Bredbury Blue Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 (edited) ^Apparently Navas was alao found in Boring James Milner's pockets. Strange that Milner left City on the pretense of wanting to nail down a central midfield position and he's ended up Liverpool's utility player just as he was at City (think what he was really saying was he wanted a nailed down starting position which he's got at Liverpool, which he couldn't get at City 2 seasons back but he might now if he'd stuck around - think Pep would like him). Always rated Jimmy; like Zaba, gives everything every time. Edited January 2, 2017 by Bredbury Blue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bredbury Blue Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 The M.E.N. writers as usual are picking their starting 11 for today's game and suggesting changes http://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/man-city-burnley-line-up-12384943 I think Pep needs to pick his best starting 11and pick it every week now (I'm a great believer in players benefit from playing regular together). I'd go for: - Either goalkeeper (both unconvincing) - Zaba and Kolorov (Clichy having lost his speed looks finished to me) - Otamendi and Stones (Kompany n Stones if vinny comds back) - Fernandinho and Yaya - Silva, KdB, Aguero and Nolito to start (with Sterling on 2nd half for Nolito).

He's now one of the best left-backs in the league and he has 5 goals and 3 assists to boot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, Milner has been a revelation at left back. Hindsight being 20-20, but he puts both Kolarov and Clichy to shame. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jellydog Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 Had to have those 3 points and got them. Nice subs from Pep. Otamendi a stand out. Kun with a vintage blast. Sterling with a silly dive.

Bredbury Blue Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 Just seen the highlights on City website, not sure how Clichy's shot crept in, absolutely no idea how Aguero's shot from that angle beat 2 men on the line and I've no doubt joe hart would easily have punched that corner away which led to their goal.

Bredbury Blue Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 I really enjoyed watching Peps interview actually.

I don't think he is cracking up, I think he was hacked off with some reffing decisions (as well as some players) and so he let his feelings be known without actually saying something that would have landed him in trouble.

Bredbury Blue Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 The Sun article posted above. Isn't Pep only stating the facts and the opinion the club has been stating these Sheikh seasons that City don't have the history or the success of the teams mentioned; seems everybody is listening in a bit too much on Peps every word and nuance.

Bredbury Blue Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 The media axes are obviously being aimed at Pep currently and he'd be wise to adopt Rednose/Mourinho siege mentality.
