dopeJemi: Tbf City do have the Best Squad In the League. However they also do have THE BEST MANAGER IN THE LEAGUE hence why they are 11 points ahead and still growing. This situation is quite similar to that of Chelsea's in the 2004/05 season under Mourinho. The Best Squad + Best Manager combo is incredibly deadly. As I type now, only prayers and bad luck on the injury front the likes of which We have never seen before can stop these boys. 2 Likes 1 Share |

A40:alonso isn't better than Mendy who is starter for city before his injuring,azpilicueta is the best defender in the league,but otamendi and stones are FAR from mediocre players,city have a far better squad than Chelsea,admitting this does not take anything from pep it is a glaring fact |

atheist5:The jury is still out on Mendy. That he was a stud at Monaco doesn't mean he can't be a bum at City as Bakanonsense has proven. Besides he has barely played Their squad is not far better anything. Your strength is in defense and theirs in attack so it evens out |

chic2pimp: in this link http://www.fifa.com/the-best-fifa-football-awards/news/y=2017/m=9/news=fifa-fifpro-world11-2017-shortlist-revealed-2908322.html this is about 20th September Not one Man City player made the list, This further proves what I have been saying that Pep has made the best out of his Team, we all believe he has the best squad now because he is blowing teams away with ease, is it not on this same thread guys were arguing who the better player is between Hazard and KDB, Now there is no one like him in the league, wetin make the story change now? As a Team, they are the best, because of their position on the log and the manner in which they got there, but do they have the best players? I don't think so because some of the players we call best now were castigated last season and most of us here would have passed on the chance to sign them why didn't we scream best squad last season when they were fumbling? It's still the same Stones and otamendi, It's a forgetten Delph, a benched Walker, it's still the same Sterling, So what changed? Leicester won the league two seasons ago, did they have the best squad? 6 Likes |

larride: Okay, so we should wait for the season to end before we know who the best manager in the league is currently, as we speak.. Hehehehehehe, Runner A wins the 200m race last Olympics, Runner B also competed, This Olympics, Runner B takes the lead with Runner A lagging behind with no hope of catching up in the race, According to you, we should wait till the race is over before we say that Runner B is ahead and the fastest runner between the two in this particular race all because Runner A won the last race when it is obvious Runner B is ahead and faster than Runner A Ranieri Was The best manager last season too before his sacking, it only became obvious Conte Was The best when the season ended not during the course of the season I hear you sir |

dopeJemi: You are singling out individual players whilst I am talking about the squad as a whole. Given a choice, most managers would pick city's. It's not as wide as some on this forum are making it out to be(that's just Bias against Pep speaking) but it's still marginally better. Last season Pep had the top2-3 squad in the league and with addition of a few players, the best currently. I have no doubt He would have won the league had His defence been up to par last season. Actually some thought He had the best squad last season hence the "Fraudiola" chants went up a notch. I have no doubts Pep's input into this squad has taken this team to the next level. The Man is a flipping coaching GENUIS for crying out loud. I was also one of His staunch supporters when the Fraudiola/Baldiola chants were at it's loudest but abeg let's not sell this squad of players short. 1 Like 1 Share |

chic2pimp: I still believe Pep made the best out of the squad, did he buy the best players out there? definitely not, I bet you, if this City team were 3rd or 4th on the log, very few will come here to say he has the best squad, that is why I said they are the best when they play as a Team.. Otamendi, stones and Co will remain shi.t in their eyes, cause I don't seem to understand how the players that were castigated last season have suddenly made up the squad that we now refer to as the "best".. Pep's magic I'll agree to disagree on this one 7 Likes |

dopeJemi: Is Pep getting the best of this squad? YES. If He wasn't they won't be this far ahead. They'll probably be about Level with United at the top of the table. Pep's defence whilst a vast improvement on last season's is still not that great. However that's not His strength. His strength has always been His attacking Flair. Looking at the Midfield +attack He has at it's disposal compared to that of His rivals, I think it's fair to say Pep has the edge in terms of personnel. Add this to Great Coaching and He becomes an unsolvable problem for the rest of the league. Give Mou that Mid+ Attack and He'll have them defending in no time. They'll still win games and might probably be at the top of the league but they won't be as good as this. Give Pooch this squad and He'll play scintillating footy almost as good as Pep but He'll end the season trophyless. Only Pep can play footy as good as this and still have something tangible to show for it come the end of the season. And oh yes I agree 100%. He is indeed MAGIC! 1 Like 1 Share |

dopeJemi: Guy, I feel you on this one jare! Same players that folks here were making jest of last season even before they had kicked a ball, have now turned "world best". Like you've rightly said, Pep deserves every bit of hype and credit he is getting. From the way he sets up his team, changes formation and player positioning in the game, you can clearly see that he is a "thinking" manager. Yes, he making the best of the players available to him because these guys individually ARE NOT the best players in their positions. Give Pep the same current United, Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool or Spurs team and he will significantly IMPROVE them! 6 Likes |

The same Sane that terrorized Madrid in the UCL as a teenager is the one some folks want us to believe is only playing well because of Pep... Sterling on the other hand was one of the best players in Liverpool and after Suarez left, he was their go to man but some folks want us to believe he is only playing well cos of Pep... Same Otamendi Man United tried to sign but was beaten to his signature is now an average defender cos people want to praise Pep. Walker isn't as good as Valencia because it's an argument, I must not lose. When to be honest they are both brainless, often depending on pace and power rather than footballing IQ, even at that, Walker, scores more and assist more. How on earth is current Ibra better than Aguero if not that it's an argument and as far as nairaland is concerned, it's an abomination to admit superior opinion in an argument. At this point in time, I'd love to see a coach who will even take Ibra over Jesus, very unlikely but folks look at United's bench and want to convince us that Ibra there is akin to the one that ruled series A when in all honesty he is past it. To see how ridiculous this whole thing is, they want us to believe Mendy and Kompany are out injured and shouldn't be considered when comparing both teams or doing a combined 11 but they are talking about Bailly who is injured, Shaw and Ibra who have barely played this season...Kompany that walks straight to the starting 11 anytime he feels slightly comfortable to play is the one they want us to believe isn't good enough when in all honesty he is better than anything Manchester United have to offer. Or is Stones who is not better than Smalling? Last season, people castigated Stones because of his price tag (Same excuse most Man Utd fans make for Pogba) and a bid to get to Pep for his preference for ball playing CBs. 9 Likes 1 Share |

Again you see them saying we were making jest of City players last season and praising them now when in truth, it's Pep that was mostly on the receiving end, I make bold to say that the difference between last season and the present one is that Pep has stopped trying to be too smart, he has kept things simple and this has made the team stronger. If you watched City last season, you'd have seen that the same players were tearing apart every team they came up against until it got to Pep's head and he started doing things unheard of, Zabaleta and Clichy, supposed fullbacks were tucking into the midfield (Crazy) leaving only Stones and Otamendi, now tell me which defender won't get exposed in this set up? The year, Walker is always at right back, Delph/Mendy at left back, he just ditched those crazy ideas of his that left them exposed not like he did anything out of the world or unseen... 2 Likes |

dopeJemi: Taking the lead is different from actually winning, that's the major difference, anyone can take the lead at any time in a race, who wins is what matters. As City been crowned champions yet? no? has the best manager in the league been given yet? No. Who is the current champion? Chelsea. Who is the current best manager in the league, Conte. I don't know when you turn like this oooo, but there's no harm in accepting when you are wrong. |
