Manchester City

[Buzzo]

Yeah, and despite what the scots say this is pretty big problem for them. They have never played before and i've said it loads, but Otamendi is pure ****e. Its a shame they dont have tough opponents for a while but they'll need a CB in January. Stones is pretty injury prone.

‘The scots’

True. It’s a big issue for them for sure.

But...

John Stones is garbage.

[BillobShaisley]

Leaves them with no real choice but to play otamendi and fernandinho at centre back

Stones out for 5 weeks

Have it you cunts

How's Aguero's defensive abilities?

[Kenneth]

Probably no worse than those of Stones.

[Norbs]

Anything that ****s with Josep's plans is good. The inability to rotate as much will hamper them

[Lecter]

Stones out for 5 weeks

I am not convinced this is good news. It will now force Pep to play Fernandinho there

No injury to Stones might have made him consider continuing with that disasterous partnership between Stones & Otamendi

Fernandinho is a serial fouler, he is always sticking his foot in. I see him giving away a lot of penalties and free kicks just outside the area.

Yes he is and so is Bernardo but look at how many times they actually get booked in a season

They both get away with murder for me so wouldnt pin my hopes on this

[Fosterbloke]

Good luck with Fernandinho in defense, he hates being turned!

They normal offend high up the pitch, which in turn gives a free kick but rarely a booking. This is one of Pep’s main spoiling tactics

For example, when Lucas was playing for us he would repeatably offend high up the pitch and rarely get penalised. However, around the last third of the pitch he was always giving away free kicks.

I think, at some point he would've gone with Stones and Fernandinho maybe, so Otamendi and Fernandinho is better.

[BigChief]

If Fernandinho is playing then surely Watford should approach the game with a view to diving around their area. Set pieces, big men, job done. Delefeu must like a dive?

[Exiled_red]

Papers reporting that Guardiola's wife is moving back to Barcelona, but Pep is going to stay until the end of his contract.

[Norbs]

One step closer to a breakdown hopefully

[Rigadon]

Papers reporting that Guardiola's wife is moving back to Barcelona, but Pep is going to stay until the end of his contract.

Assuming Guardiola leaves at the end of this season, who would City want as their next manager?... who could they realistically get?
