Game Clarity

Manchester City didn’t just beat Wolves. They fixed their biggest weakness.

@TouchlineX This Declan Rice hype is actually insane, you would think that he is prime Messi or Ronaldo. Apart from the energy to run with the ball and deliver corners, there is nothing special about Declan Rice, there are many Championship midfielders that does the same

🚨🗣️ 𝗡𝗘𝗪: Ian Wright: "If Arsenal win the Premier League, Declan Rice has to win Premier League POTY. And if Arsenal win the Champions League, Declan Rice should also win the Ballon d'Or. And if England win the World Cup, there should be a NEW trophy on TOP of the Ballon d'Or for Declan Rice." — @WeAreTheOverlap

Pep should have started Nico Gonzalez in midfield and retain O'Reilly at left back

The introduction of Ait Nouri into the first team in this match has somewhat limited City's ball progression, his positioning in different phases of the game has not been good, if not for Guehi, Burnley would have had free passage at the left hand side

City should have scored more goals against Burnley in the first half. Also, there is a concern on how easy it was for Burnley to create good chances, that shouldn't be happening because if Burnley had good strikers, they should have scored some goals too.

@crypto_Marvis @mancityfever2 That's true. Some of them are pressured by their agent to go on loan and get more playing time. They forget that they need to learn Pep system before breaking into it, not all players can play for Pep

@GameClarity @mancityfever2 The thing is Not all players see things like this Some would want to leave because they are not given playing time They don't want to stay and grow

Do you see Echeverri having a future at City? Be totally honest.

@FootballEra_ This is absolutely correct.

How do you spot an elite coach? Look at Pep’s usage of Doku and Semenyo — two different winger profiles with different strengths and weaknesses. Doku is a pure dribbler, creator, and game-breaking winger. Pep uses him in wide areas as an outlet to beat defenders and gain territorial advantage in the final third, which suits his strengths perfectly. His weakness is goalscoring, so Pep doesn’t force him into central zones where he’d be judged on output, he protects that weakness. Semenyo, on the other hand, is a transitional outlet, runner and goalscoring winger. His strengths are attacking space, running in behind, and finishing in transition, while his weaknesses are in tight-space creativity and ball manipulation. Pep uses him more centrally, closer to the last line, and relies on creators to find his runs, consistently putting him in scoring positions. He amplifies his strengths and minimizes his weaknesses. If both were at Arsenal, they’d be given the same rigid responsibilities, exposing their weaknesses instead of optimizing their strengths. That’s the difference. Elite coaches like Pep and Enrique platform their attackers. They don’t impose roles that clash with a player’s profile, they design roles that highlight strengths and hide weaknesses.

@AFTVMedia Well, if Arsenal plays that way against the remaining teams in the runin, they will be more porous at the back, concede lots of chances and eventually lose and draw some matches.

@GameClarity The attacking football we showed at City is exactly the blueprint. Five games to deliver it consistently.

Even Rooney wants to see us lift it 🥹🙏 Please, just make it happen, Arsenal

@FrankKhalidUK He is a nice guy

Give me one positive thing about Liam Rosenior?

@King_adba @FabrizioRomano The major problem is the owners, they want Brighton style while also winning trophies, they need to pick on, they cannot have both

@GameClarity @FabrizioRomano Its a pity cause even if he gets sacked, any new manager will still be stulked with these bunch of average and useless players

🚨 Liam Rosenior: “It was unacceptable in every aspect. I keep coming out to defend the players”, told Sky. “That was indefensible tonight”.

@Davidsolit36487 @King_adba @FabrizioRomano They are especially when you consider the big trophies that they have won in recent years

@GameClarity @King_adba @FabrizioRomano Chelsea is not a big club

@UTDTrey That was under a different manager with a pragmatic attacking style of play

So this same Chelsea side beat Barcelona 3-0😭

Enzo Maresca was doing well at Chelsea, won two trophies for them and was competing well but they still sacked him. Chelsea owners need to choose if they want to be Brighton and make profit off player sales or they want to win trophies but they cannot have both.

@King_adba @FabrizioRomano He will learn but the lesson may cost him his job and he may regret it for life because getting the opportunity to coach a big club like Chelsea doesn't come all the time

@GameClarity @FabrizioRomano Dont mind him. He thinks he was doing himself a favour by massaging their ego. Pampering players until he lose his job

@FabrizioRomano This clearly shows that there is a silent power tussle going on in the dressing room

🚨 Liam Rosenior: “You are playing for Chelsea, I am managing Chelsea and if you can't handle that, you shouldn't be here”. “That was an unacceptable performance”.

@now_arsenaI Arsenal signed a very good player who's injury prone. Man is always injured

🚨Riccardo Calafiori is set to return to full first-team training this week ahead of the game against Newcastle United on Saturday.

@InvertTheWing What did Declan Rice do to deserve best midfielder? This over hype is too much. You even left out Benardo 🙆

Premier League Awards: PFA POTY: Nico O’Reilly Best Centre Back: Marc Guehi Best Goalkeeper: David Raya Best Striker: Erling Haaland Best Midfielder: Declan Rice Best Attacking Midfielder: Bruno Fernandes Best Winger: Jeremy Doku Best Full Back: Nico O’Reilly

@Saylessboss This is spot on. This is not the time to take risks or play players that are off rhythm

Have been seeing a lot of Manchester City fans talking about rotating players for the Burnley match, and honestly I don’t get it. At this crucial stage of the season, you’re asking Pep Guardiola to rotate and rest players just because it’s Burnley? That’s not serious. We’ve got six massive finals left, and every single game matters. This is not the time to experiment or take risks. One mistake, one slip-up, and everything we’ve worked for could be gone and the same people asking for rotation will be the first to criticize Pep and call for his head. Dear @PepTeam , the only change that makes sense is bringing in Nico González for Rodri . Everyone else should be ready to play and give 100%. No team should be underestimated at this point especially not in the Premier League, where anything can happen. This is the business end of the season. No excuses, no complacency just focus, intensity, and winning every single game.

I feel sad for Rosenior. Young, modern coach with a good heart and mindset going through this difficult spell. However, he needs to step up, his tactics haven't been really good in recent games, also, the players didn't look like they were well motivated for this game.
