Perhaps it is me but Grealish, Doku, and Savinho, all seem to have wonderful quick feet but don't deliver enough end product to go with their outstanding talent. Is that down to Pep and his tactics.

Doku's most productive season (13 goals/assists) is under Pep, prior to that, the most he managed was 8.

Savinho is just 20 and in his first season in the PL

Grealish, I think was changed for the worse by Pep or it could just be that he is a player that needs to be a big fish in a small pond.

tactics for me. Pep’s style. No coincidence all these previously direct dribbler type players are all suffering from end product

I feel Grealish absolutely has been ruined by Pep. He has shown in flashes for England what he really can do with the ball but never does any more for City.

Still their title to lose despite this patch. They’ve been further behind the top before and that’s after a January transfer window. If they still have all these injuries then they’ll just buy a couple of players to push on.

Whilst it’s very funny to see them lose, they’ll turn it around, they always do.

They’re not normally without Rodri for so long though. Can’t believe what a difference he makes.
 

For the love of Spurs

Greliash offers fantastic ball protection which helps them defensively as they don’t lose the ball high so often, he also draws defenders creating space for other attackers. Doku and Savinho are important in order to break down a set defence but their final ball is often poor. City have someone who can beat players but also has a good final ball, his name is Bobb but he got injured at the start of the season.

Grealish has only ever got into double figures for assists once in his whole career in the PL. He got 10 in season 20-21, and 7 in 22-23. 8 goals is his best return in season 19-20.

Four of Manchester City’s main rivals have lodged legal notices reserving the right to seek compensation if the club are found guilty of serious charges among the 115 alleged breaches of Premier League financial rules.

Manchester United, Liverpool, Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur have taken the step of formally registering possible compensation claims via arbitration before a potential statute of limitations deadline last week, sources have told The Times. The clubs involved all declined to comment.

The charges against City are still being heard by an independent regulatory commission, with the outcome not expected until the new year. The commission can make an order for compensation to be paid but it is understood that, because of laws around time limits to register such claims, there was (thats all you get for free i guess)

Good. We won’t be the only ones. This is what the PL want as it moves away from them having to make any decisions. The amount they can be sued for is unlimited. I suspect they’ll be a joint action in the end from all the other PL clubs for loss of earnings over the period.

What will be interesting is to see how teams that got relegated from 08/09 when they got taken over react, it’s not just the top end clubs that have been affected by their cheating.
Seventeen of them in total: Wigan, Stoke, Bolton, pompey, Blackburn, Sunderland, hull, boro, wba, Swansea, Norwich, Watford, Luton, qpr, Huddersfield, Cardiff and sheff u will all be watching very closely I’m sure.
You could also throw in any lower league teams who got knocked out of any domestic cups as well.
