back lift required just like Messi and
Aguero (having a low centre of gravity plays a role as well) Sanchez is also not injury prone so any team he plays for will see him play a minimum of 30 league games per season despite his very high work rate.
but no way are gibbs and monreal top top class... so the talking heads are right... same as it ever was same as it ever was... still need a DM attacking option and world class left
back... kondogbia will do rodriguez or damine on left... most difficult is attack personally not interested in higuan cavani martinez all over rated and overpriced... benzema better for us but also way over priced... lacazette might work but expensive vietto or younger option in
aguero mould more likely
Take a look the second goal, Monreal was left exposed by the two centre

back of a backpedaling defender but honestly the officiating across the whole league this year has been an embarrassment to professional officials of all sports its been bad game after game they need a real looking after and more training in off season

Aguero do that yesterday.Otherwise mancity bought the league already we are just playing for our top sponsors
