English Premier League '16-'17 Discussion - Part 2

if city lose- Pep is fraud
if city win- they have great team.
Chad said it best when he said "this forum "

How did he miss!

WHat a counter.

De Bruyne's miss is why you build from the back.

holy shit

City have played Stoke, Sunderland (two piss poor teams) and now a West Ham that lost to some no name team from Romania or somewhere midweek (I should know exactly where since they are fellow Europe League lads ffs)

Pep fanboys, pls calm yourselves.

They look good but we'll know just how good in a couple months when the fixtures start to get tougher

Would have been the best Pep goal for City .

Nolito is like a jittery pedro. The guy's first touch is awful

having £700mil worth of players should help him out a bit though.

Liverpool's spending for the last 5 or 6 years can't be too different can it? Only difference is that you guys consistently finish in 6th/7th/8th and lose cup finals

Still missing Bravo, Kompany, Gundogan, and Sane ffs.

Can't wait for the derby.

Nolito is ruining all their moves ffs.

forgot about that lol

not sure Sane will start

I also think De Bruyne's spot is in jeopardy tbh when everyone is fit

How many players are WH missing ?! And why in the world are they stockpiling CFs when their defense now with Cresswell being out with injury is looking utter shambles.

Aguero is an insane player.

Great move by City

yeah cause Spurs win trophies without spending don't they lmao

Future of the Italian national team, Ogbonna.

I don't really see where I mentioned Spurs, but good rebuttal tho

come on. Your love in for Spurs is a touch perverted.

Stones is so good at pausing with the ball just long enough to get one of the opposing strikers to run towards him. He's then able to pass the ball to the open player (the player the opposing striker was formerly covering).

@Cas, I agree. I think that after the initial overrating of Stones, he became kind of underrated last season because people pinned Everton's bad defense on him all too often. Does Stones need to improve the defensive side of his game? Yes. Was he himself 100% at fault for some goals--definitely (Martial vs Everton comes to mind). However, I don't think he's as bad as many made him out to be. He's a fine defender with room for improvement. The other aspects of his game have been well documented and you point out one positive facet.

I'm looking forward to watching more of him under Pep.

Blind would be perfect in this team.

They only do it because the criticism and ridiculousness of Pep has met his match in a real league. He'll need to drastically change the team to have success.

It was all completely ridiculous to begin with as I was telling you at the time. No one would be saying a thing if the anti Pep comments didn't come first.

So blame yourself for your own ridiculous City are average comments Also you quite clearly have no issue with hyping your own ridiculously easy start lol.

pretty sure I said City wouldn't walk the league (like some ppl have been saying) with the players they have, which I stand by. Nobody will be walking the league this season.

Also haven't hyped our performances at all. I know we've played crap teams and haven't looked amazing. Just comfortable.

Yup, it's the players. Considering City have never walked the league before...

Even on holiday mole returns to back Pep ffs

LOL missing the core of the team and making the game look like a training play bearing in mind Pellegrini's City lost 0-2 vs WH last season at Etihad...

I know you're pissing your pants with Manchester derby coming closer

Was reading while watching game at a bar and caught the ridiculousness

Calma pretty much no one other than a select few didn't think they'd win the league. Pretty much everyone was drinking the PL is competitive koolaid.

Although isn't about Pep more so the ridiculousness of Pep fanboys apparently going mad when they were only reacting to the haters ridiculous pre season claims.

I mean pretty much everyone didn't think they would win it on here lol(even Cas smh disappointed tbh) did you expect them to react any different?

Although I can't wait for GL to call them a great team when they started the season they wasn't good enough
