City women made hard work of that match. Probably deserved the win overall. But I thought there were a few sloppy performances from some of them

I think he will be gone by tomorrow night. Wouldn’t surprise me if West Ham,already have his replacement lined up

Tolmie just said on X to ignore it that report. As simply Savinho wants the move and City just want more money. Fab Romano also said in last hour that no change Spurs want both Eze & Savinho to replace Maddison & Son and Spurs are currently continuing talks for both

With Reijnders and Rodri behind them and a back 4 of Ait-Nouri,Gvardiol,Dias and if no new right back comes in. I hope Pep gives Khusanov a few games there. But I would much prefer a proper quick up and down the flank right wing back. Fingers crossed City address that position

I’m happy with City’s attacking options. It looks exciting,but more contribution is needed from the likes of Doku & Savinho. The options Pep has now in attack is frightening. I hope we see an attacking 4 of Marmoush,Cherki,Savinho or Foden with Haaland leading the line at some point
August 2, 2025 at 9:09 AM
better. Foden was disappointing last season he wasn’t the only one. But I’m sure Foden will bounce back this season

The teams that will compete for trophies,this season. I’m sure will have contributions from all over the pitch. Players that a clinical in the moment. Too many see City players were far off that level last season. City wingers were very poor last season. Had they contributed more City might have
August 2, 2025 at 9:04 AM
Totally agree with all you said Tone. I just hope standards will be raised from a few in the squad,after last seasons up and down season. We can’t win everything and I expect a team to have a drop off at some point. But some players really let themselves and Pep down last season
August 2, 2025 at 9:02 AM
As it showed recently against Al-Hilal at the CWC. That Pep is still struggling to deal with opposition transitions. Teams in PL will exploit that weakness again. If Pep continues to play Gundogan & Bernardo in midfield. Then that will be a huge worry
August 2, 2025 at 5:57 AM
The centre backs don’t fill me with confidence. Apart from Gvardiol who I trust. The others now are either injury prone or error prone. Pep is still being loyal it seems to the likes of Gundogan,Stones & Bernardo.I think they will struggle this coming season. As City’s rivals are younger & stronger
August 2, 2025 at 5:55 AM
The wingers Doku & Savinho,don’t fill me with confidence. Not enough end product last season and not clinical enough and don’t contribute enough with assists or goals. The Right back position is now a worry. As well as it looks like Pep & City are happy to rotate others there now
August 2, 2025 at 5:50 AM
Also Tone do u think City will add anymore to the squad. I know all the talk is about outgoings now. Trafford is hopefully coming in. Then hopefully a right back. I was hoping a new centre back and a new winger like a clinical finisher(Rodrygo). But I think City are ok in attack,for this season now

I hate to criticise City players Tone. But last season I know Akanje suffered and played while injured. I just felt sometimes he could have done a lot better. You could see he either switched off or just couldn’t be bothered pick up his man or track back. Which disappointed me
July 27, 2025 at 3:33 AM
I agree Tone,there is going be quite a few leaving probably. I would have liked City sign a new CB this summer,but not going happen. Apart from Gvardiol I’m now not convinced by City’s CB’s. Stones & Ake too injury prone,play 1 week out the next & Dias & Akanji were regularly error prone last season
July 26, 2025 at 1:42 PM
If both of Gundogan & Kovacic left. It would be worth looking at maybe. But other than that scenario I guess it’s very unlikely. As Gundogan wouldn’t command such a huge fee. The only possibility for Kova is probably joining a Saudi team now. Don’t think that would be a huge fee either
July 26, 2025 at 12:57 PM
For me he’s been one of the best players in PL this season. If City want to continue to dominate the PL. Then they need its best players. His signing could also have something do with filling the English home grown quota in the squad possibly. He’s one of the best current English players available
May 26, 2025 at 9:54 AM
I like him I think Pep will make him an even better player,than he already is. Always thinks to go forward and drives forward with the ball. Something City lacked this season. With all the sideways safe passing
May 26, 2025 at 9:40 AM
I would be very happy with those four signings. Also if Grealish moves then I hope City replace him with a quality clinical winger hopefully Rodrygo 🙏🏻. Also if Ederson leaves then a new goalkeeper coming in too
May 26, 2025 at 9:38 AM
I just have a feeling and hope it will be 6 in and many up to 6,7 or maybe 8 out. Coming in two new midfielders hopefully Reijnders & Gibbs-White. Two new full backs on either side. A clinical world class winger with plenty of goals 🙏🏻. A new goalkeeper if Ederson leaves
May 26, 2025 at 9:19 AM
That would be my team too Tone. But I just have a feeling Pep will go with Akanje at right back. I hope not but I just think he will. But I was really impressed with Khusanov’s performance today
