Premier League Gameweek 18 (16th - 18th December 2017)

City will dominate the league for sure...more record to break..theyll set the standard to high for everyone to catch..
 
City slicing through Spurs's defense like a hot knife through butter.
 
Biggest difference with City this season is that they've eliminated unforced errors from their play.

Spurs have really declined. Without Kane in perfect form they're really underwhelming.
 
City have the personnel to play the exact roles that Pep wants from his starting XI. So annoying that we have so many glaring weaknesses in our squad despite spending similar amounts.
 
You don't need to outdo or outpass City in order to beat them. Their pressing and movement is incredible, but they can be got at. Of course you need a dose of luck, but you need to take your chances.
 
These feckers have got to be on drugs or something.
 
City are the most incredible PL side I've seen. Utterly relentless. The pace and quality of their play is incredible to watch. The way they hunt in packs and give the opposition nothing. Never seen anything like it in England.

They're making Spurs look like Sunderland.
You can watch the Aldi version at Anfield, although we don't even press anymore because our defence is that terrible.
 
Not saying hoofball was the solution but no way we were going to successfully pass out of this press if we tried with our options in midfield and defence. It's suffocating
 
Their pressing just makes every good team unable to exchange the ball, only Napoli managed to outplay them for a while.

Difference is that they planned for Guardiola all along, and bought accordingly. We had dithering Dave and LvG the dinosaur handling our affairs, starting fresh over every time.

Both Alli and Kane aren't on the same level as last season. With also Alderweireld out, it was always going to be though.
 
Just need a unjustified disallowed Spurs goal and Liverpool will implode
 
Has to be a yellow all day long for Otamendi there. Oh he got it.
 
It's like watching a small version of Barca 2009. They're forcing every team to go deep against them, Chelsea, us then Spurs.

I actually think this City side would give the 2009 Barcelona team a good run for their money in a hypothetical contest, of course you have to say Pep's Barcelona are better for what they achieved but i would rank this City side better than Pep's Bayern, i'd rank Pep's teams (so far) as:-

1) Barcelona
2) City
3) Bayern
 
The playmakers and FB's are the main difference between us and them. When Mendy was available as well they were ridiculous with overlaps. Impossible to defend against if it is constant from both sides, which allows the wingers to congest the middle.
That's when they were scoring 5,6,7 goals a game as well.

When Evra declined/left, I saw how important a world class fullback is, and City are proving it again. Money no option, go and sign the best available.
