Beat Barcelona just a few days ago and draw with Midds after. It can only be the Great EPL It's not an EPL thing. Beating Barcelona will drain most teams. My brother, some of the logic is simply amazing. They will tell you that Aguero missed a sitter that would have ended the game because Aguero is...

Meanwhile, Conte's team is winning 5-0 against one of the so-called "seven title contenders." Is Conte not from a league that EPL pundits consider "dead"? How come his team is humiliating one of the solid teams in the "toughest" league? so you now using Conte to bail o...

5-0. Conte is finding the EPL sooooooo "tough." No wonder, because he came from the "dead" Italian league.

I don't understand this obsession with Guardiola. Is he the only foreign coach in the league? More than 70% of the players and the majority of the coaches in the league are foreign. The last time, it was Pellegrini who was singled out. What is the criteria for singling out players and coaches? The ...

I have said it before and will repeat myself that EPL is very unforgiving. All these coaches at new clubs will find it tough. Pep inherited the best squad on paper in the EPL and he will not win that easily as he did in Germany and Spain . The money has also shifted and more teams can keep players ...

Yaya Toure has a clause in his contract that says if he is still at City at the end of his current contract ie end of this season, he gets £11m. So I suppose it pays hims to beg so that he is not sold during the January transfer window. Unless of course he can convince a club in China to part with ...

Bale is no longer a midfielder. He is an attacker now. At the time this thread was opened, he was not close to being the best midfielder in the world. His game was more dimensional and relied on speed. He was probably the speediest midfielder at the time and had a powerful shot. he is a more refined...

1. Congrats to City and Pep - that was a great pressing/fast attacking game in the second half. Some people in the English media (and CE) were already sharpening their knives for Pep, now they will go into hiding. :) 2. Barca cruised after Messi's goal and it seemed they were going to win easily, bu...

I don't understand why people are expressing frustration that Pogba is not performing miracles. He is the same player he was last year when he cost only EUR 80 million. Just because someone decided to pay EUR 100 million a year later does not mean that his ability has improved by a corresponding ma...

I still do not understand why Finidi left Ajax for Betis.. Ajax is a selling club......I hate their policy but it brings money to the Team. That was a different era. Ajax was one of Europe's elite at that time. Betis was not even one of the elites in Spain. They must have offered Finidi a lot of ca...

On the 30 second goal by Pedro, I am reading the news that the tactic for the goal was Conte's but I believe our U20 under Siasia implemented such tactic at the U20 World Cup in the Netherlands in 2005. At kickoff, David Solomon Abwo, with jet propulsions, ran to the (I believe it was the Netherlan...

To be fair to Pep, Man city had very good chances by Nolito, Gundogan and De Bruyne which against a lesser keeper, would have gone in. One of the difference makers in this game was Ter Stegen. Barcelona could easily have been down 2-0 in the 1st half but for his amazing saves. To Pep, midfielders a...

I'd like to know why Pep benched Aguero and didn't even dress Nacho...arguably his two best attackers. He wanted numerical superiority in midfield, so a striker needed to be dropped for an extra midfielder. Man City actually controlled the midfield for large periods because of the extra man in midf...

"Neymar swerves Nicolas Otamendi and leaves John Stones chasing a shadow before slotting confidently past Willy Caballero. City have been rinsed and returned. " @ BBC Let me just say that John Stones is one very useless center-back. Yes, he can play the ball, but can he defend? The answer...

1. Not the best overall performance by Barca despite the scoreline. Their game was disjointed. The finishing was clinical, but Man City's defenders made too many childish errors and Claudio Bravo helped a lot by reducing his team to 10 men. The rest was individual brilliance by Messi and Neymar. In ...
