Barca press, but in the PL you have a whole bunch of teams giving you a high intensity scrappy game.

City manages due to playing with high intensity, having superb ball control which means they can handle pressure while maintaining their passing game, and basically having better players than most in the league. It also helps that Baldy has them coached very well as a unit.
Are you watching the Liverpool game? A Liverpool defender gifted the ball to a BHA player just outside the 'pool box, the guy had acres of space to drive into the box, but the guy passed it backwards towards the centre line. So many teams do that in the PL it's depressing to watch at times. It's like they're pre programmed to pass backwards or sideways. I don't think it's an intensity thing, it's just poor football culture. The problem with La Liga is just that 2 teams are too far ahead of everyone else

Got a nasty feeling Liverpool will be level on points with us by end of next weekend.

From here to there
Yet another side who cannot understand the concept of frustrating Liverpool for the first half and only then going for the win.

Yet another side who let them score a quick second goal to essentially secure the game early on. How fecking incompetent are these coaches?

Already? They have most of a season ahead of them yet.
3 game in 7 days with two intense performances before today.
My mate has a Spurs minus 1 and Liverpool minus 1 because of that very reason, he actually has a chance of it coming up now

That easy eh?

It's one thing knowing it and another actually executing it. I'm sure PL level coaches have forgot more about football than we'll ever know.
