Salah is not top 5 in EPL history.

He has great stats and he is extremely lethal that's all.

All these is now your business.

Kovacic featured in 7 games out of the 12 games.

EOD
13 games.

And he completely missed 6 games (7 in terms of minutes) whilst playing in only 5 full games of the remaining 7.

You've been proven the liar.

so have you agreed he played 7 out of 12 games? Yes or No?
Unfortunately, I have to spell it out for you.

There are 13 games not 12.
13 games of 90 mins is 1170 mins.
Kovacic played 502 mins.

There are 688 mins that he was entirely missing. That is 6 games and 3/4 of 1 game. ~ 7 games.

Out of 13 games, Kovacic missed ~ 7 games. He had only 5 full games. He missed ~ 7 games.

He did not play 7 out of 12 games. He actually played 5 out of 13. Missing roughly 7 games.

Your agenda will only impress people who need things spelled out to them like children.

you claimed to be A Man City fan and you don't know that Kovacic played

45 mins in TOTTENHAM 2-1 City
90 mins in Bournemouth 2-1 City
85 mins s in Sporting 4-1 City
90 mins in Brighton 2-1 City
23 mins vs Man United 2-1 City
84 mins vs Aston Villa 2-1 City
85 mins in EVERTON 1-1 City


That's 7 games he featured. Stop stressing me. Open flashscore, sofascore or Footmob and checked the actual minute he played. Stop lying.
Yeah, I'm lying. From Tottenham in the EFL cup to Everton is 12 matches. Not 13. LOL

You want to count 22 min appearances as 1 match but THFC to Everton is 12 games so you can claim Kova played 7 of 12 games.

Not that he outrightly missed 6 games.

That is, he was unavailable for half of the fixtures that his team won only 1 game in.

And I'm the liar. grin

Sir, I don't know what you are blabbing about.

Did Kovacic played 7 out of 12 games where ? Man City won just one game or not?

He played 7 games.
5 were 90 minutes
2 were substitute cameo
Dude. At this point, I think you are intentionally embarrassing yourself. Look at the image attached. It is the run of games showing the only win in green. If you count it, it is thirteen like 13. Got it?

Kovacic played the first 2 games fully and only half of the Sporting game. He got injured in that game and did not play 2nd half.

Then he missed every single game in between until he replaced KdB against United. So he played 21 minutes.

How many games can you count now to see that he missed? This is easy as ABC except you are just bent on misunderstanding a simple fact.

Like I said, in those 12 games Man City won just one game, Kovacic played 7 of them.

90 mins vs Brighton
85 mins vs sporting
90 mins vs Bournemouth
45 mins vs Tottenham
85 mins vs Everton
84 mins vs Aston Villa
23 mins vs Man United.

That's 7 Appearances out of 12. Played almost 90 mins in 5 games.

I can do the same for Diaz, Ake and other players your Baldiola has been using as excuses for his numerous losses
Show us how Kovacic that got injured for Croatia and was sidelined against Tottenham was able to play 45 mins?

And if you're referring to the Carabao cup, then count Kovacic's games vs City's games in that stretch including today. That should be how many games?

You're just cherry picking stats to give your lies a couch to sit on.

Is Pep Guardiola not the mastermind behind Manchester City's success anymore?
Did you not agree to below statement that says "Pep is the most important person in Manchester City's setup", So, why would Pep need anyone else to become "Pep"?
.
Pep is THE most important. . .He is not the ONLY important person. With the same tools he is "complaining" about he won a league title (a historic 4-peat by the way) following a treble. Same team got to the FA Cup final and UCL SF (where they outplayed and lost on penalties to eventual and perennial winners RM).

He is allowed to whine and give excuses. He wrote the book on winning EPL titles.

If you're asking for my personal opinion, Pep knows he could have changed the setup or used the academy players but he is incredibly stubborn. This is a man that benched Rodri against CFC in the UCL final and lost! Pep does some head-scratching things atimes due to his principles!

There are many other reasons including poor squad management from Txiki, arrogance because "Pep will always find a solution" which he had been doing since 20/21 and hard luck. They had planned to rebuild the squad in summer 2025 but the injuries piled on earlier.

The issue is on the piling on not just the isolated instances of injuries. So Pep is not losing multiple games in a row for the first time in his career because of an injury to a key player like VVD.

I listed all the possible replacement parts for Ballon D'or winner Rodri - Kovacic, Stones, Akanji, Nunes, Grealish - all being injured simultaneously at one point. What was Pep supposed to do? I agree with the idea of going to the academy (Romeo Lavia is a City academy product) but Pep won't do it. So he is over-relying on Oldman Gundo.

Its almost official

Salah >>> Henry
He is not.

1. The stats you used the other day was wrong. Henry has played less games than Salah per stats.

2. Henry was never EPL GOAT because of his stats. Shearer and Rooney always had better total numbers than him but it never changed his GOAT status.

3. Most importantly, the true GOAT of the EPL rival to Henry is KdB. Salah has to get past him before he can be in Henry conversations.

No waste the notes,we go still cook,Agenda no dey finish cheesy...

Pep cannot survive having FSG as owners

We were so riddled with injuries that gomez played DM,was also the reason we played Chelsea with kids in carabao final, surrendered our top of the league lead in Dec last season and 20/21 which you eventually won....We never asked for sympathy like you and pep are currently doing
I assume all the games you are referring to, Liverpool won, no?

Who has Pep needed to use as a DM in the absence of Rodri, Kova, Stones, Akanji, Nunes?

Did Liverpool by any chance have a Ballon D'or winner unable to play for the rest of the season?

The way some of you speak, it is almost like Pep did not just win this same league as recently as May 2024.

I'm sorry but your team needs to win 4 league titles on the trot to teach Pep anything about winning.

Where is the lie?

Did those players I mentioned not play those number of games?

Pep Guardiola is just dancing around the bush, GOAT manager but injury excuse is bullshit, no be only him de get injury crisis.
I randomly selected Kovacic from your list.

He played Tottenham (Carabao cup), played Bournemouth and got injured first half against Sporting FC. Did not play for City again till the 69' when he replaced KdB in the United game.

That means, Kova missed at least 8 of the 13 games.

Not that he played 7 out of 12. He missed 8/13 of which we are including 45' against Sporting (1-1) at the time and 21' against United.

Like I said, I can do that for the rest of your list. You're simply just posting lies and the rest of the less-researched people are gobbling it up.

Kovacic played 7 out of 12 games Pep Guardiola went winless

Ruben Dias played 6.

Akanji played 8.

Ake played 7.

KDB played 7.

Make Baldiola de whyne himself. All these mentioned played more than half of those 13 games Man City won only 1 game.

I repeat only Oscar Bobb and Rodri missed every match there
KdB's first game "played" was coming on at 4-1 down to Sporting in the 89th minute or so.

I can do that for the rest of your list.

I'm noticing how nobody has brought up City's wealth now that we've been in this bad run of form. Nothing about us having 2 squads that can win the league. Now everyone's players are better than ours.

Who is comparing who to who? Are you guys dumb or what. Reason I hate pointless arguments on nairaland were people can't even read properly. Someone made a statement that we were in 10th position and hardly winning games before Maresca. I brought out stats that showed pochettino last 18 games is identical to Maresca. Difference is visible yet Maresca is not outperforming a useless pochettino he took over from. There's no need wasting my time.
I told one of your fellow CFC fans that a child has to crawl before walking.

You can't isolate the last aspects of 2023/24 season that allowed CFC to finish top 7 from the top half of 24/25 season.

CFC were already on the rise from last season. Nobody expected y'all to finish 12th again.

Anyway, na till match week 38 then we will decide who did what.

The best time to compare the players would be ceteris paribus abi "all things being equal" or "given the same circumstances" - and that is their time in City.

I, as a City fan, do not care about Palmer or his alleged success in Chelsea. Foden won the league as the best player AFTER Palmer left. Evidence po. . .in Foden's favor.

Hazard went 1 year without scoring and it did not stop Chelsea fans from hyping him till date. Foden will be fine. His season will go as City's season goes.

Saka is good while Palmer is world class is what rivals don’t understand. Saka is a B talent, he is heading the likes of Bowen, Foden and co while Palmer is A list with the likes of Vinicious, Yamal, Mbappe and co. In football, eye test comes first before any other rating and Palmer is superior in that regard, including stat per games. Palmer can play in any condition and still shine not so with Foden or even Saka. With the way Arsenal pushed for the league last season, replace Saka with Palmer and they will be epl champion. Palmer’s talent and play make the team formidable with his enormous offensive talent and varieties. If only South Gate was brave enough to start him instead of Foden against Spain England will be Europe champion by now. Palmer is one of the reason for Chelsea’s come back, he is the revelation of this new era of Chelsea.

Saka and Foden are like Davido while Palmer is Wizkid and Burnaboy.
Hensben, you are second now. Why don't you categorically state that your team will win the league because you have a worldclass player that is better than everyone else?

Why?

I've never seen people who believe their players are the best but then shield them from the pressure of proving that they are.

Don’t stress yourself about people asking why Pep sold Palmer. He wasn’t important at that moment, and nobody could have predicted he would become this good. My only issue, though, is Pep not buying any players in the summer. Even if all the players you mentioned came back, they still have an aging midfield.

Walker 32
kdb 33
gundogan 34
both Kovacic and bernado will be 31 next summer
You are right, City's major issue is the lack of physicality in the midfield. We don't have the players that can cover distance quickly, press, are athletic, win second balls, tackles or stop transitions.

What then happens is, opposing players can stretch the midfield with 2 or 3 passes and have the Gundos and Silvas of this world caught in no man's land or simply just run through it like Kulusevski did the other day.

That's what Rodri was doing as one man for City, to add to his clutch goals and assists. Of course, Pep is a genius because he has forgotten more solutions than many managers can think of, but he is also insufferably stubborn about his ideas.

He believes the only solution is more control. The more we have press-resistant midfielders, the less likely we are to lose the ball for a counter attack, or quick transition. I think he forgets that we are also now vulnerable in corner kicks due to this palpable lack of height and physical presence.

Kovacic was the Rodri deputy who could handle some aspects of what Rodri brings but not all, and not usually at the same time. Kova excels at anticipating and stopping passes. Is decent at tackling and being an outlet whilst also possessing the press-resistance to settle the base, but he is not a great passer, not as physically dominant and does not cover the distance Rodri does per game. But even with him, City were still pulling out the necessary wins.

Losing Kova, Stones, Akanji, KdB, Jack and most importantly Rodri was just too much to bear. That's why he has been forcing Gundogan to play the 6 role which he clearly does not have the legs for anymore.

Bernardo is press-resistant, but does not offer anything else from midfield as he is only 5'5". Rico is the same if not smaller. People can just nudge him off the ball. That's why I said Zubimendi is not going to be the solution to City's problems. We need a Kante-like player but more Bruno Guimaraes than Ngolo, because Bruno can also offer the diagonal switches and forward transitions that helps City progress the ball more purposefully.

It is no surprise, of the last 8 games in which City managed to win only 1 and lose 5 of them, Gundo & Bernardo played in midfield. That's the major common factor. No legs to press high up. A distorted press becomes a recipe for disaster as teams can pass through us like sieves and then add the high line, and you see why Tottenham could knack City 4-0.

People like me have asked for Nunes to play as the 6 since he has all the attributes to help but he tends to need 2 touches to receive a pass and that is a big no-no for a Pep 6. That's why Pep would rather use old man Gundo there. Pep is obsessed with control. Sometimes and IMHO, to the detriment of his team.

Just like I told the Zubimendi proponents, City's issues are not down to Cole Palmer or what he can bring.

He left, City won the league and played the FA Cup final drunk, otherwise, that would have been following a treble season, with a historic 4-peat cosplaying as an English Football double.

Even Pep himself admits the current squad would be at the same level of the last season's squad without the injuries.

City would be fine. We have some players like Oscar Bobb returning in January. Escheverri from River Plate will be Erling's deputy. Hopefully we sign a Bruno Guimaraes type player that is physical, can cover distance in pressing and can pass. Pep just wants his players back.

For the umpteenth time, Cole Palmer himself REQUESTED to leave City.

Cole wanted to know what his opportunities were looking like after the treble and Pep said he was going to have Riyad's minutes and then compete for more with the rest of the squad but he wanted more (starter) and offered to go on loan.

Pep said Cole was to stay and take Mahrez' minutes or leave the club outright as he would not entertain players going on loan when planning for the squad.

Doku (24th August) was not signed as a Palmer replacement. Doku was signed as a Mahrez replacement. Palmer left (1st September) AFTER Doku had come.

PS: No shade at Palmer. It worked out for everyone. He got to prove he could be the man (which everyone at City knew as Enzo Maresca has all but said) and City went on to win without him.

Pep was never going to build the team around him ahead of KdB, Erling, Foden or Rodri and Palmer is getting more minutes and clout in CFC than he would have ever got at City. Simple.
