A case for 4-4-2 against Real Madrid

Following a four-goal thrashing of Stoke at the weekend, City seem to have silenced the critics in regards to their poor league form.

The number 10 problem City face after De Bruyne’s injury

The comeback win over Everton was an example of just how lethal City can be when they play to their strengths. Giving Aguero help up top and being efficient and quick in possession down the middle of the field led to a plethora of chances. The blues are entering a season-defining run of games, and […]

Match Preview: Keys to success against West Ham

It was the loss to West Ham that began the poor run of form City faced in the first half of the season, but it should be against West Ham that we see the boys kick on from and put together a run of wins. Last time out they pressed hard and fast, exposing some […]

What signings could take City to the next level?

Manchester City have been linked to a plethora of players for both this January transfer window and the summer transfer window.

With Vincent Kompany set to be sidelined for the majority of the second half of the season, City are faced with a difficult decision; play Mangala and hope he can string together consistent performances, or look to the transfer market.  Pellegrini has stated that although the injury isn’t what he would have expected to hear, […]

In my last article, I talked about the formation and tactical changes that Pellegrini could make in order to better suit the players. However, no matter how insightful my analysis may be, Pellegrini and the City coaching staff probably aren’t reading my articles. That being said, who can City bring in to better suit the […]
