There’s a limit to how many ugly cunts can be in the team at any one time at City.

Haaland, Bernardo, Ederson, surely you can carry a fourth mutant in the XI?

Overrated. He needs the entire team to play well in order to look good.

Teams aren’t knackered in the last third of the season yet.
So stat padding time isn’t here yet.
In saying that he’s the player i’dtake over all others at City if they do get the relegation they deserve

Wtf kind of news article is this?
City drop points after losing Rodri to injury…and this is what they’re fucking writing lol?
If Arsenal had dropped points after losing Ødegaard to injury (we haven’t in any game except for City away) then there would be questions and criticism all over the shop.
As per usual, City get an easy ride.

Hahahha.
Almost as bad as the countless crap we had to read about “SlotBall” in that excruciatingly long international break earlier in the month

Guardiola the innovator?
Or perhaps a very good manager that rotates world class players for every position so has never has the sort of injury problems every other club has to deal with.
When Man City have an injury, the media highlight it, but any other club and they just say it’s part of the game so get on with it.
Let’s see how many of these pundits are still all over them when they get done for cheating.

Tone would likely be different but then again they’re the serial winners we’re the challengers
They are always expected to win it all in the end regardless
@InvincibleDB10: he’s beyond very good. And contrary to popular belief he doesn’t have a team stuffed with world class players for every position. He is the one that improves his players period and when they leave it doesn’t tend to be the same for them.

Guardiola has never innovated ( is that a word? ) anything, he just copied Arrigo Sacchi and Johan Cruyff

I agree, he is probably the greatest and certainly the most successful manager but Man City have a bench full of players like Foden, Grealish, Stones, Doku, Gundagon, etc, who would start for most other clubs and because he rotates his first team it means he has fewer injuries than other clubs.
He also has a massive advantage of having elite players like Haaland because the owners give him the money to buy almost any player he wants.
Also if he spends 100m on a player that doesn’t work out, like with Grealish, he just moves on and gets another world class player instead, which most other managers can afford to do.
Completely disagree with this, Guardiola has always taken over teams where the talent was already there and got them playing together as a unit successfully .
Whereas Alex Ferguson took over a shit team and built 2 or 3 great teams, Cruyff and Sacchi completely reinvigorated Barca and Milano and Brian Clough achieved the impossible and then there’s Carlo Ancellotti.
Guardiola picked his teams well and got on with it, a great coach no doubt. But if you go way back in time and see what other managers have done with much less or no resources have a achieved, Guardiola wouldn’t even come near the top 10

and people say I’m over the top lol.
I agree with all these and you could also include Wenger on that list because he was arguably the biggest innovator in the PL and was Ferguson’s biggest rival, despite spending a fraction of what Man U did.
But although it’s true Guardiola has been the biggest spender at elite clubs in Europe, he has been the most successful in several different leagues while playing decent attacking football but, as you say, not necessarily a great innovator of the game.

History doesn’t lie football has been around longer than your memory
I’m sure it has. But I haven’t heard of a manager or footballer alive or dead who would rate Guardiola as low as you have.
He’s the Messi of his generation.
The biggest thing going against him is the 115 charges with City.
