30 minutes in... So, isn't too early to write City off for the season?
All that money and this is the squad that they have put together????

I remember Guadiola.

Maresca is just not a good manager. If Pep couldn't get that team to win, I doubt Maresca can.
{Ed025's Note - he will be gone by Christmas imo Taurus..

I'm with Taurus on this, I can't see what Maresca has done to warrant getting that job. I'm happy though, as he'll take them backwards, hopefully.
Only reason I can see they chose him is because he looks like Pep, so it wasn't a big change. ?

Maresca sacked by Christmas. He's useless.

I'm with you Ed025 and FC8

They have a very good squad but their manager is not going to cut it. I agree with ED25 he'll be out the door come Santy.

I'm staggered that they let Rodri go and even more so at the reported price. I assume that he wanted to leave? Paying £115m for Anderson (good player that he is) and selling Rodri for a reported £65m seems, to me, that the valuations are the wrong way round.
Rodri's still got, at least, 2 or 3 seasons at the top of the pile. The most surprising transfer in a while and judging by the game against Arsenal, something Citeh may already be starting to regret.
