Trevor012:You're his lawyer. Tell him calling Madrid underdog is wrong before telling us what he explained or what he didn't. He's not the first person to believe that Madrid or any big/quality team is an underdog neither is he the only person in this thread. |

Exonerate1: Ibime knows how to come back pretty well and I respect that. I also respect the fact that he is always very clear when it comes to Messi(Argentina), Barcelona and Pep. He didn't want City to win and didn't shy away from coming out plain. He's also currently a fan of Inter Milan and you know why...For me, that's cool because I love clarity. Unlike some folks here hating on Pep and hiding under UCL Aura and hoping Madrid will beat this current city team. We tried to explain to them about City's home form in the UCL and their H2H against Madrid but no, aura wins UCL. If Pep wins this year's UCL, I can see a period of real dominance from City in this competition. Just like he's doing it in England, he can also do it in Europe 🌍 Agba Pep 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 1 Like |

Ibime:Rodri is playing and winning the ball higher up the pitch than Fernandinho used to so it's normal if he gets caught out and can't get back in time. It's all part of the job. But how many times has that happened for you to recognise it as a key weakness in his game?Pep understands that while Rodri and Fernandinho have similar profiles, they are different players. Fernandinho is the better disruptor, Rodri is better at ball progression. So, Rodri's interpretation of the no. 6 role is not what you would expect from Fernandinho, even though the basics are the same. You can't treat the difference in defensive numbers which isn't sizeable by the way, in isolation without considering other variables such as personnel in Defense which has changed from time to time, etc. That is another thing entirely. The easiest way would be to just judge by league ranking, which by the look of things, not much has changed. The deviation is perfectly normal. City are still a Top 2 Defense team for the most part in terms of goals conceded, clean sheets, shots conceded, XGconceded etc. 1 Like |

raumdeuter:Both Man Utd and City are big clubs. No underdog between both. But City are the favourites. That doesn't make Man Utd an underdog. If AC Milan meets City, there's no underdog as well, but City are the favorites based on current form. Both AC Milan and City are big clubs. When two big teams meet, one team can be the favorites. That doesn't automatically make the other team an underdog. |

pkasso: There are many situations where counterattack occurs and Fernandinho gets back in his box while Rodri will be 30 yards away. That's just the difference between them and it reflects in the goal conceded column Fernandinho was also top amongst passers, not to the extent of Rodri but you would sacrifice 5 extra passes a game for 5 extra recovery runs |

A001: Nothinham Forest has more UCL(2) than City who currently has 0 UCL. If they were to meet today in the UCL, who'll be the favourite? Also, let's go up a level. Manchester United has 3 and Milan with 7. If these teams were to meet city today, who will the bookmakers tip as favourite? You already know I guess. The bookmakers knows this that's why they gave City 1.65 and Madrid 6.2 odds to win. City were favourite yesterday Chief! 1 Like |

popizaino: Lol. Abi. The first guy who quoted me did so with his secret account cos I hardly see that moniker’s post. I checked and it was created less than a month ago so I understood what was happening. At this point, only Pep can stop City from winning a treble. If he keeps the status quo, he’s going to clinch it. But then, anything can still happen. It’s all in his hands now. |

popizaino: We would have beat them in 2009. Our undoing in 2008 was lack of rightback, Essien had to play there cos Ferreira had lost it, and Essien did not cope well there. Essien back in midfield with Iva right back, plus they had Hargreaves injured who was a big part of their 2008 draw/win on penalties |

Leyqute: How many players at the back is Pep playing currently to win the EPL this season Before Cuntay many people have played 3 at the back. Its a very common tactic is Italy. The Italian NT plays 3-5-2 most time When will someone try using Peps tactics of playing a full back in midfield and win the tactics like he won the league without a striker 1 Like |
