In a one off game maybe, but no one is getting anywhere near this City team over the course of the season.

Let's see how they do over Christmas, I have a feeling a few of their star players will down tools, their form over this period has been awful in recent seasons.

It will only take for City to be on the end of one bad result and I can see them mentally flaking.

We'll see. They've got momentum now, and we've seen with Leicester and Cheslea how important that can be. City are also much better than either of those two teams.

Problem is the majority of other teams in this league aren't financially doped to the point it becomes impossible to win games against them.

I really have nothing against City fans, it's not their fault their team got oil money rich but the truth is, I just don't see why neutrals love City so much, they are everything that is wrong with modern football.

Very easy to spend money badly. They have recruited wisely.

And its never all about the money. You don't play such great football without great coaching. Guardiola deserves the plaudits.

What has Guardiola done to deserve plaudits? Every club he has been at either already had world class talents in the team or has been Financially doped to the eyeballs.

He spent £300m on transfers, that's not good coaching, that's throwing money at a problem until it's fixed.

Poch, now THAT is good coaching, taking a bunch of homegrown players and talent and turning them into players who can beat Real Madrid, could Pep do that? I doubt it very much

Yeah unfortunately I think you're right based games so far. Nobody except Chelsea so far seems to have bothered to set up tactically right against them. Arsenal definitely didn't today. We would though. But we could beat them Twice this season and they'd still win the league by 10 points.

Hate Chelsea but I.hope they beat United.

Sick of the site of fucking Mourinho and his negative football having spent zillions, and that expression of his like he's always been hard done by.

Draw would be good, United losing even better imo.

While that’s true, he is a good manager. That too, is a product of financial doping. There is no way in a million years, pep would go anywhere near City without the guaranty of have unlimited funds.

We need their Christmas party turn into a massive punch up resulting in them all falling out or something like that.

City were impressive, but pretty fortunate with 2 of their goals.

They play good football in the same way that when someone goes out and spends £300 on players for Fifa ultimate team would also play good football lol.

It's like having cheat mode on in football manager.

He's only got one season left on is contact too. He doesn't strike me as the type of guy to stay around forever.
