Premier League 2017/18: Matchday 34

What if, god forbid, they win the champions league?

Then my friend, Klopp becomes a new level of manager. An elite level.

To his credit, he came very close before with Dortmund, which is testament to his great quality.

Is Gabriel Jesus really that much of a promising youngster? Seems a bit overhyped to me.

Don’t see an Aguero level striker in him anyway.

I got a bit carried away because of the numbers he was producing but I think he's still promising.

Not up there with Mbappe and Dembele but definitely a talent. Real eye for goal, fast, strong, tenacious and has intelligent movement too.

He hasn't even showcased his dribbling ability since arriving in England. If he can use that to start creating shooting opportunities then he'll be an elite striker imo.

Not really, he developed and moulded Henry, Vieira, Anelka, Fabregas, Van Persie, Cole, Toure all of which will be light years ahead of whatever that piece of shít amounts to.
Even someone like Adebayor when he first turned up looked like Emile Heskey on rollerskates, Wenger somehow managed to turn him into a 30 goal striker (before a combination of his own ego and Mark Hughes sent him back down the toilet again).

If anything Wenger's failing was spending too long trying to develop many of these pampered idiots, not giving up sooner.

Sorry I forgot to clarify I meant recently.

That might just be down to shopping in the bargain bucket though.

Yeah fair enough, although I do think quite a bit of it is down to wasting time trying to develop players who absolutely no one could have taken to top level.
The best teacher in the world isn't going to be able to turn a fúckwit into a PhD.

City with 1040 passes. Not saying i'm a friend of this but this is impressive.

They were stat padding for majority of the game. Worse stat padding than our 60% possession games.

Swansea were out of the game from the off and did very little pressing. The scoreline doesn't fully reflect the match, could have ended 6/7-0 if City didn't just pass around.

 

[Vinci]

The small teams are just going to City now hoping to avoid total embarrassment. 1-0 or 2-0 loss is great for them, 3 or 4 is acceptable even, they just don't want to be destroyed by 5, 6 or 7 goals.
