Your Manchester Is Blue admin team talk all things City from this week.

In this episode we discuss: -City Arsenal Predictions -Premier league Statement "big picture" - Raheem Sterling is likely to be fit to face Arsenal despite the England withdrawal. -Kyle Walker making 50th cap for England -Bernardo Silva, Joao Cancelo and Ruben Dias all start for Portugal against Sweden tonight.

City Arsenal

Dave 2-2 Young 2-1 dan 5-1 lee 2-0

Agรผero does not plan to join another European club. He will stay at #ManCity until the relationship ends.

-- PL Statement "big picture" https://twitter.com/city_chief/status...

โ€”

Barcelona have an agreement in place with #ManCity defender Eric Garcia for the January transfer window after failing to sign him this summer.

โ€˜There is an agreementโ€™ between Barcelona and Garcia for January, although nothing has been signed as yet. โ€”

Roberto Martinez asked if there had been pressure from City to send De Bruyne back:

โ€œThe opposite - with #ManCity we always had a strong and respectful relationship and in this case it was just to try and get the best solution for the well-being of Kevin." โ€” ๐Ÿ—“| #OnThisDay in 2017, @ManCity DEMOLISHED @StokeCity 7-2 at the Etihad Stadium!

โšฝ๏ธ @GabrielJesus9 (17', 55') โšฝ๏ธ @Sterling7 (19') โšฝ๏ธ @21LVA (27') โšฝ๏ธ @Fernandinho (60') โšฝ๏ธ @LeroySane19 (62') โšฝ๏ธ @BernardoCSilva (79')

โ€” - [x] Raheem Sterling is likely to be fit to face Arsenal despite the England withdrawal. โ€”

Pirlo on Pep:

"Guardiola is an example for us all. Heโ€™s showing and has shown that heโ€™s one of the best. Since his years with Barcelonaโ€™s youth team and then by moving up to the first team."โ€œHeโ€™s shown that young coaches who are keen to promote a certain kind of attacking football are an example to follow."

"Then, we all have our own ideas and I think we need to take them forward, but heโ€™s definitely a role model for the whole footballing movement.โ€ โ€” - [x] Gareth Southgate on Kyle Walker making 50th cap for England:

  • [x] โ€œWe gave him a presentation before the game. I think he goes level with Phil Neal, which obviously I was the only one in the room who knew. And above Sir Geoff Hurst, which is incredible.โ€ โ€” Pep Guardiola:

"Without people, you know that it is not the same, it is another type of game. It is like a friendly game every time. It is not the same. We have to do it because the show must go on and there is a lot of money involved..."

โ€”

  • [x] Bernardo Silva, Joao Cancelo and Ruben Dias all start for Portugal against Sweden tonight.

The Blues are back!ย 

  • [x] "It's fantastic that football is resuming," "There are going to be record TV audiences, and it gives a lot of people something to look forward to.

  • [x] City's last game was a derby defeat at Old Trafford, when we did not really turn up.ย  BUT That performance is long gone now, though.

  • [x]ย 

  • [x] Neither City nor Arsenal are going to have changed too much since we last saw them - you just know City will have trained loads with the ball and they will play good, attacking, football.

  • [x] I would expect City to win because, regardless of the fact they are playing in an empty stadium, we have got better players than Arsenal.

  • [x] Itโ€™s been over 100 days since City played a match of any kind; and there will be no easing into the restarted season, as a fully-fit squad return to an empty Etihad on Wednesday night to face Arsenal.

Here we have Project restart and lets face it a bazaar new chapter to the season

  • [x] As for Mikel Artetas Arsenal they have a lot more to play for. Arsenal currently sit ninth in the table - eight points behind fourth-placed Chelsea, with a match in hand.ย 

  • [x] Arsenal had lost only one Premier League game since Artetaโ€™s appointment - a 1-2 loss to Chelsea.ย 

  • [x] Thereโ€™s certainly enough attacking prowess in Arsenalโ€™s attack to worry Pep.

Team News:

Here is some welcoming news to Manchester City fans - barring any last-minute fitness setbacks, We have a completely fit squad for the first time all season!ย 

Thatโ€™s right, with Leroy Sanรฉ confirmed fit to feature on Wednesday, and Aymeric Laporte similarly set to return, we are good to go

As for the Gunners, while Kieran Tierney and Hector Bellerin certain to feature on Wednesday. Elsewhere, Lucas Terreira is a doubt with an ankle injury, and Callum Chambers is still some months off from a return, following an ACL tear in December.

SO blues What do you think? How do you think we will get on?

My predicted Line up

Ederson - [x]ย 

Kyle Walkerย  Fernandinho and Aymeric Laporte.ย 

Mendyย  Rodri DM

Kevin De Bruyne pulling the stringsย 

Ilkay Gundogan in a starting XI.ย 

Bernardo Silva will start on the right wing,ย 

Sergio Agรผero orย  Gabriel Jesus a fully-fit Leroy Sanรฉ ?

Raheem Sterling completes Cityโ€™s starting XI.

Thought weโ€™d start with general football.

  • [x] Football restarting is Ian was a player how would he feel and then us as fans.

  • [x] Will there be any positives with there being no fans? Because they always say the best play is on a training pitch.

  • [x] Var where do we go from now.

  • [ ] Cityโ€™s season positive or negative.

Questions for Ian

  • [ ] Resigning for city as a older pro was his role to just calm play down and do you think city need that now

  • [x] Re-Joined City in 1999 with Dickov Goater SWP Pollock Horlock Whitley Weaver

  • [x] The chaos joe royal has to fix

  • [x] How confident was you to over turn the result against Gillingham and was Mark Halsey the unsung hero

  • [ ] Helped city to the victory over gilliamham in 99

  • [ ] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1998%E2%80%9399_Manchester_City_F.C._season

  • [x] Manchester City: Fans beg club to sign Dayot Upamecano after 33% drop in asking price - A number of Manchester City fans have urged the club to sign Dayot Upamecano after RB Leipzig reduced his asking price by 33%. German media outlet Sport Bild reported that the Bundesliga outfit have amended their valuation of the 21-year-old from โ‚ฌ60m (ยฃ52.28m) to โ‚ฌ40m (ยฃ34.85m),

--

  • [ ] Man City might have found their perfect midfield signing in Sandro Tonaliย 

Sandro Tonali was first linked with a move to City back in November 2018 when he was turning heads in Serie B for Brescia. His talent then was irrefutable and he had already received his first senior call-up to the Italy national side by former City boss Roberto Mancini.

Sixteen months on, he is one of the most coveted young midfielders in European football, shining in a Brescia side languishing at the foot of Serie A.

--

  • [x] Manchester City prepared to let Leroy Sane leave for FREE next year if Bayern Munich cannot match Premier League champions' valuation of the winger Bayern Munich 'bid' for Leroy Sane does not come close to Man City valuation - ยฃ35m City see this bid as a โ€˜new offenceโ€™ by Bayern, whose โ€˜constant attacksโ€™ and efforts to make their interest in the player public have ended up โ€˜breaking the relationshipโ€™ with the club.

--

  • [x] Premier League clubs could offer their fans an application which would allow them to send virtual cheers or jeers from their homes directly to the stadium within a second in the hope of generating an atmosphere at fixtures being played behind closed doors, according to Matt Hughes of the Daily Mail.The Myapplause application has been tested by a number of Bundesliga clubs and the developers are keen to share their technology with the Premier League.ย 

--

  • [x] Should Manchester City progress to the final of the FA Cup, it would currently clash with other commitments. The 2020 FA Cup Final is scheduled to be played at Wembley, behind closed doors, on August 8th - the same day UEFA intend on resuming the Champions League.

--

  • [x] The four remaining Champions League last 16 matches are aiming to be played on the weekend of August 8th. Quarter-finals would take place the following midweek. The Turkish FA remain confident they will be able to host the final in Istanbul as planned.

On Todays City Social Monday Agenda

  • According to a report from Italian outlet La Gazzetta dello Sport, Man City may have been dealt a potential set back in their pursuit of Napoli stalwart Kalidou Koulibaly โ€“ with club chairman Aurelio De Laurentiis apparently refusing to compromise on his lofty โ‚ฌ100 million asking price.

  • Kevin de Bruyne is blunt, but not in a bad way. English newspapers picked up comments heโ€™d made during a chat with HLN. There was certainly a hint that he may consider leaving City if the Champions League ban is upheld, yet Mondayโ€™s edition of HLN

    • The Belgian newspaper make clear โ€˜it was not a threatโ€™, despite some seeing it that way. And itโ€™s also stated that Manchester City are โ€˜not worriedโ€™, and the club prefer to concentrate on De Bruyne insisting heโ€™s happy there.
    • puma sterling
  • Arsenal were in talks to sign Yan Couto in January supposedly, before he agreed a five-year deal with Manchester City instead.

The young defender has been likened fellow countryman Dani Alves, who is in the latter stages of his career, but should he be anywhere near as successful as his counterpart he would be a great capture. The youngster has admitted that he also turn down the opportunity to join Alves former club Barcelona after talking to Man city boss Pep Guardiola, who told him he would have the chance to showcase his skills in pre-season before a decision will be made on whether he will stay with the first-team squad or better suited to a loan deal.

Couto said: โ€œI had a good conversation with Barcelona and I thought I would go there. But then Manchester City appeared and showed me how things would be there. โ€œAt first, they wanted to loan me out straight away, but then I spoke with Guardiola. He told me that I would do preseason with the first team and from there it would depend on me. โ€œGuardiola was very attentive and said that he was really happy I was coming to the club. It was the best decision for me.โ€ * puma shirt release

6 years since slip Manchester City boss rekindles interest in Juventus ace Bonucci - Bonucci has been heavily linked with a move to City in recent years but has previously opted against leaving Italy because of his son's health problems. - โ€œWeโ€™re facing a global crisisโ€ โ€“ Man City owners on delay in club investment Manchester Cityโ€™s owners, the City Football Group, were supposed to have taken over AS Nancy by now. Reports of talks to do so emerged earlier this year and everything went very quickly, with it assumed Nancy would be brought into the City family, and potentially provide another club for Manchester City to loan players to. Indeed, it was all supposed to be finalised by the end of March, with a press conference for early April set to reveal the deal and the new relationship. French newspaper Lโ€™Equipe look at the situation on Sunday, and theyโ€™ve spoken to a source at the City Football Group, who told them: โ€œThere is still the will to buy AS Nancy. We are facing a global crisis. Today there are aspects that we do not control. But we havenโ€™t changed direction.โ€ -- Joe Hart lifts lid on Pep Guardiola conversation Joe Hart has revealed what Pep Guardiola told him ahead of his final competitive appearance for City. Hartโ€™s time at the Etihad was unexpectedly cut short soon after Guardiolaโ€™s arrival in the summer of 2016. The long-serving goalkeeper played his final match against Steaua Bucharest, which he describes as the most โ€œemotionalโ€ he has been involved in. "Pep was making it very clear that I had to leave Manchester City," he said in an Instagram Live video. "I played one game where it was a few days before the end of the transfer market, it was a Champions League qualifier against Steaua Bucharest. He asked me if I wanted to play and I just said: 'Listen, you're the manager. You decide whether I play or not, I don't make those decisions'. "I played, it was at home, and it was emotional. It wasn't nice but it was also awesome to be in a stadium full of love and people who made it very clear that it wasn't their decision that I was leaving." -- Silva picks toughest City game David Silva made a surprising choice when asked about his toughest game for City. The Spanish playmaker, who will depart the Etihad this summer, has made 423 appearances in 10 years at the club. Silva has won four Premier League titles, five League Cups and two FA Cups in that time, and has faced some excellent teams in England and in Europe. But the former Valencia man believes a trip to Hull City gave him the hardest 90 minutes heโ€™s endured in a City shirt. โ€œThere have been a lot of tough games, but to pick one โ€” I think it was one against Hull City away in the 2013/2014 season,โ€ he said. โ€œThey sent off (Vincent) Kompany I think, and we really needed to win the game to win the league, so we did it, but it was tough to do that with ten men.โ€œ

Total When i started playing football at a junior level i was a defender or a goalkeeper and i used to love watching you and tony coton play. * Colin Hendry match worn First Division City debut shirt...worn 18th November 1989 v Nottingham Forest.... would be be voted man of the match in a 0-3 home defeat.

  • started as a striker and moved to defender

  • I'm very interested in the squads while Colin was with us. Take a look, Lake, Hughes, Brightwell, White, Hinchcliffe - all home grown. How good were those players? Did you see Lake becoming an all time great?

    • 1990, Lomas and Sheron broke through too.
  • The older fans were gutted when Kendall left for Everton. Though Reid did well for us there's this feeling we might have really done something under Howard. Does Hendry agree? Think he might because he was a Kendall signing.

  • Cliche and I know professionals get asked all the time but of course would like to know best players he played with and against too.

โ€” Facebook * Dan Halifax Name 5 players youโ€™ve played with that you would want on the ultimate night out. Itโ€™s a 10 pint minimum

  • Dan Halifax After being named player of the year in 1990 he fell out of favour with Peter Reid. What went wrong and was this a blessing in disguise as he then went on to win the Premier League with Blackburn?

  • Kurt Wilby I always thought that it would have been an excellent pairing Hendry and Curle , utilising the aerial ability & power of Colin and the speed & guile of Curle. I am sure that Reid held a grudge against him only ever appeared to play him as a last resort or up front desperately trying to save a point

  • Dave Roberts - Colin was lucky enough to be at Maine Road with several FA Youth Cup Winners. What are you thoughts on them and us older fans feel that Paul Lake was going to be a world beater. Was he the best you saw in your time at City?

  • Andy Peter Duart-DeMoncey Iโ€™ve just read Peter Reidโ€™s book and be actually admits that selling Hendry was a mistake.

  • Graeme Coutts Kynoch Park or Maine Road?

  • Who was your best manager? of your career

  • If he could go back to Euro 96, would he consider just cleaning Gazza out and take the booking?

  • How does it feel to have won more Premier League winners medals than Steven Gerrard?

  • Do you keep in touch with any of the city squad you played with?

  • Tell me about your time with City

  • [x] Eddie Large

  • [x] DAN TOPIC - The pod: And I think one of the main topics (virus related in some retrospect) a huge credit of appreciation towards city's owners as they are part invested in the Excell centre in London, the one they're using for a new hospital, and that the Etihad has opened up to NHS staff and the equipment band resources available are there for them. Also I don't think we mentioned it, might be wrong, but Peps โ‚ฌ1m donation to Spain's aid too.

  • [x] Chris topic I want to cover tomorrow is achievable signings. Despite us being a much bigger club than 10 years ago, we are still not at the level of basically handpicking players. Only Real, Barca and Juve are at that level. That is to say, if a Mbappe, Haaland, Sancho are available and there's multiple bids, it's still those 3 clubs that will win out. All this talk of us getting Haaland in particular is nonsense. We essentially are at the stage of making good players better and thankfully not having to sell them. We should by rights no way have signed Aguero as he really is our only ready made world class signing. More to say on this but it's dinner time here! Take care lads.

He is a good fit for City, giving Guardiola another option out wide and a versatile player who can keep the width or drift inside to help build play with the attacking midfielders such as Kevin De Bruyne. Despite only turning 20 last month Torres has already made 88 appearances for Valencia and while there have only been nine goals, his coaches have raved about him.

Lawrence Sanchez Del Rio What with the rumour mill churning out (Mbappe agrees terms with Real) If you knew he was open to a move to city to work under Pep, would you pay the ยฃ260 mill for him which would eat all our transfer money, or do we go for several players instead? I'm with the latter personally as I think we need at least a replacement for Otamendi and maybe another. I ask as some city fans actually think he would be worth the gamble. What do you think?

  • [ ] Ross Lapthorne Although height isnโ€™t everything, is it an issue? I feel we are missing some dzeko-esque height in the box. Thoughts?

  • [x] Charles Dintoa Sane, we need to know what is going on with him. Is he staying or what?

James John Harvie Iโ€™d rather not win the champions league and play it through the proper format than win it in some of the bizarre ways UEFA are looking to try and force it through eg. Four team mini tournaments. The champions league is the one chance to see the best teams in Europe live. Iโ€™m so disappointed about the Madrid game, I was buzzing for playing a big European side for the first time since Barca in pepโ€™s first season. I donโ€™t want to watch some CL facsimile played god knows where!

Leicester Vs City

Possession Home32%Away68% Shots Home10Away18 Shots on Target Home3Away7 Corners Home3Away7 Fouls Home14Away10 Penalty City have failed to score their last four top-flight spot-kicks and are now closing in on Arsenal's record run of penalty misfortune. The Gunners missed the first five penalties they ever took in the Premier League, leaving City desperately searching for a hero after Aguero joined Ilkay Gundogan, Gabriel Jesus and Raheem Sterling. QUOTES "Don't ask me about the attitude of these guys," said Guardiola. "You still doubt what they have done. These players have won seven titles in the last eight [domestic] competitions. "Today, after missing the penalty, see the reaction we had against an incredibly good team, not just for where they are in the table right now but the way they played in general this season. It was an incredible test for us." Sterling Interview Madrid Guardiola admits that rival clubs "tremble" when Real Madrid or Barcelona come calling for their star players. He said the Spanish pair had pulling power that left every other club vulnerable. "All the clubs have to know that when Real Madrid or Barcelona knock on the door the other clubs must tremble - they will be a little bit in trouble," he said. "Barcelona and Real Madrid are maybe the strongest and most powerful teams in terms of history and how good they are. "I don't know if Madrid or Barcelona have called Raheem's agent but I don't have any doubts about his commitment from the first day to the last." Sterling's current City contract expires in 2023. It was suggested last year that the 25-year-old would be offered an extension, although that is yet to happen. How Manchester City could line up against Real Madrid

What's next?

City head for the Bernabeu on Wednesday to face Real Madrid in the first leg of their Champions League tie (20:00), then go to Wembley on Sunday to play Aston Villa in the final of the Carabao Cup (16:30). FACTS * Manchester City have kept successive clean sheets in the Premier League for only the second time this season (also in October 2019). * Manchester City have won six of their last seven league meetings with Leicester City (L1), as many as their previous 21 such clashes. * Gabriel Jesus has scored four goals in his five Premier League appearances against Leicester City; only versus Everton (seven) has he scored more in the competition. * Manchester City have failed to score from each of their last four Premier League penalties, with each being missed by a different player (Aguero, Ilkay Gundogan, Jesus, Raheem Sterling). * Manchester City attempted 18 shots in this match, the most Leicester have faced in a single league game at King Power Stadium since Manchester United had 19 in December 2017. *

Manchester City 'pip Arsenal to the signing of Brazilian starlet Yan Couto as they agree ยฃ5m deal for "the new Dani Alves"'

  • The full-back, 17, has been labelled 'the new Dani Alves' by the Spanish press

Couto is one the most highly-regarded talents in Brazil's youth setup and reports earlier this month stated that Arsenal had identified him as a long-term replacement for Hector Bellerin. Couto starred for his country in the Under-17 World Cup last year, a tournament which Brazil won on home soil.

  • [x] The statistics behind Tottenham's win on Sunday might suggest it was another Jose Mourinho masterclass. In reality it was more a story of Manchester City's missed chances.

Red card will annoy Guardiola more than the misses

Manchester City have now lost six games in the Premier League this season, their joint-most in a single campaign under manager Pep Guardiola (six in 2016-17).Manchesterย 

City have gone consecutive games without scoring for the first time under Guardiola, having last done so back in March 2016 under Manuel Pellegrini (three games without aย 

goal).

Manchester City have failed to score four of the last six penalties they have taken across all competitions

  • [x] Manchester City host West Ham in their next Premier League game on Sunday, 9 February (16:30).

FAN QUESTIONS

  • [ ] Darren Beswick Poor finishing cost the game yesterday I don't think slagging players off works we all need to stick together move forward and get back to being the great team that we are. Personally I would like to see Garcia get a run of games under his belt the lad is class

=-

  • [ ] Mark Dorey There are a few points on here I definitely want to know the answers to. But the main question Iโ€™ve not seen is why we persist with Zinchenko as a left back. Heโ€™s not a left back, heโ€™s a left winger. Every time we get targeted there. If weโ€™re not playing Mendy there, why not Cancelo. Itโ€™s like we got lucky with Delph one week and Pepโ€™s decided than anyone can play there. Zinchenko is a decent attacker, but the one bit of defending he did this weekend he got booked (and subsequently sent off) for.

=-

Andy Callery With the league gone, one final booked. And realistically only the FA cup left to win, weve not a prayer in champs league, is it time if Foden is Silvas replacement to get him involved. After all its Davids last 13 games now and to throw foden in on day one in 20/21 season may be a bit rash. He needs regular starts and involvement now. Not just last 10 mins every now and then

=-

Carl Turner Does the team actually work on finishing in training? It seems to me that all they work on is retaining possession and passing. We seem to have forgotten how to finish of chances including penalties.

=-

Neill Morton Not sure how everyone else feels but I have alot of questions.

Why is fernandinho still on defense?

Why hasn't Mendy been replaced?

Why didn't we replace Kompany?

Why did Silva get captain when he seems to be a sub this season?

Why did Sterling become terrible?

Why does Gundogan not seem like a threat any more?

Why does every game seem like the opposition scores when they get a shot?

Why dont we play foden?

Why are we missing so many penalties?

Why do we never score from corners?

I'm sure you all have alot of questions too

=-

Trudy Burns Why did aguero not take the penalty yesterday, sterling ,otamendia,stones and mahrez need to go

=-

Mursal CAli We need also to adress to give youngsters a chances to play like foden and garcia and also

To mix our games with long passes and shooting from

From distance Because teams adopted our tikitaka football

Energy wasting

=-

The hypocritical media and PL/FA who often said Utdโ€™s dominance was good for football but Cityโ€™s wasnโ€™t !!! now calling out Pep for mentioning it !!!

--

  • [x] Do you think athleticism and general lack of pace is hindering this city side ? Things seemed fine when ferna was in midfield with his dynamism. Walker essentially saved the back 4's behind vs utd with his pace

--

  • [x] Are City unlucky this season or have teams got their tactics right against us or do we have serious strategic issues?

--

  • [x] Rodri/Gundogan double pivot doesn't work and Pep needs to dispose of it ASAP

  • [x] Pep can't legislate for abysmal finishing. He got his tactics spot on in both defeats this week

Squad needs an overhaul in the summer

--

I have a question for u to debate about, Does possession football work anymore and is counter attacking football the future for football?

Peps Controversial comments

United Vs City in the Semi Final second leg Preview

City Vs Fulham Review

Fan Questions

Definitely address today Pep's comment re empty stadium. Don't get me wrong, I love Pep but he has limited knowledge of our incredible support pre Shiekh Mansour and we are not all earning 20 million per year and many hard working City fans simply can't afford it.ย 

Here's an idea Pep, why don't you give 10% of your salary to the City ticket office which can then use that budget to reduce prices on Carabao/FA/CL games. We are the wealthiest club in the world. Act like it.

--

David Peters Despite the 10man Fulham team, daft question but why didn't we go for the throat, I'm the past we didn't stop scoring.

Also do you think we'll see a reduction on ticket pricing based on sales with so many games, and people just not having much disposable income to spend on games.

Personally have been to a lot of games and it costs a lot each time, not just tickets themselves but travel from Doncaster plus food n drink, I'll clear ยฃ200 per game for 2 adults.

I took our 4 kids to Fulham game and was stunned at numbers initially but then it's obvious with utd coming up where people would rather spend on.

Which brings me onto pep, is he out of touch with fans and pricing, when he moans about numbers in ground and atmosphere, it was poor btw but then again cheap seats has more kids attending I think.

Becca Jayne Fernandes Do you think sterling has the confidence to play in the derby ?

--

Mark Dorey Why do they stick the away fans up in the Gods for cup competitions? It completely kills the atmosphere and banter between the two sets of fans.

*City lost a Premier League game having led by two or more goals for the first time since April 2018, when they were beaten 3-2 at home by Manchester United.

TEAM OF THE DECADE

Mahrez had 10 shots in this match, the most by a player in a single Premier League game since Andre Schurrle against Burnley in August 2018 (11).

Since his Premier League debut in March 2012, Raheem Sterling has won more penalties than any other player in the competition (17).

Gabriel Jesus netted his first goal in 12 home games for Manchester City in all competitions, since netting against Schalke in March. Each of his last 14 goals for the club before today had been scored away from the Etihad.

His leveller for Manchester City was the 500th Premier League goal scored this season. It is the earliest date the milestone has been reached in a single campaign in the competition since 2009-10 (19 December).

Riyad Mahrez became the fifth player to have played for Leicester in the Premier League and then score against the Foxes in the competition, after Julian Joachim, Emile Heskey, Chris Wood and N'Golo Kante.

Kevin de Bruyne became the first player to register double figures for assists before Christmas in a single Premier League campaign since Arsenal's Mesut Ozil in 2015-16 (15). 90,000 likes -- Manchester City have won 250 Premier League games in the 2010s, becoming just the second side to win that many in a decade (Manchester United won 255 games in the 2000s). -- Potential pep successors now arteta has left? --

City vs arsenal

Man of the match - Kevin de Bruyne (Manchester City)

de Bruyne has been directly involved in 19 Premier League goals in 2019 (seven goals, 12 assists); the most of any midfielder in this period.

Arsenal have lost their last five Premier League meetings with Manchester Cityย 

This was the sixth time Manchester City have beaten Arsenal in the Premier League under Pep Guardiola (P7 W6 D1 L0), as many wins as City managed against them in the competition before Guardiola's arrival (P38 W6 D9 L23).

Manchester City have scored 25 away Premier League goals this season; the joint most by a team in their first nine away games of a single campaign, matching City's 25 goals in 2011-12).

Arsenal conceded three first-half goals in a home Premier League game for only the second time, with the other also coming against City in March 2018.

City's Raheem Sterling netted his seventh away league goal this season

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola: "We made an incredible result but the way we played against Manchester United [a 2-1 defeat last weekend] was better in many, many things.

"I know we are judged on the result but I have a duty to judge the performance, not just the result."

City's flaws exposed again

Utd look so dangerous when we get he ball and go forward against arguably the best team in the world.

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola speaking to BBC Match of the Day: "Yes we lost but I congratulate my team: my players were fantastic, we are a fantastic team

This is Pep Guardiola's worst points return after the first 16 matches of a top-flight season in his managerial career (32 pts).

Pep needs to learn from SAF โ€“ to rebuld a squd and keeo them focused โ€“ there are arguably 6/7 players in our current squad who wont be there next year?

Manchester derby racist abuse claim: Man arrested

Wednesday 11th December 2019

CHAMPIONS LEAGUE - GROUP C ยท Dinamo Zagreb17:55Man City

Rhys Walker The transfer window needs discussing for me. Personally, I feel as if there are persistent weaknesses with our current starting 11. Fair enough weโ€™ve been done over by injuries this season, but weโ€™re meant to have a good amount depth which I think weโ€™ve been lacking in a few areas. Do we need to buy? If not then what needs to change

James Bunkell Is Angelino good enough at this level? Would switching Walker to center back alongside Ferna be a better option than Stones and mean Cancelo (who looks quality every game Iโ€™ve seen) gets more games.

Derek Trowell Am I the only one whoโ€™s annoyed with the reaction of some of our โ€œsupportersโ€ who, when we drop points, seem to think the world is falling and claim the team/Pep is โ€œbrokenโ€?

And a question for the older Blues, have there always been a fair share of complainers? Or is this a bi-product of our recent success?

Cheers.

Reetesh Giri As pep said there will no one coming this January , so do you think we can do well with what we've got at the back now?

Yeah , laporte's return will be really great but still will the things remain as it is or will it change?

And how about Cancelo playing out of position ( left back) ?

Keith Alexander If we donโ€™t play Garcia and Foden they will be looking to exit the club, Garcia has been excellent every time heโ€™s played.

Moira Fenton Who do you think will go in January - and in the summer. Now work out how many we're going to need to replace externally and who would you like to see coming in :)

Graham Stafford I think as league can now not be won its time to get youngsters on that pitch. Whatever happens then doesn't matter. They will learn and only make team stronger for experience. If not doing that shut the academy as makes it a pointless thing to have. Unless of course city want to spend millions just so eventually they end up at another top club where then become successful.

Andrew Mc Is pep overly relying and therefor exhausting and contributing to injury of the first team whilst simultaneously stagnating the fringe and youth players making them less confident and rustier when they do come on?

Every other top premier league team has recently shown that you must rotate and blood fringe and youth players.

Adam Potts Do u think we should concentrate on the champions league now we have no chance of winning the league and also academy players should play more than just pre-season, against the easy teams like in the efl

Thomas Knight Then leagues as good as gone ... do we want Leicester to beat us (next home game) as they are at home to Lโ€™pool on Boxing Day and if they win both games they get closer to stopping them win the league ... interesting thought!!!!

Q'wayne Heath How would you grade rodri performance from season started ?

Do we need a centre back ?

Can we push for second place when key players return ?

Who has been the stand out player in the team this season ?

Do you think we need a rebuild ?

--

Jรธrgen Jensen Should we sign another CB in January? If so, who?

Joy Dutta Could we buy Shelvey and Soyuncu to build a wall to our defence?

Could we buy Erling Haaland and Bale to bring in pace to the game?

Why our set pieces like corners so wasteful?

Arenโ€™t both silvaโ€™s underperforming and need replacement?

Nafis Yunus Khan Can we do a Real Madrid and end up winning the champions league by being shit in the league??

Isaac Skidmore Is it time too possibly considering moving Sergio on and selling Jesus too bring in the likes of Kane

John Drinkwater Play Foden and give Garcia some games with Fernandinho and Rodri playing as holding midfielders.

Owen Fish Walker needs to go centre back cancelo right back Fernandinho back in midfield if needed with rodri. Drop D Silva looks tired, play foden. Then sign massively in the summer to reinvest in the team. Looks like a few players will be leaving us this summer.

Dave Shepherd Hi last week after Burnley , without mentioning other defence players I asked your views on why Otamendi had played so well. Could it have been because of who he was paired with it worked well. Now to cut to it , Otomendi out Stones in , terrible. ? Isnโ€™t it time Stones who appears to have lost skill and confidence should be rested for a while, he signals all his moves and makes me nervous on the ball.Great show btw

John Lunty Lunt Foden and Garcia need to start. Canโ€™t be any worse. Looked more than good enough and composed when theyโ€™ve played. And if foden is โ€œ the best player heโ€™s ever seen โ€œ then play the lad ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿปโ€โ™‚๏ธ

Not enough energy in midfield without ferna. For as good as rodri is โ€œ only his first season โ€œ heโ€™s just not ferna yet.

Definatly need a centre back in January and a left back. 3 left backs and non of them are good enough. ( I know zinchenko has done well but heโ€™s not a full back )

David Christie How can we stop racist abuse from happening?

Matias Zolotarev Should Pep play youngsters more now since we are out of the title race, but can still fight for top 4? Or should we still play our top team and focus on finishing as high as possible?

Are domestic cups our main priority now, since I can't see us winning UCL with this team? Can you?

How would you comment on Pep's views about City not being able to compete with Europe's elite right now? Is he right or wrong? Why?

Match stats - Silva almost matches last year's total

๏‚ง This was the 36th time that Manchester City have won a Premier League game by three or more goals under Pep Guardiola - the most of any team in the competition since the start of the 2016-17 season.

๏‚ง Burnley have conceded 11 goals in their three home games against "big six" opposition in the Premier League this season (L3), compared to only two goals in five home games against the rest (W4 L1).

๏‚ง David Silva has made six assists from open play in the Premier League this season; just one fewer than he managed in 33 appearances last term.

Fan questions

DarkSeven Mld mahrez and bernardo are on a great form, isn't it time to rest a bit sterling?, been couple games he's not that sharp as he used to be.

Jake Cunningham Any football fan knows they would have Pep at theyre club in a heartbeat heโ€™s the best !

Jake Cunningham How long do you think heโ€™s gonna stay? thatโ€™s my question and who would we get in when he leaves

Mark Ernest should garcia be getting into the starting 11 next season?

Derek Lucas My question would be along the lines of, when is Garcia going to get a game from the start in the premier league? If you are good enough, youโ€™re old enough...

Brent Geske When do you feel Eric Garcia is ready to hold the line?

Ant Kirwan-White Is it the right time to blood the likes of Garcia & Bellis-Harewood and have ferna back in midfield & given his age who would you sign to replace him.

Ashley Hesk Angelino in my opinion has been our best left back In my opinion yes he has been caught out a few times but his forward play has been second to none, have we got ourselves a little gem?

Nafis Yunus Khan I really do think Angelino should start for the next 4-5 games...in my personal opinion he is the best we got...can defend(I know,a shocker) and puts in a good delivery

Chris Blenkinship-Lane A lot of focus has been on the players and management. What about owners/chairman? Who would you say has been the most influential over the past 30 years? I know many will say our current owners however I dont think the likes of Francis Lee, Bernstein and Shinawatra should be so easily overlooked...where would we be without them in the first place???

Joshua Cameron Why are city fans being so melodramatic and pessimistic? We are having champions numbers after 15 games, liVARpool have won 8 out of their 13 games by a 1 goal difference 2-1 seven times and a fluke 0-1 away to Sheffield. Do you really believe their luck will continue? Donโ€™t you believe they will hit a bump?

Moira Fenton I wondered what your views on the youngsters are, for example, last season when Mendy was out, Pep was basically forced to play Zinchenko - and he was amazing after a bobbly start, so bearing in mind that Fernandinho is playing in defence, should Pep give Garcia and Harwood Bellis a run in the centre of defence. They play well together for the unders, and that way, Fernandinho would be able to get back into midfield, where - in my opinion - he's at his best. I know he's said he ikes Ferna in defence, so I'm sure it will not happen but I wanted to hear your views :)

Dave Shepherd Otamendi played well last night,can you identify if it was anything to do with those at the back with him.

Elis Watts Isnโ€™t it time Bernardo played in number 10 ahead of David Silva? Move Mahrez out the right and sterling on the left. The way Bernardo plays at 10 for Portugal creates basically all of Ronaldoโ€™s goals๐Ÿคท๐Ÿปโ™‚๏ธ

Frank Lane Years ago the players came out 10 minutes before kick off to get warm and no subs very few muscle injuries and same team played week in week out,so how come all the problems today out 40 minutes or so before kick off.and the balls are a lot lighter now not the old leather ones which used to soak up the rain pitches got thread bare in the goal mouth and became like a quagmire when it rained.What has changed?

Thom Roache City to go big for Varane or Umtiti to ensure that when Laporte is back we have the best CB pairing in world football?

Both french so would work perfectly

Pranav Shrestha Nepali Do u think we play better without Gundogan. Most of ( not all ) 3+ scores are without Gundogan in starting 11

Dillon Lymn Can we all agree Jesus gets in every starting 11 in the world except for Liverpool spurs and Bayern (and us because of Sergio)

Guardiola made nine changes from the team that beat Aston Villa on Saturday for this tie, but was still able to start strikers Gabriel Jesus and Aguero together for the first time this season.

There was also a senior debut for 18-year-old midfielder Tommy Doyle, a Manchester-born City fan who is the grandson of two club legends, Mike Doyle and Glyn Pardoe and, like Phil Foden, is a highly-rated graduate of the club's academy.

Doyle and Foden joined Bernardo Silva in a City midfield that completely dominated possession - seeing 89% of the ball at one stage - and had almost total control of a game often played at a walking pace.

FAN QUESTIONS

โ€ข Aditya Ramchandra Guardiola should give the likes of Garcia and Harwood-Bellis frequent starts in the first team given our defensive frailties, which have been laid bare in the recent weeks, against lesser teams I may add. Given the fact that Fernandinho and Otamendi arโ€ฆSee More

โ€ข Oussema Kelmemi Now that both Nico and stones are " fit", and considering their partnership has been far from perfect ( statisticly speaking) what it the best defensive line up we could use in your opinion?

โ€ข Nigel O Driscoll Who do you think will take over from Guardiola, will it be Arteta or could it be someone else in the Guardiola mold like Luis Enrique. Also do you expect Guardiola to extend his contract again with City or will he just see it out. Iโ€™d like you guys to discuss those questions if youโ€™ve not done before.

โ€ข

โ€ข Simon Maansen How can we improve the atmosphere at Etihad? Real suggestions which havent been tried yet.

โ€ข Muhammad Abdullah Rana Do City really need to sign a CB considering Laporte will be back in Jan most probably?

Patrick Blake Should we stop booing the champions league song and try excite and help the team into winning the competition?

โ€ข Neil Whittle Being friends with a Man United fan - is it contagious and is there a cure for them?

Taylor Harwood Bellis and Garcia to start?

Oussema Kelmemi

If we decided to go on a hunt for a center back in january, Would benfica's Ruben Dias be a good fit for our team? And if not what are the other options?

Hershi Silva Loki Oussema Kelmemi no, no thanks, Nathan Ake is ready made and would cost fraction of what Dias would cost, do you remember the lost time we got a defender from Portuguese league?

Ger Browne I'd like to hear a discussion on some City fans lack of interest in UCL. It divides a lot of fans.

CITY VS WOLVES

Champions Manchester City fell eight points behind Liverpool in the title race after suffering a shock home defeat against Wolves.

It is 20 years since Wolves last beat City away from Molineux

Manchester City have lost a Premier League match at Etihad Stadium without scoring for the first since March 2016 against Manchester United (0-1), with Manuel Pellegrini in charge.

Guardiola has a 25% win rate in all competitions against Nuno Espirito Santo (1/4) - of managers Guardiola has faced at least three times while in charge of Manchester City, only against Ronald Koeman (0%) and Jurgen Klopp (22%) does he have a worse win rate.

What's next?

Manchester City will look to get their faltering title bid back on track when they travel to Crystal Palace - one of the few teams to beat them last season - on 19 October

FAN QUESTIONS

Gearoid Hanrahan wants to discuss Lack of game time for Harwood bellis/ Eric Garcia

Theo Lawrance asks who are Realistic January signing?

I'm sure you all agree we'd a new CB since we currently only have 1 fit at the moment and he seems to be on a rough patch at the moment. Also, how long do you think it will be till we win the UCL?

Ste Hakin - I'd like a conversation about the very subtle differences between Fernandinho & Rodri. It's my belief that these differences are allowing us to have a soft centre. What can be done ?
