Was wondering how they do it so well and sure it’s been that way since Sheikh Mansour bought the club. At other big clubs there’s a first XI that’s going to play most weeks with some squad players on the fringes when fit whereas at City I’ve noticed that they could probably field 2 good starting XIs from one week to the next and wouldn’t struggle. Like sometimes you’ll see Stones and Ake in defence then another game it’s Dias and Gvardiol, sometimes Akanji plays there. Been like that for quite a while remembering when it was 4-4-2 under Mancini and Pellegrini having Aguero and Tevez up front with Dzeko and Balotelli before Negredo and Jovetic as back up. Whenever someone gets injured it’s barely even a problem and they seem to know how to manage big players really well, bit jealous as a United fan as whenever one player is dropped, it’s such a big deal.
Noticed that the formation also changes as well quite often, for example
3-2-4-1 vs Chelsea
3-4-2-1 vs Bournemouth
4-2-3-1 vs United
Well 115 charges for breaking financial rules is a good explanation to your question. Players are happy because their wallet is happy. The quality in the second string is so high because they have unlimited cash. Plus all the cash we never see.

Who ever downvoted this -feel free to explain why ? Because he’s right -and you know it
Oh sorry, I didn’t know “charged” meant “guilty”
Do you think the etihad stadium deal was market value ? Do you think Mancini wasn’t paid under the table ? Do you think Man City have refused to co operate with investigations because they’re innocent? Ok
Yeah that’s totally the entire reason. Please enlighten us then, how can united have spent the same amount of money and are so much worse if it’s just down to money. Fucking idiot
