Lets face it - we're missing POGBA

It is a system that can be got at and it looks like teams have figured that out this season when playing Chelsea, for example.

------------------------------------------------

I've always maintained from watching Juventus in the Champions League that it can be got at if you've got good wide players and full-backs although in Chelsea's case when they were beaten by City, the full-backs weren't really used to create overloads in the wide areas like you'd expect, they played narrower than usual which allowed De Bruyne to drift wide and cause havoc.

The other way is what Palace did by having two very quick players get in between the back 3 and drag them all over the place.

He's been eating his weetabix, that lad... I always knew he had alot of talent, but he has been truly world class, of late. Some of the passing has been out of this world.

Like Hazard of last season... He can propel City to glory.

Hopefully one of our boys will step up and start tearing it up too...

Yup, looked like they were getting in behind the WBs quite a bit as well.

Yeah we really need somebody of a similar calibre in the midfield or one of the wide births.

He's just magnificent, unfortunately.

We'd need to spend an awful lot to sign someone of that effect.

At least £90m if we finally want a top midfielder at the club.

Probably more to get a Kdb.

Nah, just have to buy the right player, KDB wasn't as influential as he is now when city first got him.
