| ghettoglamour said: I don't follow the Premier League -like, let's say, every matchday - but I'm always wondering why Man City sucks balls THAT much. If you look at the players they should be at least the 3rd best team in Europe (just behind Barça and Real), but they play very weak at the Champions League 2 years in a row, won the last PL in the last minute (against the weakest versions of ManU and Chelsea over the last 5-6 years imo) and this year they fell back behind ManU very soon. What's the matter? They have such great Players like Silva, Agüero or Yaya Toure, but they don't seem to play well together. Is this Mancini's fault? |
Rory just covered a lot of their big issues, but I think some less talked about ones are the attitude and quantity of players City attually have. City have 38 active players (this is players who /could/ play, even though only 14 at a maximum will get played per match, now some of these (Tevez and Ballotelli) are just trouble makers in the dressing room, which doesn't make for a happy camp. Similarly because so few players are actually playing right now in the active team, many wont be happy with their bench role (I imagine Lescott, Milner, Barry and Sinclair could all fall into this category), finally add to the fact that some players don't care about city (Nasri defending in the wall for Van Persie's goal in the derby). Stick all that together, it's not that surprising they don't do we'll all the time (even if they've still won 4 out of the last 6 :P).
Liverpool haven't been doing too badly the last few games :) A convincing win over Sunderland is very good, but even better is us signing Daniel Sturridge! :D He was amazing at Bolton and I can't wait for him to recapture that form! :D
