Premier League 2017/18

Pep is way superior to Mourinho, no way around it.

 

[Neeraj]

First City (or EPL game for that matter) I've seen all season.

Winning streak ends! Pretty entertaining game!

Mou won CL with Porto and Inter. He is a cunt but wouldn't rate pep as having a better career yet.
While pep is one of the greatest he needs special environment to succeed.

With squad that mou had in porto or in inter, pep would do wonders, they were not weak at any means.

 

[Andresito]

Fraudiola. They should sack him

City got lucky there - result wise at least. De Bruyne looked in a bad state when he got stretched off. Bernardo Silva still doesn't look like the world beater that Barcaforum has made him into.

City got into the game overpowered by an opponent who wanted more to get something out of this game and had more fuel in the tank. It's how we lost points in La Liga with the best team ever back in 2011. Silva was better than De Bruyne, Sane, and Aguero btw. De Bruyne and Sane had a really poor game. Sane was owned by Fossu-Mensah, and De Bruyne messed up a lot of attacks and looked awfully tired out there.

Problems with city if bruyne is injured, its like taking messi from barca

Not even close. De Bruyne is not even the best midfielder at City. David Silva is.

De bruyne is strongest link in city, wihout him they are not such threat

Doesn't take a lot to be better than them tbh - they were all fairly bad. Silva wasn't good no matter what.
I also think it's an overly simplified way to analyse that game. CP took the game at the scruff of it's neck unlike many other teams who have looked scared shitless when facing City this season. Zaha alone was more than a handful for their defense and deserved more, even though he looked to go down too easy on the penalty.

City were pretty average, CP were decent, but not more than that. They haven't had a single shot on target until the pen. all game. When the whole team is looking tired and not very much in the game (apart from Walker) it's almost impossible for any player to stand out from City. So don't know why you picked this game, when the whole City team looked tired and slow to single out Bernardo Silva, who was actually one of the better performers from City (while still being average himself, just better than most of his teammates).

Whenever I've seen him, he's looked nowhere what he was hyped to - no different today. I also don't see any reason for him to be dead tired, seeing how fairly little he's played this season.

disagree, De Bruyne has been there best player this season, best player in the PL and best midfielder in the world, has also played more untill now, hope is injury isn't too serious

 

[Jenks]

Bernardo Silva is indeed massively overrated on here, he is not world class by any stretch of the imagination based on his performances for City this season. Sterling has offered more than Sane and Bernardo Silva both this season yet for some reason they're considered world class but he's talked about as some sort of Walcott 2.0.
