[size=14pt]Gabriel Jesus Owes A Lot To The Palmeiras Medical Team[/size] Gabriel Jesus, who will join Manchester City after the Brazilian football season ends in December, scored in the 1-1 Draw between Palmeiras and Flamengo. After Gabriel Jesus scored, he ran to the medical team of his club and thanked them for his speedy recovery. Four days earlier, the Brazilian international left the pitch on a stretcher in the game against Gremio. Due to the work of the medical team of Palmeiras, he was fit to play full 90 minutes and score against Flamengo. Gabriel Jesus thanked the medical staffs for their role in getting him fit for the game against Flamengo. "After the goal, I came here to embrace one of the physiotherapists," he said, according to Globo Esporte. "Jomar [Ottoni], Marcelo [Gondo], everyone in the medical department. I owe a lot to them." Nice work by the medical team of Palmeiras to keep the brilliant forward in good health. Gabriel Jesus career moved forward since his form picked up beginning of this season at Palmeiras. He played a role in Brazil winning the Olympics gold medal in Men's football for the first time. Keeping him fit is important for him to make an impact at Manchester City as soon as he joins the team in December. Glad he is okay and back to scoring. http://justcityzens..com/ |

[size=14pt]City Can Cope Without Bonucci's Brilliance[/size] Juventus defender, Leonardo Bonucci considered leaving Juventus when he heard of Manchester City's interest in signing him. He considered joining City because of the idea of teaming up with Guardiola. Bonucci decided to stay with the Italian champions despite Manchester City's interest in him. "I did give it some thought. Guardiola's insistence destabilised me a little," Bonucci told reporters. "I did not speak to Pep directly, it was just an exchange of thoughts with my agent. It was tempting, but I decided to follow my heart in the end. "I opted to stay at a great team with big objectives. I want to end the project that we started in 2010 in the best way possible. "We are in talks with the club [over a new deal]. The most beautiful thing for me is how Juventus have shown that I am very important for the club. This has motivated me to keep improving and to always give 110 per cent." Guardiola considers Bonucci as one of the best defenders in the game. Despite the respect, talent and defensive brilliance, Bonucci might not work with Manchester City because his heart is with Juventus. Manchester City needs players who believes in the club's vision. We need players who would work hard to make this vision becomes a reality. Bonucci is an exceptional talent but we have brilliant defenders who can help us fulfill our dreams. We have Vincent Kompany who will make his return to the team soon. We also have Stones who improved since he joined Guardiola and the young promising Tosin Adarabioyo. We can cope without Leonardo Bonucci's brilliance. http://justcityzens..com/2016/09/city-can-cope-without-bonucci-brilliance.html?m=0 |

[size=14pt]Guardiola's Style Made Aguero Better[/size] Guardiola believes he does not deserve much credit for the goals Sergio Aguero scored so far this season. Aguero who is serving a three match ban after he swung his elbow towards West Ham United’s Winston Reid, returned to action for Manchester City in the rearranged Group C clash against Borussia Monchengladbach. The City super striker scored a hat-trick during a dominant display from the English Premier League table toppers. This was Aguero’s second hat-trick in the UEFA Champions League after a hat-trick against Steaua Bucharest in the playoffs. Guardiola preferred to praise the Argentine striker for the goals he scored and hopes he continues helping the team turn their attacking style into goals. "Sergio is good because he's good," he told a post-match news conference. "He was good with Manuel [Pellegrini], he is good with the national team, hopefully he is good with us. "His talent in the box to score goals is natural; I can teach absolutely nothing. "He has to know that behind him there is a team that is going to help him if he is going to help us. That is what I have to convince him. "If he continues to help us in that way he is going to score a lot of goals, like Keli [Iheanacho], like all our strikers." Guardiola does not want the credit but he is one of the reasons of Aguero’s impressive goal scoring record so far this season. Guardiola's attacking style helps creates lots of chances for the attackers. This means they have more chances to convert than before. Aguero is a fantastic striker with an impressive record. Guardiola's style means Aguero gets the chances. Without the other players putting in much effort to create more chances, Aguero would not score this much. A system Guardiola made sure the team plays in every game. We hope Aguero and the other strikers continue helping the team with goals. http://justcityzens..com/2016/09/guardiola-style-made-aguero-better.html?m=0 |

[size=14pt]Aguero Should Extend His Contract With City[/size] Manchester City played brilliantly against Monchengladbach. This was the best performance of the team this season because we were against a strong side. Gladbach were brave against City and pressed hard. Their players put in a good show but their bravery was not enough to prevent a routing from City. In that game, Sergio Aguero, Manchester City super striker stood out. He scored three goals that night. His memorable performance showed the kind of talent we are missing due to his suspension in the domestic games. Reports indicates Aguero will extend his contract and Pep Guardiola, Manchester City manager hopes Aguero extends his stay at the Etihad. “I think he is going to extend his contract, but it’s not official." Guardiola said. “I don’t know if it will definitely happen. “I think he’s a good player. I think there are players you want to stay. You cannot disguise his quality. If he stays I will be very happy.” Manchester City look a better side since the arrival of Pep Guardiola and the players look improved. Aguero is scoring for fun and renewing his contract will mean him maintaining the momentum he started with. From the look of things, Guardiola is enjoying his stay and he wants to work with this special group of players. He hammered on how intelligent the players are to adapt quickly to the change in playing style. We are few months into playing Guardiola's possession-heavy style and the team looks better. The team will get better as they have more understanding of Guardiola's tactics. Aguero will get better services and as a natural scorer, his goal scoring rate will improve. Staying longer will mean Aguero spending more time with Guardiola. Staying will mean Aguero being part of a stronger Manchester City. http://justcityzens..com/2016/09/aguero-should-extend-his-contract-with.html?m=0 |

[size=14pt]City Must Sign Gladbach's Real Engine[/size] According to reports, Pep Guardiola wants to sign three of the Borussia Monchengladbach team Manchester City defeated in the Group C Champions League clash. The three targets are Mahmoud Dahoud, Thorgan Hazard and Andreas Christensen. Bild reports that Guardiola told Gladbach's sporting director that he wants these three players at the Etihad. Hazard is the younger brother of Chelsea star Eden, Christensen is a Chelsea player on loan and Dahoud is an exciting talent from Gladbach's academy, monitored by Liverpool’s boss, Jurgen Klopp. Manchester City had an impressive show as they defeated Gladbach in the rearranged game. In that game, many City players put in fine performances. Aguero, Sterling, De Bruyne, Gundogan, Fernandinho, Stones and Otamendi were brilliant. It is difficult to point a City player who did not do well. Kolarov was also brilliant that night. In that same game, there was an exceptional player on the field, the 20 years old Mahmoud Dahoud. He was a tireless runner on the field, marking and covering gaps created by his pressing team mates. He also pressed to help keep the Manchester City players off their game. He was the engine of that midfield and as a box-to-box midfielder, he knew what his coach wanted from him. His pressing style of play and his tireless runs will suit the pressing style Guardiola wants when we lose the ball. Apart from his running and pressing style, Dahoud is a gifted passer of the ball. His precise long-range passes, will make him an asset to the team. He looks out for his unmarked team-mates and makes the right passes to them. His tactical intelligence shows in his passes and he always demands the ball by making himself available for passes. Mahmoud Dahoud was a star that night and Manchester City must do their best to secure the signature of this brilliant midfielder. http://justcityzens..com/2016/09/city-must-sign-gladbach-real-engine.html?m=0 1 Like |

[size=14pt]Bournemouth Showed Not All Teams Are Scared To Lose[/size] Manchester City won impressively against Bournemouth, winning them 4-0 with Kevin De Bruyne, Kelechi Iheanacho, Raheem Sterling and Ilkay Gundogan all scoring a goal each. Despite the victory, Guardiola believes Bournemouth are the best side he faced this season. Guardiola praise the side managed by Eddie Howe. "Bournemouth are the best side we have faced this season," said Guardiola. "[Other sides] just used the long ball. Our high pressing was not perfect today, we had problems with controlling the Bournemouth build-up, but we created a lot of counter-attacks. "The quality of our players made the difference. I'm very happy because I know the quality of the team we have beat and that [Joshua] King is a quality striker. "I'm happy because people will be so proud when the famous players run without the ball." "I am so happy with Raheem Sterling's start - and he Instagrams and tweets less," Guardiola said. "We've won five games in the Premier League but in our world it's better not to read. I know we're going to lose games. "We have to know we can get better. We have to fight like a small team, then the quality of De Bruyne and Kelechi can make the difference. "Complacency is not going to happen while I am here. It is not so easy, we have a lot of work and it is only September." Despite the impressive passing and the lovely goals of Manchester City, Eddie Howe showed how teams grow. A lot of teams put too much emphasis in winning without knowing that sometimes, wins mask the growth of teams. Eddie Howe's side lost today but they showed they can attack a superior side. Bournemouth were compact in the midfield, pressed relentlessly, making it difficult for Manchester City to keep the ball and they stopped some of the counter attacks Manchester City had. They did not sit back and wait for Manchester City to come at them. They showed bravery and faith in their system. They showed interest in growing as a football team than focusing on winning a big game. They learnt their lessons which will help them in big games. Bournemouth lost today but there is no doubt they will cause some big teams problems this season. http://justcityzens..com/2016/09/bournemouth-showed-not-all-teams-are.html?m=0 |

[size=14pt]City's Quality Made The Difference In Win Over Bournemouth[/size] Bournemouth lost 4-0 to Manchester City and their manager, Eddie Howe believes City's players were a level above his players. Howe felt disappointed in the way his defenders played. He believes his team did not get their defensive play right. "It's tough to take. When you lose in the manner that we did it's difficult, a tough afternoon," Howe told BBC Radio Solent. "I really believe that if we'd got our defensive play right we'd have had a chance of getting something from the game but unfortunately the goals we conceded in the first half were really disappointing, especially the second one. That's a difficult one to take. "They didn't let us breathe today. We couldn't get any momentum with our passing. We were pressed and hounded, as we like to do to teams. "I thought they were a level above us, but I feel we could have done a lot better. Howe admitted that Jack Wilshere who is on loan from Arsenal, had a difficult time in the game. "It was a difficult one for him because the team didn't get high enough up the pitch to see his true quality, and that's where he's going to excel for us – in the attacking third. "He'll get better from this point as he gets fitter and gets to know the team. "It's always difficult to leave players out but, tactically, to come here and play the system we played previously was impossible. "It was a case of trying to shore up the middle of the pitch and give us a platform to stay in the game. If we could have gone in at half-time even 1-0 down I think we were bang in the game." Eddie Howe, manager of Bournemouth got his plan right but his side could not deal with City's brilliance. His plan was to press and restrict the passing style of Manchester City. To an extent, his players succeeded in doing this but the City players adapted to the pressing game of Bournemouth. City also pressed them hard and prevented the Bournemouth players from sticking to their plan of controlling the game with simple passes. City's brilliance during the counter attacks we made showed we did well against their pressing style. We did not hold on to the ball too long, moved the ball quickly from one to another and ran into the gaps created by the Bournemouth players. Both sides stuck to their plans of pressing and making the game uncomfortable for the opponents. City came out on top because the City players distributed the ball better. City pressed better and scored most of their chances. City's quality was the difference. http://justcityzens..com/2016/09/city-quality-made-difference-in-win.html?m=0 |

[size=14pt]Migraine Stopped Yaya From Returning To City Squad[/size] Manchester midfielder, Yaya Toure did not get a chance to return to Guardiola's squad because he had a migraine which ruined his chance of a return. Toure did not get the chance to play in the Champions League game against Gladbach and in the English Premier League game against Bournemouth. With David Silva, Fabian Delph and Fernando injured, Toure might have made the Premier League squad for the first time this season. Manchester Evening News reported that Yaya Toure suffered a migraine which ruined his chance of a recall to the Manchester City squad. Toure was not around the Etihad due to a migraine he suffered. The migraine stopped him from training with the team for the last three days. The migraine ruined Toure's chance of showing he could make it back to the team. Toure chose to stay at the Etihad, instead of going on loan because he wants to fight for his place in the team. Wishing Yaya Toure a quick recovery. http://justcityzens..com/2016/09/migraine-stopped-yaya-from-returning-to.html?m=0 |

[size=14pt]Kompany Still Has A Place In City Squad[/size] Vincent Kompany did not get a chance in City's starting line-up against Bournemouth despite Pep Guardiola leaving John Stones on the bench. Vincent Kompany has not played a game for City since the arrival of Guardiola and it looks as if his chances to play for the team is slim. Guardiola dropped some of the key Manchester City players from the squad as he built a team that suits his pattern of play and his philosophy. Nasri, Bony, Mangala, Joe Hart and Yaya Toure were among those who did not make the squad. It seems Vincent Kompany Is next. Kompany has a role to play for Manchester City this season. If he was not important to Guardiola, he would not list Kompany's name in the Champions League squad. We have won our first eight games and it seems we are defensively protected. With Stones, Kolarov, Otamendi and the young defender, Tosin Adarabioyo in the squad, it looks as if we have no need for Kompany. As side from Kompany being a leader, he is a great passer of the ball. He is defensively solid and one we can depend on. With Guardiola's possession-heavy style relying on players who pass the ball well, Kompany is an asset to the team. Kompany Is not playing because Guardiola wants him to return to full fitness. Despite Kompany recovering from his injury, Guardiola does not want to risk him getting injured again. When Guardiola feels Kompany is fit to start, Guardiola will give him his chance to lead the team. http://justcityzens..com/2016/09/kompany-still-has-place-in-city-squad.html?m=0 |

[size=14pt]City Needs To Win The Race To Sign Leon Bailey[/size] Leon Bailey is a nineteen years old winger, named the best young player in Belgium last season. The Sun reports that Manchester City is keeping tabs on the exciting young winger. City is among the clubs that showed interest in signing him. His release clause is around £3.2 million. Before Bailey joined the youth ranks of Genk, he was in Kingston-based Phoenix All-Star Academy in Jamaica, his home nation. He left Genk and joined AS Trencin. At just sixteen years old, he signed an endorsement deal with Nike, back in 2014. After he turned 18, he returned to Genk and signed a three years deal with them. In a shot time, he became a first team player of Genk and participated in most of their matches. The teenager made an impressive start at the club, scoring six goals and assisting nine goals. Bailey is a dangerous winger with blistering pace and has a brilliant ball control. He is tricky with his run, changing his direction with ease. He has the skills to cause problems to the full backs of the opponents. He can play in different positions across the front line and he makes the right choices when he crosses. He is a good passer and contributes defensively to the team. Manchester City have a talented winger in Jesus Navas. Someone who played a part in lots of memorable games. Jesus Navas is thirty years now and we need a quality replacement. Leon Bailey can become a top winger at Manchester City. http://justcityzens..com/2016/09/city-need-to-win-race-to-sign-leon.html?m=0 |

[size=14pt]Guardiola Is The Inspiration Behind City's Flawless Start[/size] Manchester City won their eighth game of the season after the players put four past a tough, compact pressing Bournemouth. They won all eight games they played so far this season. Eddie Howe set up his side to cause City problems but the brilliant play of the City team unlocked the Bournemouth defence. The players take the praise for being the key to the team's success but people miss the hard work the coaches put in to make the players do well on the pitch. The City team looks like a team of brilliant footballers who make the right choices most times. The intricate passing and dummies look like something made of players who do the right things at the right time. Guardiola gives the players passing drills and skill trainings that makes players mentally sharp. He sets up the team to recover the ball quickly and create scoring chances. His style of play is a platform for brilliant players to excel. That is why Kelechi Iheanacho and De Bruyne look class on the field. Aguero looks sharper than we have ever seen him and we see Sterling flourishing in the new way Guardiola is using him. In another system, the same players can look off pace and lazy. Some training methods might not encourage the players to express themselves up front and make them look selfish, instead of brilliant. Guardiola's hard work put in the team brought good results and we hope the results continue coming. He deserves the credit because the way he wants the team to play brings out the best in the players. http://justcityzens..com/2016/09/guardiola-is-inspiration-behind-city.html?m=0 |

[size=14pt]City Fans Should Call A Truce In Their War With UEFA[/size] Manchester City fans can help the team in the Champions League if they listen to the plea of Pep Guardiola and get behind the team during the Champions League games. Gundogan who performed brilliantly in Manchester City's rearranged match against Gladbach believes the fans have a role in making City do better in the Champions League. The Sun reports that Manchester City midfielder, Ilkay Gundogan echoed Guardiola's plea for the Manchester City fans to call a truce in their war with UEFA and get behind the team. The fans have a big role to play in the Champions League and we notice this in most teams who dominate the Champions League. Teams like Barcelona, AC Milan, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich have faithful fans who stick with their teams during the title races. The players feel honored to have thousands of supporters cheering them to win games. The supporters can become the extra man for the team because they can push the players beyond their limits. A lot have to do with what the players do on the pitch but the support of the fans go a long way in helping the team succeed. It is time we put the feud behind us and support Pep Guardiola to do well with the team. He made decisions that made the team stronger. If he did not feel the fans were important to make the team succeed, he will not call for our support. http://justcityzens..com/2016/09/city-fans-should-call-truce-in-their.html?m=0 |

[size=14pt]City Should Aim At Improving And Not Titles[/size] After winning eight games out of eight, people think Manchester City will walk over every team that comes our way and win the league title. We should not think that way because it is a tough league with good teams who aim to win the league. Despite dominating and defeating Bournemouth, the Mirror reports that Manchester City boss, Guardiola warned that Manchester City will not walk to the title. The Cityzens sit at the top of the English Premier League table. We should not lose sight of the work ahead. We have some tough fixtures coming. We are in the Champions League and we will deal with the challenge of turning out each week to put up a good performance. We are doing well so far and we put in some good performances along the way. In the English Premier League, our players played impressively in all games. That does not mean we will find every game easy. In the early part of the game against Bournemouth, the Bournemouth players were difficult to break down and it took a brilliant free kick to open up the game. That tells the challenges ahead. We should not think of the challenges ahead as easy but think of improving game by game. We should enjoy our win and the delightful football we saw. Then go back to expecting the team to put up a good show in the next game. It took hard work of the players to deliver the kind of performances we saw. They ran with great energy to create the intensity we see. So we expect the players to keep working hard to improve. We hope our team gets rewards of titles but that is not our priority. We should aim at becoming better playing the system the coach wants. We need to get better at holding the ball, distributing it and pressing to recover the ball when we lose it. If we get better at these, we stand a better chance of winning games and possibly win titles. With teams like Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester United, Liverpool and others fighting to win the title, it shows we have tough challenges ahead. The best chance we stand at overcoming these challenges is to improve day-by-day. Our aim is becoming a better team and giving our best in each game we play. We need to respect our opponents and not underrate them. Focusing on winning our next game is our target and not thinking of an easy walk to titles. http://justcityzens..com/2016/09/city-should-aim-at-improving-and-not.html?m=0 |

[size=14pt]Kompany Needs The Competition At City To Get Back To His Best[/size] Guardiola named Vincent Kompany, Manchester City captain and trusted defender as one of the substitutes on Manchester City's bench in the English Premier League game against Bournemouth. The Belgian defender did not play any game since his injury in the Champions League semi-final against Real Madrid. This was the first time Pep Guardiola named Kompany in his squad and it looks as if Kompany is on his way back to the starting line-up of City. Few weeks ago, Kompany returned to training but Guardiola was not willing to rush the defender back into the squad. Guardiola's aim this season is to get Kompany fit, so he can help the team win games. John Stones was on the bench with Vincent Kompany and Guardiola chose Otamendi to partner Kolarov in defence. The Mirror reported that Guardiola insisted that there was no longer a guaranteed starting spot for Kompany. Kompany will face a tough competition from other defenders for a starting place in the squad. Kompany is a great guy and played a big role in the success we had at the club. He was a regular player. He is not yet up to his best due to his long lay off. With Stones, Kolarov and Otamendi playing well in defence, Kompany will work hard to get back into the starting line-up of the team. Vincent Kompany is a top quality defender and the manager knows this. When Kompany shows he can do better than the other defenders, Guardiola will start him. Kompany's presence in the squad makes the other defenders work hard to keep their places. The healthy competition between the defenders will make them do better and know they can lose their place to the other anytime. This in turn will help Kompany return to his best soon. We expect him to improve and get chances to show us why he is a hero among the faithful Manchester City fans. http://justcityzens..com/2016/09/kompany-needs-competition-at-city-to.html?m=0 |

[size=14pt]Manchester City Are Hard To Beat Under Guardiola[/size] Pep Guardiola made decisions that improved the attitude of the Manchester City players and they improve with every game they play. They looked excellent in their last game against Bournemouth, beating AFC Bournemouth, 4-0. Manchester Evening News reported that Arsenal Legend, Thierry Henry believes it will take 'something special' to prevent Manchester City from winning the Premier League this season. Guardiola's arrival sparked belief in the players and we see them improving day-by-day. Unlike last season, it seemed some players did not give their all for the team. Our players now walk to the pitch believing they can win convincingly and give their all on the pitch to win. This is the way players in top teams think and Guardiola drove this mentality into the players. Guardiola coached two top European teams, Barcelona and Bayern Munich before joining Manchester City. He knows the mentality required for a team to put in good performances in every game. The players will keep getting better because of the competition for places in the squad. With the decisions Guardiola took to drop key players of Manchester City, the players know that they need to keep playing well to keep their place in the team. There is room for improvement and Guardiola will keep the players working hard to get better. In the game against Bournemouth, we had difficulties breaking their defence early. We also need improvement in the communication between the forward players. Sometimes, a player shoots when another player is in a better place to score. The players show hunger when they lose the ball and this make them work hard to get it back. This makes the team hard to break down. We are sharp in preventing counter attacks and the refreshing competition among the players make them improve individually. We have players who step up when a key player is not fit or suspended. With Kelechi Iheanacho filling the striking role with Aguero’s suspension and Gundogan filling in for Silva, we can cope without the regular stars. This does not make us invincible and we should not think we can win every game easily. We must work hard in every game. Guardiola helped the team grow and let us hope we improve day-by-day. http://justcityzens..com/2016/09/manchester-city-are-hard-to-beat-under.html?m=0 1 Like |

[size=14pt]Leroy Sane Ready To Make His Start For City[/size] Manchester City announced the capture of the exciting 20 years old winger, Leroy Sane from Schalke. He cost the club £37 million but a hamstring injury kept him away from the Manchester City's starting line-up. The Daily Mail reports that Manchester City manager, Pep Guardiola confirmed Leroy Sane will feature in Manchester City's EFL Cup tie against Swansea City on Wednesday. Sane managed about 49 minutes game time in the English Premier League. The Spanish tactician believes Sane is ready to start against Swansea. Sane looked exciting and fast in the few minutes he had in the English Premier League. Although, he made errors in some of his decision-making. He looked match rusty and lacked the sharpness to make some decisions right. However, in the Manchester derby, his brilliant pass to Kevin De Bruyne which De Bruyne shot at the bar, was top quality. Sane's pass to Iheanacho, which Iheanacho scored in the Champions League game against Gladbach showed Sane's quality to create goals for his team-mates. With more game time, Sane will show quality and we expect the brilliant young winger will become a great player of the Manchester City team. http://justcityzens..com/2016/09/leroy-sane-ready-to-make-his-start-for.html?m=0 1 Like |

[size=15pt]Kolarov Is A New Man Under Guardiola[/size] Pep Guardiola gave Kolarov a new role since he arrived and the defender looks an improved player when he plays in central defence. He was one of the players who did not look top quality last season and some thought he was one of the players Pep Guardiola will drop when he arrives. In some games, when Guardiola played Kolarov in central defence, he looked like the perfect defender. Manchester City defeated Bournemouth 4-0 in the English Premier League and Kolarov had another fine performance. His passes, defending and movement was a delight to see. He was one of the best players on the field. The Mirror reports that Arsenal Legend, Martin Keown claimed that Kolarov reminded him of England and West Ham great Bobby Moore. Kolarov looked the perfect defender. His movement within the defensive area was brilliant. He made runs with the ball and distributed the ball intelligently. Kolarov was calm under pressure and used his skills to evade his markers. The way he played showed why Guardiola chose him as one of the regulars. http://justcityzens..com/2016/09/kolarov-is-new-man-under-guardiola.html?m=0 |

TheGoodJoe:Pep is just too good, a genius. Kolarov is among the 5players I was hope guardiola will offload as soon as he takeover city. But you know what he just re-shape them. Kolarov now look like a new signed or a brand new player....he has step up his game big time. Kudos to pep who always bring something good from what others count as waste product... 1 Like |

[size=14pt]Yaya Toure Back To Fight For A Place In City Squad[/size] Since the arrival of Pep Guardiola at the Etihad, Yaya Toure, the Ivorian midfielder found it difficult to get playing time with Manchester City. It seems the boss is not satisfied with Yaya Toure's work rate when City loses the ball. Guardiola did not put Yaya Toure's name in the Champions League squad list and Yaya Toure made only one appearance this season for Manchester City in the second leg Champions League playoff game against Steaua Bucharest. The Ivorian rejected a chance to go on loan out of the Etihad and chose to fight for a place in the team. Guardiola explained that Yaya Toure was not in training due to a migraine he suffered. Yaya Toure was not in the released official first team photograph because he received treatment for his migraine. Manchester Evening News reported that Yaya Toure is back in training to fight for a place in the Manchester City squad. Yaya Toure faces a tough competition with Fernandinho playing brilliantly as a midfield pivot of the team. Gundogan can also play in that role and Fernando can play as a central midfielder. Guardiola introduced Aleix Garcia as a substitute in the 4-0 demolition of Bournemouth and the youngster had a good performance. He tracked back and helped win the ball back. His choices while passing were impressive and his positioning was quality. Yaya Toure is a City legend and he still feels he has a part to play in the team. If Guardiola gives him a chance, we hope he excels and helps the team do well. http://justcityzens..com/2016/09/yaya-toure-back-to-fight-for-place-in.html?m=0 |

As yaya toure announced his retirement from international football after severing the country for 14years. Pep made it clear in the press that he is not part of tomorrows squad to play against swansea and he won't be played until His agent Dimitri Seluk apologize to the club for his statement against city and pep for leave yaya out of the UCL squad. Goodjoe what's your take on this? Is it ok for pep to punish yaya cos of his agent statement. |

justicejay: I also don't think Yaya can but he has a role to play if he can increase his pressing when we lose the ball. Guardiola does not want a weakness in the team. 1 Like |

justicejay: Yes Seluk is but we should stick with Yaya who gave us so many joyous memories. We should not let Seluk destroy the great things Yaya did for the club. |
