He couldn't turn it down - it gave him the opportunity to make his reputation.

Now that he has done so, going back with the club in the state it's in could see him break it again.

If nothing else, he wouldn't be inheriting a 21 y.o. Lionel Messi this time round.

Two almost identical fouls early in the game today, sterling stayed on his feet and no free given, mane goes to ground penalty 

Seems you have to go down these days to get it 

Ran on a few steps and went down when he’d lost possession (probably due to being fouled)

Agree on both penalties 

Poor start to the season overall from City, one defeat and three draws, and have only beaten one team by more than a goal 

Yeah they are still in it and considering Aguero , Jesus and others have been out they have done well to stay close. 

With so many games in a shortened season this will be an unusual season - I don’t think any team will be getting 90+ points.

Teams not in Europe have a great chance of doing well. 

I’d f**k marhez out of the club....he’s done nothing since he arrived and was at fault for the second goal.city could of been there till Christmas Day and not scored,Jose did a right number on us.its games like this that I question pep...no plan b at all,teams have us Sussedfrom last season and still he persists with same game plan.some of the players last night should be ashamed of there performances that and the slowness of city’s play cost the game.ive been saying it for last two seasons we need a mobile,box to box defensive midfielder and a tall physical striker that can hold up the play,get us up the pitch and bring others into play...but no,we spend more than some small countries on their military on center half’s and left fulls.
