A very good win for City, away to Chelsea today and I can't see Arsenal slipping up at home tomorrow. All means a top 4 finish is becoming more and more unlikely. If we are honest we don't deserve it. We may win the FA Cup but the quicker a new manager comes in and starts building a real Utd side the better.

City where good today and have been for a week, can't see them dropping out the top 4.

They look so much a better team than a couple of weeks ago, a great example of 50m well spend on de bruyne . they look so much better with him in the team.

I posted on the other page, just shows what 1 good addition can do to a squad.

Its more than one good edition jred. Silva is back in good from after a run of games and aguero the same. Mangala and ottamendi seem to have also gotten a decent partner ship going. all is all a team that is coming into very good from at the right time of the year. I think Top 4 is gone now as they have some very easy games coming.

Rashford has been like a £50m signing for LVG in recent weeks - but the thing is he was 5th+ in the pecking order.
Just imagine where we would be had Martial been loaned out, or had been as slow to adapt as Depay and let's face it Depay was meant to be much further along than Martial experience wise.
We have had our own luck in those two and DDG staying for another season, but we have squandered it with others not pulling their weight (quite literally) .

Mangala is still poor .
Silva looks a better player once de bruyne takes rhe work load and target of him .
You can't just mark silva out the game if de bruyne is playing . Gives silva more space .
Augero its no surprise he looks a better player with silva AND de buryne playing .
No only do silva and de have more space (cant mark both ) they can both link with him supply more plus you can't mark all 3 .
It like a final bit in a jig saw .
It no surprise silva and augero are playing better.
In a 4 2 3 1 like city player if the forwards click the holding 2 can do there job and help the back 4 .
Its all a balance and that makes a good team.

No but that wasnt de buryne first game, its no surprise that liked gcu points out silva has found a bit of form now de buryne is back imo.
Nasri has also looked good after a long lay off.

That's what I was getting toward, Nasri. You forget that he can actually be a top player when he's bothered. But, yeah De Buryne really makes that team tick. You know you have a gem when the entire team plays better with one player.

Whilst having De Bruyne without a doubt has helped them tremendously he is a great player and very very intelligent.
I was just talking about players general fitness and sharpness after long injuries. They seem to be all back to being very sharp as a group after long lay offs and niggling injuries. Aguero looks a step faster and his menacing best.
