I'm pretty sure we don't have the record for successive away wins in all comps - that link has us at 11 away wins in all comps (the run we're on at the moment) but I think Arsenal won 12 away on the bounce in 2013.

Possible reason: safety net for injuries / squad depth and/or as you mentioned familiarity with Pep's style. Plus, if Sanchez comes on a free, or a significantly reduced price, then it's a no-brainer considering Pep wants to win on all comps.I don’t get why theyre in for Sanchez when Sterling and Sane have both been solid and Bernardo Silva hasn’t even seen much match time not to mention the lack of playing time Phil Foden will get. I feel like this signing would disrupt their current tactics as Sanchez is a player who loves the ball at his feet, so he’ll take a while perhaps to bed in — yes I know he played under Pep, but still, Pep’s tactics have evolved.
Foden and Bernardo are both midfielder were as Sanchez is a winger/forward. I don't think Pep predicted that Sterling and Sane would score as many goals as they have (they have combined 20 goals + 10 or so assists in 20 games in all competition this season). Sanchez can play almost anywhere in the forward line either wings or striker, which gives him options. Sane/Sterling will also need competition as well as rest eventually. Sanchez is either going to be free or cost them 20-30M.I don’t get why theyre in for Sanchez when Sterling and Sane have both been solid and Bernardo Silva hasn’t even seen much match time not to mention the lack of playing time Phil Foden will get.

There's more to it than that - it showed major character, the type you'd see from champions. Their quality is fine, they have too much talent in their squad.Why? Its a good sign that they have to work harder and harder for results.
A game where they relied on Southampton to miss sitters then need an OG to open them up plus a 96 minute wonder goal?
Im sorry but its November, maybe if this were the run in when you tick games off but you can't use tonight as a basis to claim the league is over now.
If they get the 12th I'd put money on us ending their run.11 wins in a row,impressive.
Expect that to go to 12 once they dispose of West Ham.
Rubbish, they were doing the same. How many aimless crosses did Walker and KDB try putting in. The only player in their whole team who didn't panic punt the ball into the box was Sterling who played off KDB. He's saved their season multiple times this season and it looks like he's back to his Liverpool form which is extremely annoying.Only team in the league capable of building an attack in the 95th minute with no rush and panic. Every other team would have thrown structure out of the window, and would've hoofed the ball into the box hoping something might come off it.
Disgraceful behaviour.
Did you watch the last 15 minutes? Because it was literally just De Bruyne and Walker hoofing aimless balls in to get cleared.Only team in the league capable of building an attack in the 95th minute with no rush and panic. Every other team would have thrown structure out of the window, and would've hoofed the ball into the box hoping something might come off it.
He’s thoroughly unlikable.
Yeah, every team barring Chelsea and Liverpool, neither of whom rely on long-balls into the box. You could make a case for Arsenal and Tottenham too.Only team in the league capable of building an attack in the 95th minute with no rush and panic. Every other team would have thrown structure out of the window, and would've hoofed the ball into the box hoping something might come off it.
“If that was Jose...” etc.
What's that all about?
What's his problem the bald cnut?
is that 3 times hands on him?
What was all that about ?
hes better. I felt he was a bit carried by Suarez and was more a side act. Here he seems to be happy to taking responsibility and his goal tally is far far betterRubbish, they were doing the same.

I wont read too much into it but I want to see how Pep handles defeat this season. They were just not good today. I can see Jose getting under the skin of Pep. Imagine after wins like this and yet Jose somehow pips him for the league.Disgraceful behaviour.
They're actually on 12 in a row now. So if they beat West Ham they'll match the consecutive win record. They'll break it if they beat us.11 wins in a row,impressive.

class act
I sure hope so, but I don't see it. This City team is reminding me of our last title win. Even if they don't win it on ability, they'll win it on desire.@Womp
Thats all cliches though, we have to judge sides on performances at this stage and through character or not have underperformed and used a get out of jail free card.
We have to treat Utd and City the same way, we criticise Utd after 4-1 wins yet City have lacked that little spark that destroyed sides earlier yet are lauded for their character in a game where we would be destroyed if we did the same.
They're losing their sharpness in front of goal and really seem to miss Stones at the back. Thats the tangible factors that can be analysed.
Plus Sterling has the mentality of a winner.
