to succeed with the players he has available, he’s setting it up as though he has a full and ready squad and that is leading to failure after failure after failure. Only Pep can change it as it’s up to him…
4:08 We saw what with Ferguson? Man had his core players for their whole careers
Not a United fan but agree. Ferguson didn't burn out. He had to rebuild teams again and again. Very different to what happened to Jose and what's happening to City
this is factually untrue. fergie was famous for refreshing the dressing room every few years
City have completely cocked up in transfer market in the last couple of years. With both in comings and out going, succession planning has not happened. I find this very surprising for such a well run club.
these guys are just making sh#% up now. 15 mins of waffle around City's decline. I actually have less insight or perspective on why the City slump , then i did before watching this clip. Watching these guys made me dumber, actually. Quite an achievement
Proving pep ain’t all that
Yeah 4 prems in a row but has a bad run of games but he’s “not all that” yeahhh mhm☺️☺️
@ gifted every squad he’s ever had. As soon as there’s trouble he’s like a fish out of water. Barca.. best squad in the world. Bayern.. best squad in the world. Oops. Tell me I’m wrong sweetheart
@@SeanDarrall best squad in the world? They’ve only got 1 striker and 1 holding midfielder in the whole squad mate it’s not even close to being the best squad, even relegation teams have multiple strikers to choose from
@ exactly my point. When pep doesn’t have the best squad he struggles
Thing is, Jurgen Klopp was honest and left when he was sure it was best for the club and himself. Guy left us with Liverpool 2.0 and Slot takes it over. It's Liverpool 3.0 now
08:34
I turned it off when Rory said Van Ninelstroy picks the ball up at half way and takes a defence on.....
Give me a break. He was exactly what Haaland is! A fox in the box. A tap in merchant.
No disrespect to the guy because he was extremely good at what he did and he had a lot of success. But Rory. Pull your other one my boy. Ruud wasn't that player.
Selling Palmer was a BIG mistake. Selling Alvarez was a BIG mistake. Bringing back Gundo was a BIG mistake. Some of the newer signings are...wavey, at best. Pep and the team is resting very much on its laurels that other teams don't improve as quickly. Pep either needs to change something very quickly, otherwise they'll be just another team - not "the team".
Nothing brings me joy seeing Buvey smugness being non existent.
Course it can. A good couple of transfer windows and itll be fine. Just needs a refresh.
Its the only way Liverpool can win with city having a dip
Do you think that maybe Klopp leaving is another reason things are going wrong and that pep maybe dropped a level because he didn't think the challenge wouldn't be as intense. It's not one issue at city rodri was just the last brick to fall out of a wall that was ready to fall over
Have they done this first thing in the morning? They look shattered
Aren't City going to have a transfer ban soon.
City fans should be asking if the rebuild shone be done by a new manager that will have time and longevity rather than pep that's probably gonna stay for 1 more season or 2 at the most.
This "crisis" is 10 years in the making. Hopefully it takes more than 10 years for them to recover.
Bluey or Bingo has been humble and is Staying Humble eee 😂😂😂. And where is the brother that dude who looks like a thumb?😂😂😂😂😂
What was Adam painting?
City has been selling all their great talents and instead brought in 'here and now' players. Alot of those have completely failed to raise the level of the squad. In the last 4 summers i would say only Gvardiol and Haaland made the first 11 significant better. The core of the squad was and still is excellent. But the players who made the difference have dropped of and/or having way more injury problems. Feel that with some more trust in their young and talented players over the years City woudnt be in this situation right now. But the counter point probably is, would they have been as succesfull with given way more minutes to young players?
When fergie lost 16 it wasn't the prem Buvey
This must be a circus? It's full of clowns
And this is why Fergie is leaps and bounds above pep. Won it all by beating big teams with what some people considered bench fodder squads. Pep loses one midfielder and his season falls apart
City has a severe injury crisis with Dias,stones,Ake also out .that's the whole defence.its not just rodri
@ boo hoo
I agree he's clear of pep but let's not forget that utd were the richest club in the world for much of his reign and were regularly among the highest spenders and had the biggest wage bill...yes later in his spell abramovich and then city challenged them in a financial sense but whilst he certainly wasn't a chequebook manager like pep Fergie spent more money than 95% of all his peers
@@tomwilko7841 cmon now, literally everyone of Citys current starting 11 (or probably entire squad bar Foden) was purchased for over 30m
It amazes me how much people are overthinking this. City just need a refresh, in the same way Fergie used to. They’ve been winning at a canter for so long that some players have just become complacent and forgot what it is to fight for wins and success. They need a succession plan for some of their core (Ederson, Gundo, De Bruyne, Walker) and strong backups/successors for the rest of their core (Dias, Haaland, Rodri). After that, certain complacent/inconsistent first teamers need replacing in Stones, Bernardo, Grealish as well as squad players like Ake, Kovacic and Nunes who I think they’ve extracted as much as they can but probably aren’t a high enough level on their own.
It feels weird to say, being a Man Utd fan, but I see a lot of similarities between this City team and the United team of 2006-09. You have a core group of 6/7 players who are real elite level, som exciting young talent of a good level and then a group of honest and hardworking squad players. Ultimately, if you’re core players are out or unable to play every game, those honest lads won’t always be good enough on their own or will be complacent because they don’t always have the same drive and hunger that elite world class players have.
Wow a United fan who has eyes, bravo sir well said😂
But city CANT refresh, their hands are tied and their neck is under the gulliotine
@@theblues8840 I can’t tell if this is sarcasm but I hope not, I did mean it genuinely 😂 People are overthinking the city on field problems and blowing it out of proportion, it happens to most teams who have been dominant for extended periods of time. What worries me, as a football fan, is that I’ve heard absolutely none of the so called “experts” actually say this. But I feel like that only emphasis just why good players rarely make good managers 🤷♂️
@@LAndrewNext haha I’m assuming you’re referring to the charges 😂 As much as I do hope they get absolutely bummed for it, they likely still have the financial power for a rebuild. They haven’t spent big in a while and have spent significantly less and less often vs someone like United. Not to mention what they’ve made on the sale of academy talents.
@@SamRobertshaw1618 but they can't fund themselves like they used to. They are under the same restrictions that Newcastle are struggling under. They can't just throw 200m at rbs amd lbs like they did in the cheating days
Even before this poor run of form you shouldn't have that thought that guardiola is greater than Alex ferguson
Rory, where'd you get that jumper? It's lovely!
This squad is made up of players who are either injured or exhausted from winning 4 titles in a row with a treble in there. You could see it last season and it’s just gotten worse here that they’re just tired.
Sure there’s a couple mistakes with signings in there but the core of our team has always been strong but now their just out of gas
Everton has a backbone (defence) which city don't have. Oh we are missing Rodri is just an excuse.
I’m so sick of the Rodri excuse
There transfer business needs to be looked at, they keep getting rid of talented players and signing idiots like Nunes and Phillips
An organization that cant win while spending 2bn AND cheating is kinda pathetic.🤣
Just give him another billion
So the supposedly best manager ever can't manage a team? He can assemble a team, with enough money he can play ONE extremely good system, but if anything changes OR he tinkers even a little bit, it all falls apart. He has little to no in game management and uses very few subs, which is why Rodri plays 60 games a season.
And then there's the supposedly best striker in the world who similarly can only play in ONE system. A system that sees him being fed passes from some of the best players in the world, given goals on a platter.no doubt he is an amazing finisher, BUT a striker is more than that. If you want to call him the best goalscorer in the world, fair enough. But the best striker in the world? he is not close.
Pep has been found out. He let his 2 billion pound team get too old and to reliant on a single system because he has no other system. He let players like Palmer and Rodgers go because he didn't know what to do with them they didn't fit his ONE system, and he ruined a player like Grealish because he tried to force him to play in his ONE system, Grealish was never that player.
When Rodgers scored the second goal, the camera was pointed at Pep, and all you could see on his face was PANIC, he doesn't know what to do.
115FC got upgraded to 130FC that's the problem. Nobody believes in the owners anymore
One area i do put blame on Pep, surrounds Gundogan, and its not that hes too old, or not good enough. It felt like a, get me over the line one more time, signing. So short term, makes you question, if the season had progressed, like the start. Does Pep resign. I feel like hes almost signed, against his overall preference, because he cant leave on this. In which case, maybe it is time to shake his hand, name a stand after him, build a statue and look to the future
Easy. Just drop Haaland.
yep he needs to try it
@@adam-z9e2j He has said himself the wingers are not playing the right balls to Haaland. He is not the problem it's the midfield and wingers struggling to create
Short answer.. no
Normally in this scenario u would just say get a new manager cus the players are big name players who have won it all, surely it can’t be them? however i think it is just the players ageing or suffering from fatigue cus the players aren’t pressing like they used to. On the ball playing out from the back they’re good still but they’re not creating chances like they used to cus players aren’t making runs then they’re not pressing like they used to. One leggy midfielder and a direct winger in january and i think they’ll get 3/4th for sure and push for a title again next seasin
Imagine watching those players play and thinking Pep is the problem 😂😂
no Buvey, we definitely never seen same with Mourinho, Wenger or Sir Alex.. not even cloooooose 😅 Guardiola is a paycheck managet and without his best players they are just bad 🤷🏻♂️
Maybe as embarrassing as Rorys jumper.
SkyBet, lads? Really?
Cheque book manager, cant develop young players, buts his way out of trouble.
Obviously Haaland isn’t playing well but the team is so designed to feed him that taking him out wouldn’t work in my opinion like that’s not the answer. If u look at their options when it comes to wingers none of them other than maybe foden who’s not naturally a winger can score 10-15+ prem goals, if they still had players like mahrez, sterling, sane etc. i think playing a false 9 would help but if ur playing a false 9 i think u need wingers who can score and with Grealish, doku and savio being their main 3 wingers i dont see it working, but maybe it could work im not a genius lol
A false 9 allows the wide players to score goals. They can be “goal scoring wingers” because they had a false 9.
Grealish, Doku and Savio would score 15+ goals each if they had a false 9 to play with.
@ i completely disagree, ur right that they’d score more but not 15+ no way, savio and doku’s shooting is very average it’s just they’re elite at dribbling and can pick a half decent pass once they’ve beaten their man, they’d get more shooting opportunities with a false 9 but their shooting not being amazing wouldn’t be enough for the team to end up scoring more than if haaland was in it. As for grealish he has the potential but since he’s gone to city he’s not shown any sign of good shooting. If they get a direct winger in and put foden on the other wing maybe they could score more as a team.
@@timmy5876
The 17-20 ManCity could create so many high quality chances, so high that anyone can finish, so high that they are almost impossible to miss.
It has nothing to do with shooting. Just walk the ball in.
@ i agree to an extent but still the older more direct wingers i mentioned scored a decent amount of goals from making it themselves or having good finishing, like i said their numbers would go up with a false 9 but not enough to be worth dropping haaland. The real answer is to sign direct wingers who can score more or figure out how to feed haaland better cus he only get a couple half chances a game now thats why he’s not scoring, they used to give him 3/4 good chances a game and he’d score one of two of them
@@timmy5876
The season before Haaland joined Man City, they created 88.7 xG, scored 99 goals (scored 11 more goals than their xG). KDB was their top scorer, he scored 15 goals.
The season Haaland joined Man City, they created 78.6 xG, scored 94 goals (scored 16 more goals than their xG). Haaland was their top scorer, he scored 36 goals.
Haaland’s stats seem to look good, but he massively reduces his team’s xG. And he tries to use his great finishing to make up for it. Man City become more clinical, outperforming their xG by a larger amount, but they actually scored less in total with Haaland.
It’s like when you think there is a big discount in the supermarket, but in reality, the price is marked up by a lot before the discount is made, so you are actually paying more. You think a 90% off discount is good, but it’s really not.
Before he joins, if you look at their top scorer (15 goals), you might think that they are not clinical. If they had a clinical striker (over 30 goals), they will score a lot more. After he joins, they did become more clinical, but they score less in total.
WHAT IF HE WINS THE CHAMP LEAGUE 😂😂😂😂😂 DELUDED
Say what you want about buvey he's the most lesst delusional in that group
It looks obvious. Pep knows City are going to be found guilty and so do the players. Whatever the sentence they know they are just waiting to leave! How else do you explain the complete collapse of a great team in just a few weeks? if they had lost 4 or 5 fair enough but losing 9 in 13 can only be explained by them all giving up!!!
Because most of their squad are either old and washed up, injured or just not good enough.
Pep always said it’s the players that win things and by that same logic it’s the players fault they’re losing
City are shite. Stones, kdb, foden, akanji all played with aki on the bench. No excuses
They've won 4 in a row, superhuman stuff.
There tired
Can a squad full of world class players, worth over a billion pounds funded by one of the richest owners in football, managed by the best manager of a generation turn a corner of poor form?
I'll let you decide. & this is coming from a United fan 😂
I think Pep & the players know something about the 115 charges that the general public isn't aware of. Theres no way a £2bn team will collapse in such a brutal way because one player is injured.
Because that’s just not true, it’s not a 2 billion pound team and it’s much more than one player being injured
👀@@theblues8840
GGMU❤
Yo guys drop that Chelsea man, his on purpose bullshit holding this channel down. His lies are not convincing yet very annoying
Rumors roaming around clubs say, the players already know they are going to lose points and possibly 1 trophy. They wont be relegated but still going to lose so many points they wont even qualify to euro league. Also Rodri wants to go Madrid.
There will be mass protests if they aren't relegated
I'm calling it now. Man City will sign 2 or 3 players in the upcoming January transfer window which will somehow miraculously solve all of their problems. Liverpool, Chelsea and Arsenal will fail to capitalize on this opportunity and start slipping up and dropping points, and Man City will go on a 20 game winning steak and propel themselves back into the title race, and everyone will forget about this blip that City have had.
Obviously, I don't want this to happen, I fucking hate Citeh......but it's probably what's going to end up happening.
But who? Zubimendi has to be nailed on but can’t think of anyone else
@07ORO Tbh mate City tend to buy relatively unknown budding stars in Europe and turn them into worldbeaters. Just because you can't see who's out there doesn't mean Pep and his team don't.
@@adamyeejy-sk9fh True, and I wouldn't put it past them bringing some youth into the team, I think Pep has kinda _had to_ in recent weeks, but I still think they'll make a couple of signings just to freshen things up. No idea who though lol
@@07ORO I've no idea. It'll probably be something random, like an Arsenal or a Chelsea reject who just happens to shore up their midfield in a way no-one expected lol
took the words right out of my mouth with the jan signings. he just needs eager fresh faces to recoup the dressing room.
I think Pep had a meltdown in the locker room and showed the players a different side of himself. That plus the fact he had 1 foot out of the door, the players are done with him.
1 foot out of the door having recently signed a 2 year contract?
absolute brain dead opinion. thinking the players are done with a manager thats won 20 trophies in 8 years lmao
i am talking about before he did that. The bad form started before he signed that deal
@@martinwild1929 did it? Are you sure about that?
@@adam-z9e2jAbsolute brain dead thinking that because someone is successful you can't think they're a weapon. It's a 25 man squad. They're not all going to like him as a person.
if city don’t make top 4 they should sack him 😂😂😂
