It’s official.
City Exclusives is now HandofCity.
This better reflects the direction we’re taking: exclusive moments, deeper analysis and proper takes, rather than just news.
Same account. New chapter.
Stay with us.
This whole Elliot Anderson as a No. 6 nonsense actually started with Thomas Tuchel. How are you able to misprofile a player who developed as a central/attacking mid into a DM? How do you waste this much attacking talent by playing him in front of the defence?
Liverpool were so good in their prime that they actually stopped City from winning 7 Premier League titles in a row. Now I understand why football fand respect Klopp👇
Manchester City wingers’ goals this season:
2 – Semenyo
1 – Doku
1 – Allan
0 – Ndiaye
This isn’t just a finishing issue. Maresca has them pinned high and wide, so they often have to beat 3-4 players before they even reach a dangerous area. Until the structure changes, the wide players will continue to struggle.
Manchester United are absolutely delusional if they think they can land an elite manager. They can’t even afford the transfer demands of elite managers who actually want to win trophies. Managers like Eddie Howe are a perfect match for them. Those kinds of managers can make do with little to no resources.
That is their level.
Hey @grok, my son just asked how Manchester City managed to win 7 Premier League titles in 8 seasons. Honestly, I'm struggling to explain it myself. How do I even begin?
Worst moments as a City fan.
1. Losing to Chelsea in 2021 UCL final.
2. Choking vs real madrid in 2022 UCL semis.
3. Sterling's dagger being offside vs Tottenham in 2019 UCL quarters.
4. Pep Guardiola’s departure last season.
5. The whole of the 24/25 season.
HM: Kevin De Bruyne leaving, Enzo Fernández joining this club and inheriting KDB's no 17 jersey.
I can take an insult from anyone, but the one insult I cannot take is Chelsea and Manchester United fans calling me a cheat.
Manchester United’s era under Sir Alex Ferguson was filled with trophies won through a lot of controversial refereeing and heavy influence on the field. No wonder they haven’t been able to win anything significant since Fergie’s departure and the introduction of VAR.
Chelsea Football Club also clearly broke the rules, which is the only way they were able to get where they are now. Just because the Premier League was more lenient towards them makes them think they never cheated in the first place.
This is the clear hypocrisy of football fans that really baffles me.
