ARSI am a lifelong Manchester City fan and share my opinions on my wonderful club
Another Manchester City game, another competition. Initially, I thought the advantage went to Liverpool as they were eliminated in both domestic cup competitions, and that may still be the case. However, as a fan, I absolutely love the fact that we are competing on so many fronts; it brings so much excitement to every game, […]
Wow, that was relentless! Manchester City blew away Schalke with seven goals without reply. Schalke started the first half well and were defending with huge determination. However, Bernardo Silva won a penalty and Sergio Aguero converted with a cheeky chip. After the first goal went in Man City found their mojo and Raheem Sterling played […]
A big night at the Etihad awaits against Schalke as Man City look to progress to the quarter-finals. The first leg was a crazy game with VAR controversy and a sending off for Nicolas Otamendi, but Man City have a 3-2 advantage. Despite the three away goals it will not be an easy game, you […]
The first half was not vintage Man City. There were many chances missed, in particular by Sergio Aguero putting an easy header wide. The build up play was slow and very predictable as City passed the ball from side to side, eventually trying to force a ball over the top of the defence. However, Watford […]
This is one final push for Man City against a good Watford team. If City are able to win this game, then it is advantage Pep Guardiola and his men heading into the International break. Watford were thoroughly beaten by Liverpool last week and then won against another good side in Leicester. Therefore, those thinking […]
Despite the 1-0 result I thought Man City were excellent against a very well organised Bournemouth team. The first half was a story of utter Man City dominance with anything but a goal, Bournemouth defended as if their life depended on it and Nathan Ake was superb. Although, Nicolas Otamendi almost scored a goal of […]
The Premier League Champions go again against Bournemouth this Saturday. This season really has been relentless, but I am sure both the club and Pep Guardiola would have it no other way. The relentless fixture list does give City a week until their next game, therefore, I feel that it will be the strongest Man […]
This was not a vintage performance from Manchester City, but they have played a huge amount of football recently, so a tired performance is allowed. The first half started very very quickly and Man City should have scored at least twice. Riyad Mahrez was played through on goal by a lovely Ilkay Gundogan ball, but […]
A return to the Premier League for Manchester City awaits as they face West Ham United on Wednesday. It is also a warm return to the Etihad Stadium for Manuel Pellegrini, who has always spoken fondly of his time with City and I know that the majority of the fans love him too. The injury […]
Manchester City triumphed over Chelsea in the Carabao Cup final following a tightly-contested affair between the two sides. Just before I talk about the game, I have to mention the incident between Maurizio Sarri and Kepa Arrizabalaga. It was pure disrespect from the goalkeeper, refusing to come off, and I think everyone felt for the […]
An exciting cup final awaits Man City and Chelsea, yes that’s right I said an exciting cup final awaits both teams! The 6-0 result gets thrown out of the window as it was in a different competition and the rules change when it comes to any final. Maurizio Sarri will be looking for his players […]
This was an odd but exciting game for every football fan. However, perhaps not for the fans of VAR as I feel there were some dubious decisions made. City took the lead after capitalising on a lapse in concentration from the Schalke defence. The controversy came with the first Schalke penalty, Daniel Caligiuri launched a shot […]
