In fairness Doc has a point. West Brom twice already this season, managed at the time by Mr. Negative himself Tony Pulis, have exposed chinks at the back but every other team seem to scared to attack them

How can I ever be racist to him. He's ranked as one of the greatest players to ever play on English soil alongside Bobby Moore, George Best and Gary Lineker (this is a true story btw, no sarcasm or anything)

Ripped to shreds, never mind the 7 goals put in against them, simple fact is if you attack City they will kill you on the counter, head and shoulders above anyone in the league at the moment, great to watch

While city dominated the ball and deserved to win they were nearly punished for not finishing them off, had Lukaku taken that easy chance. Bit like the first half when they took a lead but then fell asleep and didn’t capitalise on all the possession. One slight complaint is that recently City’s strikers haven’t been scoring many.
Should be league over now, best team in the league by miles |

Ah heor. Team's can't get the ball off them to attack them - and even when they do they instantly have every outfield Man City player pressuring them relentlessly until they force a mistake or win back possession. Teams are not 'too afraid' to attack them - it is just extremely hard to do against a well drilled Guardiola side.

Find city hard to watch myself, peps obsession with dominating possession makes games a bit boring I find, unless you're a city fan i suppose, personally I have no interest in watching one team completely domiante the other, just doesn't make for a good spectacle.
For all their possession, how many chances did they actually create? Same reason I never really enjoyed watching his barca teams |

Sterling/Jesus/Sane all had decent first half chances, they had a bucket load in the latter stages of the match too

Which is that MU were more concerned with denying City chances than creating their own. Which is fair enough if you were a "lesser" team but would concern me if I were a MU fan. For this was a home game which MU had to win if they were to maintain a realistic hope of winning the League. And it is Jose's second season in charge, meaning he has been given the time and money he needs to get his team playing his way. Yet rather than saying: "This is who we are and this is how we play, so let's both go for it and may the better team win", Jose chose City's 'house style' as the starting point to determine his own selection and tactics. And the only way you can really justify that at a big club like MU is if you win. And they never really looked like doing that, did they? Or to put it another way, before the game, most City fans would have taken a draw. But by the end of the game, most would have been disappointed with a draw. Meanwhile, Pep was thinking only of the win, before, during and after.

I have an interest in them. If you look back over the Barca thread I have said the same thing about them when he was in charge. For me, an exciting game is when two teams play their part, peps obsession with possession just doesn't allow this to happen. Absolutley fine if you're a fan of them, but as a neutral I don't enjoy watching games they play in., it's just constant one way traffic |

I acknowledge their excellence, I just don't enjoy watching a one sided game if it's not my team that's dominating. I have no problem with how he wants his team to play, and that's fine if you're happy to sit back and enjoy watching his team play, but i don't think it creats a great or exciting game of football. |

So teams can't attack them except if you're West Brom? Is that what you're saying? WBA should of beaten them not once but twice already but for terrible finishing. The 2nd time round should of unlocked the blueprint on how the defeat city but teams are so psychologically scared they just roll over from the first whistle
