Mancheater City: Pep Guadiosa

[Juan Matas Beard]

even Man Utd fans would prefer to see Man City win it than Liverpool.

I mean this is not controversial at all tbh. The northwest rivalry goes back to the Industrial revolution when Manchester and Liverpool had competition with merchants, labourers and dockers.

Even in both United and City's logo's, you'll see there's an image of the Manchester ship canals in reference to the trade roots of the rivalry between Manchester and Liverpool. Eventually this rivalry extended to football and pop culture very quickly.

Point is, Liverpool being the biggest rivals for us shouldn't be a surprise at all. Even if Man City weren't a plastic club and I say this as someone that grew up around more City fans than Liverpool at school.

Lots of crying online from Liverpool and City fans about us 'parking the bus'; the question should be how the likes of Haaland, KDB, Foden, Bernardo can manage barely 2 shots on target across 180 mins of football against Arsenal.

Cry harder.

Jokes aside, the possession and touches in the opposition box are so telling. We let them have all of the ball and they did absolutely nothing with it, with less than half of the touches in our box that we managed in theirs with so much less of the ball. It's why people like @Rasmi moaning about toothless possession are so clearly lacking ball knowledge. We outperformed them in the ways that matter.

We got a great point away to a team that’s better than us. I’m happy with the point. But the way we set up also says we believe if we went at them they would beat us. It’s really not that complicated

I'm still in shock and awe that we could change our way of playing so drastically. I'm still not used to us being pragmatic and using 'tactics'. I can't believe how little possession we had and yet came out the better team. I don't know how there are still 'Arteta out' people. Nowt as queer as folk.

No you just fundamentally don't understand football which is why you were bricking your pants over Jeremy Doku who did nothing. By the way, how come the team better than us has less points, less goals and more conceded over almost 30 games and hasn't beaten us in the last 3 matches we've played against them?

This was at 44 minutes. But apparently we just parked the bus

We only decided to control the game without the ball after we found out Saka and Martinelly were not fully fit. If they are fit we keep 65% possession at least.

That makes sense. Was that quoted or your opinion?

Has any team ever had 65% possession against a Guardiola side?

Possession means nothing as you ended up winning that game 3-1, I didn’t hear any City fans complaining at FT. Also, we dominated sides under AW then ended up losing to smash and grab Fergie, Mourinho and other sides.

City fans are finally getting a dose what we had to face for many years and they’re throwing their toys out of pram lol

Cry me a ******* river lads.

Yes. Us last season at the Emirates. It clearly didn't work,hence why we changed tactics

He's the most dangerous kind of narcassist, the one that comes armed with a bald pate.
