GWT: PL Matchweek 37

[koyvoo]

And Liverpool is going to lose the league title having lost just 1 game in the entire season

 

[Machinehead]

City are about to end the season on a 14 game winning streak to nick the title.

To put that in perspective...until last season that was the all time record winning streak in the PL.



What a team.

The entire 38 game campaign is going to come down to when they met at the Etihad. What can you do?

 

[S E P H]

You said "babies can seriously manager them to a Ligue 1 title." and yet somehow Emery failed to do that in his first year.

I am trying to base this off of just memory, but wasn't that when Monaco had their strongest team ever?

 

[Machinehead]

City haven't been themselves for awhile either (neither have we to be fair) but they just find a way.

 

[hatterson]

What a chance for Iheanacho

 

[YNWA14]

Iheanacho why

 

[YNWA14]

Kelechi still a City supporter.

 

[Burner Account]

that wasn't remotely close

 

[hatterson]

Another clear yellow that should have been issued to Sterling.

 

[YEM]

that wasn't remotely close

he missed the goal by more yards than he was to the goal
amazing

 

[YNWA14]

Sterling should have had a yellow there.

 

[Live in the Now]

Iheanacho is absolute trash. Can only laugh really.

 

[hatterson]

Jesus is a joke of a player.

 

[Halladay]

They is why City got rid of him.

 

[hatterson]

Hey Silva finally goes off. Except it's for a sub and not for the red card he deserved.

 

[YNWA14]

Yep. Iheanacho is playing for City.

 

[Evilo]

Winning titles with PSG is so easy in this modern version of Ligue 1, it is hardly an accomplishment as babies can seriously manager them to a Ligue 1 title. Meaning that half of Blanc's amazing resume is already a non-factor. If that's the case, we then have to compare the manager's Europe record which is much more meaningful for a team like PSG.

True that Blanc has gone further than Emery, but both ultimately failed to reach their goal of a CL title. Just going a round or two in a tournament where we've seen upsets all the time isn't that crazy. For the record I am not calling Emery a good manager, but I am super puzzled that people would randomly take a manager who you can argue has had less success in a heartbeat.

Really?
How much titles did Tuchel win this year? 1. Out of 3.
Blanc is 9 out of 9.

There's no random. Blanc had excellent results, even in the CL with Bordeaux, topping a CL group with Bayern and Juventus. How many managers have achieved that?
And of course, there's the eye test. Blanc's teams are extremely recognizable. Few coaches print their mark on their team's play so much. Guardiola, Klopp, Bielsa (offensively for instance), Simeone, Allegri, Mourinho (defensively for instance) and Blanc. That's it.
Just by seeing a team coached by Blanc, you know who the coach is.

The only doubt I have over Blanc is whether he will be able to replicate his coaching without his assistant coach, who's now boss at St Etienne, Gasset.

 

[koyvoo]

C’mon Brighton!

 

[Burner Account]

Yep. Iheanacho is playing for City.

I cannot believe a professional player missed that badly

 

[Machinehead]

C’mon Brighton!

We need them to QPR without the QPR.

 

[Live in the Now]

Brendan Rodgers was never my friend.

 

[YNWA14]

City are not dropping points to Brighton. Especially after a game like this.

It is what it is.

 

[Burner Account]

Brendan Rodgers was never my friend.

Who?

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

That Kompany goal is gonna go down in history, holy heck

 

[Machinehead]

We have by far the tougher game Sunday. It's over.

Play our cards right and we should have more than another chance at this.
