  • Guardiola has no tactical idea, but he is a master of transfers.

  • @Marcraft I’d say it’s more that he doesn’t give a singular f*** about how fun his team is to watch. Easily the most boring top team, but the fact is for the players he has, their plan A is pretty much guaranteed points. That said, the second the opposition grow a pair and fight fire with fire, they always look exceptionally vulnerable.

  • @Marcraft his latest transfers aren`t too good to be fair

  • @Marcraft actually it is all structure who deal with that, but one of the crucial people has just went to Man Utd.

  • Pep Guardiola has confirmed Manchester City striker Erling Haaland is fit to start against Brentford on Monday night.

  • if the robot and KDB both start...there'll be 3-4 goal contributions between them....heh heh heh...the robot seemed from the last match to have forgotten how to score...hence...hattrick here...hahaha...

  • At last some decent performance from Gvardiol.

  • haaland and toney to score

  • BTTS! Over 1.5 1H! How do sportsbooks make money?

  • Less than two goals

  • Ivan Toney +280 / Haaland -140 / Alvarez +115 To Score Anytime

  • :D...Doku will come on as a sub to add to Brentford's misery....

  • @AramisMick No.

  • EVERY site is predicting a high scoring game so Man City 1-0.

  • @Oversonly Nevermind I lose again while public always wins.

  • Guardiola's pupil Arteta opted for a defensive game plan leading to 1-0 against Brentford. I think this is more than ridiculous!

  • Now Guardiola has a fully fit squad to chose from. I wonder if he will opt for attacking football, or he will choose a coward defensive type of game plan as usual (no goal in the first half)????

  • @Zoltan No mate...Pep's style is to go 1 goal down at half time, then come out and score 3-4 in the 2nd half.... :p

  • @Zoltan Bro never watched City, Guardiola never goes full Mourinho

  • 1-4 Man City

  • Some of the Spanish media saying MC will be relegated in the summer due to the 115 financial fair play rule breaches.They also say Haaland wants to leave already.

  • @Marbella suspect it's fake news mate...the authorities are unlikely to action on the club so quickly...plus they'd want the robot in Spain...so it fits their narrative....

  • Man City have kept just 2 away EPL clean sheets this season.
