As a City fan can say, Klopps Liverpool was the biggest threat guardiola faced in his entire EPL career
As a football fan no one cares what someone who started watching football 3 years ago thinks
@@mattbyrne8202 it does matter when you started , the city fan is right ,and its a fact ,we have city fan older than you boy
Does Craig not know what Rivals are?
Everton is nowhere near Liverpool in terms of quality yet THEY ARE STILL RIVALS
Rivals for what?
@@user-ne1kp8yo8n history rivals, why r u acting stupid
It’s a Derby but they are not rivals In terms of what they play for
Craig is a big head hater. Pep definitely gets the best manager of the year if City gets the double.
Craig has a point as well, yes everton and spurs consider themselves rivals due to proximity to their big neighbors, but pool and arsenal fans really don't consider the other a rival as such!
As a city fan uni emery deserve manager of the season
Their defense is not as cohesive as last season so some of these weaknesses can be exploited. Whether or not the attackers of their opponents capitalize on that is another matter altogether, and being wasteful against City would sure be punished.
main thing is dias is not as good as he was last season and stones has been injured for a lot of the season the rest of the defense is as good if not a bit better than last season but dias is the main man without him performing well the backline is just not the same
Arsenal got 4 pts from two games vs City. Does Arteta/Arsenal regret not 'going for it' at the Etihad? NO! Stop asking these stupid questions. If Arsenal regrets ANYTHING this season, it should be losing twice to Villa - they should've won at least the home match but failed. You lose the title across the season and dropping pts vs teams below you, not when you face your challengers.
It's not a stupid question. They had a chance to beat a weaker City side and didn't go for it
@@dranthony1882 the same muppets who blame Arsenal for "not going for it" are the same pricks who would've complained Arsenal were stupid had they committed players forward and lost 3-0.
Hindsight is a wonderful thing but it's stupid to say, "well they should've gone for it vs the best team in England and probably Europe" while simultaneously losing to weaker opposition earlier in the season.
City had major injuries, played terribly and most predicted Arsenal to win by more than 2...
That was a crucial match for them and they failed while city stalking from behind with more matches to play.
Win vs City and they literally knock City out of the title race due to the point gap. That draw close up the gap between City-Arsenal-Liverpool and made City smell blood in the water
Spurs fans celebrating Man City wins was crazy 💀💀
People will clown on spurs, but at the end of the day, theyll finish the season with the same amount of trophies as arsenal
They are not even real fans
Because real fans would never want
There team to lose
only 3 points better than last year that is a trophy for Spurs fans
They're more rooting for Arsenal not to win the league
@@jaziejay1 you are bitter 😂🤣
Espn extra time rocks
Am Arsenal fan but man city should start wining champions league not premier league because in England City is the best of all other teams in premier league
The worst is city has not been good this year look at where there are next year they will definitely improve defensive they will win the league next season
Haters barking like 115 charges, 115 charges 😂😂😂
Let them cry hahah
Craig has a really short memory. Spurs finished above Arsenal two seasons ago, keeping them out of the Champions League. They also finished above them the season before that. And the season before that. And the season before that. And the season before that. And the season before that.
Ahh the spurs glory days of finishing above arsenal. What a time to be alive
You're making Craig's point, the goal of Arsenal or say Liverpool is not to finish above Everton or Spurs, but for Everton or Spurs finishing above their neighbors is considered a good season, he's just saying they're on a different level, in different class, and he has a point! They're only considered rivals by some because of proximity, but not for titles.
@@King13979 Lmao don't sit there and put Arsenal in the same bracket as Liverpool, or Spurs in the same bracket as Everton. Arsenal have not won the league in 20 years. They are not an elite team, they are not one of the big dogs. They're a nearly team, much like Spurs. They'll probably finish fourth next season are return to the mean.
You Muppet That so called Bad Arsenal Team Have Won 4 Fa Cups in That Period You Fool......
@@Nemophilist850 okay buddy. Liverpool currently have 1 premier league. Arsenal have 3
Craig at the end mad about his friends or coworkers going on holiday aka vacation lol
2:27 "agrriur%/>yudyey" 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Of course we have weaknesses. Did they watch the match?
Not really. Pep is a master genius
115... But who cares...the Premier League don't
@@sf5912😂😂😂😂😂. Are you sure you dont care?
@@lizbetkasape447 yes because I don't work in football or the media and am in not in bed with the filthy money!
@@sf5912We got a saint over here. Not only that but a saint lawyer and/or financial expert 😂 Go away kid
these guys must be bored. coming to studio knowing the verdict of a city win year after year 😂😂
They also wrote City off from their chances of winning the league a month ago. This happens every year. 😂
Yes. Akanji's concentration atimes, the fact they don't cross the ball more, for a team that has a tall, big and strong striker.
Well they can do with better Defending
Akanji had Pep laying on the ground
Akanji has had a great season tho
Congratulations Man City 4 in a row is unbelievable
I agree with Craig on the Manager of the season
A super fast center with a world class or already world class center back (like van de ven but not injury prone) Rodri backup and a upgrade to kovacic (deep playmaker like Guimaraes or Kimmich), a playmaker like Paqueta (de bruyne is tired) a fast right winger (already got savio)
Everyone is a Madrid fan all of Sudden
Integrity
8:04 😭😭😭😭😭🤕
Craig spot on
Pep, is the Manager of the year.He is the master, just remember how many times he changed game pertern City v spurs.
Craig always says “it’s a facet of his game” 🤓 when describing player attributes.
Manchester city deserve credit
Apart from the really shadt business in the background they are the most complete team in the world (thanks to Guardiola converting his CB into basically fullbacks, they don't have a problem in that area anymore). As for city's Centrebacks, they have the most depth in that position ahead of everyone. Their midfield, well, its Pep Guardiola, the last problems he's gonna have is in midfield. Their attack just added in Jeremy but it might use another natural winger, I mean I know Grealish supposedly falls into that category but for me he's like Bernardo, a CAM given wingfield responsibilities, so he lacks the expressiveness wingers are supposed to have. And of course they got two splendid Strikers up top.
So apart from maybe a lack in Natural wingers (which doesn't seem to bother Pep much) this is very complete squad
No weaknesses on the pitch, unfortunately there's 115 weaknesses off the pitch.
crybaby 😆Citeh, Citeh, Citehh 💘💘
😂😂😂😂😂
money paid so case closed😂
Cry about the charges, nothing is proven...these guys win on the pitch. United and liverpool spent monies too, where are they? United buying deadwoods from the eredevise, antony, malacia and martinez and amrabat lol...all had the dutch league in common with an apartheid manager
Wait until they beat them too
MC needs 2 good central defenders to advance further in CL.
The same cbs won it last year pal
They have a weakness. If things dont go their way, create chaos in the match and they panic. Be unpredictable and especially maintain a tough low block, city try to open you up, but if you create overload in the middle, they struggle super hard.
The low block. 👍
The weakness is that the epl teams are weak
City deficiencies this season compared to last:
- poor defensively
- poorer wide attacking players
-poorer in chance creation and possession.
- lack of quality cover in central midfield after losing gundogan
- below par individual performers (grealish, Diaz, Bernardo).
I believe they are at an end of a cycle with this team. They have been incredible and he needs to freshen up again and move a few and add a few and go for it again.
I wont be surprised if west ham score in the first 15 minutes😅 we've seen this movie before
Another David Silva/Gundogan esque controlling midfielder is what's needed. The dip in the defensive record is a result of less control in the middle
Also someone who can give Rodri a rest.
We are a midfield team and we went and entire half of season without the two most important players on the attacking side of that midfield. KDB is back but we need to rebuild the attacking mid.
The chip was on.
They do, like most other top teams: all their star players will not always perform at their best every week. This is their only weakness. Same applies to Real Madrid, Bayern Munich or Arsenal London.
Craig sounds really bitter towards City this season, but not when Liverpool was up against them.
He is not a fan of their 115 charges
Yes, fairplay rules
You mean the Ponzi scheme called FFP?
City won the league last year with 89 points, they well might do it this year with 91 and you think they are really worse of Craig?? The only difference is they're not in a champions league final.
Eddie Howe took Newcastle from relegatio to the champions league for the 1st time in over 20 years but he wasn't given Coach of the Season, but now all of a sudden unai emery deserves it???
He beat Arsenal home and away and Man City.
I really can’t think of any weakness Man City has. They are just too good and so dominant
I do not see any team to stop city winning the league next season . They will win it 5 times in a row
You mean 'buy it/cheat their way to it five times'.
No they mean by beating teams like Fulham, westham and villa when it matters 😂
@@jaysmith2858also spurs was the biggest hurdle and they already clenched the title try again next season. Hopefully city go wild on transfer 😜. I hope luton wins it before you ever do and arteta is sacked before that happens 😂
@@masterchief1520 I'm not an Arsenal fan. Man City's biggest hurdles were PGMOL, the PL and the upper echelons of those in positions of power, however given that money talks they were never going to be difficult hurdles to overcome.
Nicol on Spurs....numpty.
Spurs celebrating not being in the Champions League next season in order to spite Arsenal shows just how little ambition that club has, fans and management alike
No, they didn't have a realistic chance of top 4 anyway.
Yeah, madrid and halland shitting his pants every time he sees that badge
BUS is their only weakness
A silver medal for Arsenal and a bronze for Liverpool is not a bad thing...they did well agnst Mighty City
Then something must be done to free up and improve still by losing some player for the next two to three years.
As a city fan, city should replace their old players. Specially bernardo.
Kdb is my most favourite player after messi. But his sharpness has been declined. If he remains next season, he should change his playing style. He has lost 40% of his abilities after injuries. So changing playing style would help him sustain longer. He has great vision, so he should play like kroos, or xavi if he can improve his passing. The number 10 role should be given to foden, this is difficult for me to say, but it is what it is.
KDB has suffered injuries, his age has nothing to with it. He still has a lot to give.
City today is just like Max Verstappen in F1, Lando said: “whenever I finish behind Max, it feels like a win”. City is just too good man, thus no need to shame for Arsenal and Arteta, they’ve done a great job, in a different universe or era they might win the league today if its not for City.
But people keep mocking klopp for winning 1 title however he was the only manager who pushed pep in multiple season and loosing by 1 single point
They wouldn’t win the league early 2000s . Thing is nobody knows how Arsenal winning every game pushes city . City would have probably lost 2-3 games if Arsenal dropped points
How are your fans celebrating a loss.
Spurs down bad “fans” and the club.
But i don't get it, Arsenal beat spurs and are expecting Spurs to beat City, i mean who does that, this is Garbage, isn't it 😭💔😂😂💔
The biggest weakness at City is the high line unlike last season, all city defenders are often very high up and any team good at counter attacking will exploit them easily. Pep is very stubborn but i hope he realizes he needs to ditch the high line next season especially when Mbappe is at Real Madrid. And also the midfield control Stones offered before was missed because he is injured all the time so please Buy Bruno at Newcastle or even Pacueta at Westham. Sell Grealish and Nunez and Stones.
Not stones bro
Yeah Pep can be stubborn but he is getting the job done. Bringing City titles
@@srockerboy1 City have been winning the domestic titles since Mancini days, City need to be winning Champions League more often, disappointed at how some City players kdb and Haaland gave up against Real in extra time and begged to be subbed(injury claims are just an excuse kdb played the next game and Haaland got a week off so Pep could save face after Injury claims). In that kind of games Real players will leave their lives on the pitch.
This team is not hard bcz once u take your chances on them good theory of hard on any team shouldn't be bcz reading brings sights of making your chances on being risky when goin at dem 😅I can score what son missed...these guys are intimated by them but...they lose games remember that..but..they have to keep beating teams to have teams intimated but not certainty of other teams like real Madrid 🇪🇸 and Arsenal they read in game strategies..simple
Frank matured answer show how the English pundits think low what villa is doing Newcastle did much better last season so i don't get what Craig means
You can ask Real Madrid
Pep don’t deserve COTY cus he’s gat more to work with, what kinda logic is that. So you telling if you give Emery this Man city squad he’s winning the title. Not alone four times in a row.
Yea. 115
Mention me one of those charges then
@@Herbalattraction3000 54x Failure to provide accurate financial information 2009-10 to 2017-18. 14x Failure to provide accurate details for player and manager payments from 2009-10 to 2017-18. 5x Failure to comply with Uefa's rules including Financial Fair Play (FFP) 2013-14 to 2017-18.
Pep Manager of the Year if City win the League (first time four in a row)
Nah they don't they got the best lawyers.
If Spurs aren't rival to Arsenal because they haven't been so on the pitch then Man Utd are even less of a rival to Liverpool since when one is doing great the other is in trash. And they aren't even neighbours.
Which team did Madrid hate playing with ???
Someone tell Craig to shut up!!!
Seems like the fool really hating on man city
I can think of 115 weakenesses
Man City weakness: renewable energy
What a silly statement
Actually city wer one of the first to be carvon neutral as a club😂
If u think oil is only thing that makes city this team now then i hope qatar do come for u
Britain's weakness: Giving everybody their stuff back.
Actually Mansour is one of the biggest owners of Nuclear and alternative energy in the UK. Lol 😂 Actually in the world. But, oil is still used by everyone. You, me, your mother, mine, the president, the king. Everyone. So thanks for sponsoring
Pep could win 7 in a row and still be slagged off by the media
Yes he does it's real madrid
We know your weakness is English
@@mytyak07one11 Absolutely you're correct but I'm also happy it's not England.
@@user-id5ep6sf9oI mean you are almost certainly Indian so I’d say England is your weakness too. At least your women have a weakness for Anglo men.
@@user-id5ep6sf9oLOL we thrashed Madrid 4-0 and then 3-3 in your own home ground.
So scared that Madrid took to sleeping on the field. Elegant players like Kroos laying down to prevent the ball from going in😂
That's the City effect
And we're the best team in Europe according to UEFA coefficient standings. 1st for 2023 and 2024. Madrid were 5th and 3rd😂
Lol. Madrid are scared
@@hospitallierYou played well offensively but we played better defensively that's the reason why players like kroos had to make sacrifices so that our club can comfortably win a 15th UCL title. I hope you have a legal team to get you off those 115 charges you cheat. YOU CAN KEEP THE BALL I'LL TAKE THE 3 POINTS 😂😂😂. SEE YOU AT WEMBLEY IN A COUPLE OF DAYS.
They can't win a match in post match penalties
No weaknesses but how many champions league have they won
Yes, they have weaknesses.....it's Real Madrid 😎
Madrid and City are both weaknesses of each other
Simple
4-0
Deep defense
City dominated them in Etihad and Madrid got lucky. Real Madrid is not city’s weakness
Madrid.
LOL we thrashed Madrid 4-0 and then 3-3 in your own home ground.

@hospitallier I know crazy eh. No, I will remember those numbers. People only talk about chips. How many do you have? Good things for madrid. We actually know a thing or two about that.
@@RaySmith79 Won 14 silverware in the last 8 Years mate. How many do you have?
if you look at how much clubs spend vs the money they get from selling players City isn't even in the top 4, they have a MUCH smaller team than other clubs like Chelsea, or Tottenham, (9 players less than Tottenham for example), they frequently sell players with a profit, except Greaklish they have never spent 100 mllion or more, look at United for god sake !, CIty is good because they have the best coach, and the club is very well managed, and actually invests in young players !!, ok i guess they spend a lot on salaries, including peps, but they do NOT spend more money on players, last time i checked, in 2022, they were tenth !!
The death star of english football
Yes 115
But that's our lucky number 😂
CRAIG IS JUST BIASSSS
In this video you'll see why Craig wasn't really a winner in his career. In a 100 years no one is going to remember Villa made top 4 this season.
How is getting top 4, specially when all usual contenders are trash, is better than winning 4 in a row for first time in history of the league, specially in a 3 horse race with best Arsenal team in decades, after losing key players in a transition phase.
Same kind of nonsense talk was going on when Poch used to get top 4 with Spurs. People used to call him pound for pound best manager.
Thats not how football works.
Emery was robbed, he should have won coach of the season, dont think any coach would have taken villa to top 4. Aso emery won arsenal back-back which pep couldn't, and outcoached pep in Villa Park.
Craig still talk abt spending can the Aston villa do what pep has done at city you guys don't just give pep all the praise if it was sir Alex you would have give him now is pep is problem nonsense talk that he got the best to work with you think getting good players on your team is enough you have to make decisions and how to play pep is the best now and for ever forget abt any other coach in the league his the best
Are you sure spurs will even take the 5th position, go Chel and Newcastle, they don't deserve the 5th
no.
Yes, they can’t shoot penalties to save their life🤣
Theor only weakness is Real Madrid
If Pep and City’s success is all down to money as haters keep repeating, why is Manchester United and Chelsea finishing behind Villa and Spurs? I remember in his first season in the EPL, clowns were saying he can’t dominate in England like he did in Spain, no one was talking about money but all of a sudden it’s now all about the money as if there was no money before his arrival at city. He’s the greatest manager of all times, the GOAT.
He's a great manager, no doubt. But don't for a second live in the fantasy world the corrupted money and backroom deals haven't helped.
Look at Lance Armstrong. Great cyclist, no doubt. Still got most of his success using PEDs.
The ENTIRE foundation of Man City, who was in League 2 just 20 years ago, is suspect because of their shadiness.
Bro speaking Facts.
Cause City made actually good signings, still after all the money and financial charges he can barely win a single UCL 😂😂😂 that embarrassing for a "GOAT" manager.
The team is clearly weaker than the previous 2 City teams. Lots of unconvincing performances, and some Madrid type luck for City this season
Yes, but then the refs try and bail them out best they can.
In all seriousness, Akanji’s error today that nearly lead to Son scoring was not an anomaly. He was a fantastic transfer value purchase and he’s generally a consistent player. But he’s also the player in City’s lineup of players who is always most likely to make an untimely error. And playing him in the middle like Stones does not work against elite level competition. That’s not to say Akanji is a bad player but I’d label him as a weakness in City’s side by their standards.
HALA MADRID 😅
yes, the weakness is madrid
City like all Guardiola's teams have one weakness. Pep would rather lose playing beautiful than win ugly. They look too one-dimensional, dont get me wrong, it is an amazing dimension but one-dimensional nonetheless.
craig is weird, he's changed lately
I can give you 115 reasons why we shouldn’t take this so serious
Can you actually name a single one of those reasons though?

Wanting your team to lose is the lamest thing in sports. Just lay down on the pitch for 90 mins boys, this will all be over soon, and you'll be celebrating arsenal not winning, cause thats all you have. Worst fan base ive ever heard of.
Ask the teams that whipped them They will tell Man City weaknesses & there are plenty thats why they are not unbeaten
