    Pep made Messi look good though, with his brand of possession football. Ticky tacky or whatever it's called.

You don't find a budget KDB for example.. but you can replicate the style. They probably wouldn't be knocking on Europe's door but I don't think they would go down.
    The point being where do you find players close to the work rate or style of play on the cheap? That would rely upon pure man management skills. If you can save anyone £50m on a Kyle Walker when you can raise up existing squad players, any chairman regardless of wealth would love you.

    I don't see any Man City youth academy players making the grade there for a long time.

    I didn't watch man city v Chelsea rather watched barca v atletico and lo and behold the little man produced more magic again

    Its the teams they are playing that make Man City "boring". They're boring because they win every week, but they're greatly helped by the attitude of so many of the teams they play. Chelsea seemed to think that a one goal defeat wasn't a bad result because it didn't do their goal difference any great harm in the attempt to finish in the top four - they were the reason today's game was such poor entertainment.

    My point being you can play the same way with cheaper players.

    I'm not attempting to say you will find the new Kyle walker for 3 million quid or whatever.. but rather you would looknfor a RB with high/high work rates so you could instruct him the same way...

    I see the same seventeen year old Pep gives some game time to most weeks played for another five minutes or so today - I'm sure he'll start a few games for them once the title is won.

    Don't bother with ccfc is my life because he's the master of goal post moving. The thread was about man city's play being pointless

    Pointless Amazing the dross that is spouted on here, especially when those claiming Man City are boring or pointless are the same ones defending Warnock's brand of rugby. Sorry football.

    Man City are 18 points clear, and they are likely to be physically impossible to catch in 3 games. Man U can get to 89 points by winning all their remaining games, meaning Man City are 11 points behind with 10 games to play.

    Both, Chelsea should have had a go but Man City weer just keeping it for possession's sake at times rather than going at them. 902 passes from Man City but only 3 shots on target in the whole game

    BIt of both really - Chelsea not good enough to get the ball off them and them not prepared to open the game up once they were in front (don’t blame them but it was painful to watch - I do agree that it was more to do with Chelsea’s inadequacies though

    I can't recall then spending £50m on a right back then whining they have a budget to work to!
    Man United spent 31 million on Luke Shaw in 2014 which would have equated to 50 million in today's market and he can't even get near the team ffs.
    They also spent good money on Bailley and Lindelhof and he's shit!

    True, although people rarely debate my posts. They just get personal - which is fine by me because it means that my points are hitting home, and can't be argued against.

    902 completed passes for Man City today- a new record.
    Could they be cautioned for time wasting if theyre just passing it across the back 3 all game?

    A knob end has uses, a steaming pile of shit doesn't.

    It's up to the opposition to stop that, isn't it?
