City don't have players that get me off the edge of my seat but they are well drilled and functional and for that you have to give credit.
Premier League Gameweek 27 (10th - 12th February 2018)

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?
Aguero has always been a beast for them. I hate the smugness on all of their faces. Game raising twats need to raise their games against City instead of going into hiding.
Do they really have that many better players than ourselves? If you do think that way, out of interest which ones are you thinking of?
Yep. I'd take a 28 year old Aguero over a currently 24 y/o Harry Kane.
He has a decent season overall, not great but decent. Still disappointing to see him that far away in goal scoring record.
By September I was expecting him to land +35 goals overall, now will be lucky to hit 26-27 in all competition.
Aguero will retire a City legend and something about that is kinda sad to me, a player of that quality should have had bigger clubs in his resume, though i'm sure he's happy with the titles he's won
all those players are of a much higher quality
Really? I'd take Kane over Aguero tbh.
Not sure all their players are better than ours, think they as someone said well drilled and know exactly how to play to their system.
Gonna be such a wankfest on MOTD.

Why? Kane is younger, already better and suits us down to a T.
Yeah, I think he's been outstanding through-out his career. Only downside is the annual injury time.
Troopz is on?
Almost.
I thought Salah was going to be the league’s top scorer earlier in the season, but Kane and Aguero have been relentless.
I just worked out that Lukaku has got 5 league goals since the end of September. Including February, that's a goal a month since then. He got 7 in his first month and a half here
Well that's just silly.
There's not much in it IMV, just think he's been the best striker in the league since he joined City.
Maybe I’m talking shite, but I was just reflecting on what I saw on the pitch. The difference in intensity really was striking, couldn’t believe my eyes. Thought maybe it was fatigue, after the United/Pool matches. But that obviously wasn’t the case seeying their second half performance after a hairdryer from Pochettino.

de Bruyne is illegal, just illegal. Single-handed the win to City in 5 minutes.
Regarding the other games, Swansea have completely changed the tune after appointing Carvajal. Would have never thought of this.

Same,
24yo Aguero > 24yo Kane though.
He's lost a yard and his dribbling/all round game is much worse now, still a phenomenal goal scorer though.
The league's top talent usually is.
So you were perfectly fine when we sold Di Maria.?
De Bruyne is good no doubt, but better than de Gea, no not for me.
Completely agree with this. No idea why he hasn’t sought a move to a bigger stage but I suppose he’s happy with the money.
Of all the opinions you have this isn't the most ludicrous one.
DDG is rightly highly rated but perhaps a tad underrated when it comes to receiving major awards for the sheer impact he has. Although it's the nature of the beast with these things, they're geared towards attacking players.
These cnuts have broke the league.
Because attacking players tend to have more impact.
Sure, but there's a way to go about praising a rival player I don't think we're doing it the right way.
Why is saying that the best keeper in the world is the best player in the league worthy of a laugh emoticon?feck off.
You have to be Lingard.
Out of interest what more would Dave have to do to be eligible for the award in your opinion then?
He has the most clean sheets in the league, has saved us on numerous occasions by his brilliance, (most noteworthy away at Arsenal) so not sure what more you could ask of him??
Well, there's the proof that commentators know nothing.
You can see the way his body is after the header he was aiming the other way and the hall hit the side of his head.
Goals win you games, a goalkeeper might stop you losing. It is about winning.
Not sure how seriously I take RedRom but is it seriously that laughable that DDG might be better than KDB relative to positions? I'm not saying who's better but it's not that outlandish to suggest it either way.feck off
You have to be Lingard.
And you tend to win more games the more clean sheets you have.
Unless what you are saying is that a goalkeeper could never win an award?
Both are WC in their respective positions. But KDB has a bigger impact for his team and is enjoying a more successfull campaign.
KDB isn't just about passes, he is also crucial for their pressing and positional game.
If KdB doesn’t do that for you, I guess you need some Specsavers as you Brita say. They don’t have a Hazard or Messi, but few teams do.
One is the best in the world in his position, whilst one is only up there with the very best, a big difference there, hence why it surely is fine to suggest the best player in ones position in the world, should be up for such an award?
If not, I would really be interested in knowing what more Dave would have to do to be in with a chance of winning such awards?
They could, but why has Buffon never won the top awards? Goalkeeping just isn't a very sexy position.
They rarely deserve the award.
