Originally posted by El Fenomeno View PostCity have consistently scored more team goals and played the highest quality passing football of team in the country for years now (before that Arsenal), including the 2 title winning seasons.
United are categorically nowhere near the same quality of those 2 title winning teams, individually or collectively. Literally every position apart from GK they're less experienced and generally worse off.
I would still argue a lack of identity and cohesion. Due to Mancini being clueless realistically. He just bought talent and said go play. Pellegrini was a more astute tactition and had City playing much better.
Then with players like Nasri and Yaya who show up when they want but when they do, it was like an automatic goal outcome.
No club was on par like that. For those two seasons.
United are the same way right now. Like for real. Name a starter on that side who is actually terrible.
We get on Pogba all the time bu He's not actually truly terrible. I mean truly subpar.

Our tactics were spot on under Mancini for the most part. Yaya would still be an underwhelming holding midfielder without Mancini reinventing him.
United aren't the same way at all, the calibre of player and style of play is proven to be nowhere near as nice to watch or effective.
Herrera/Darmian/Smalling/Fellaini/Lingard regularly start. Even Rashford/Martial/Mata (1 top 4 finish ever is it?) have nowhere near the pedigree you'd need to win leagues. They're levels apart in quality from City even now, never mind the sides that won leagues.

I hope we'll sign Mbappe. I don't think I have seen a bigger forward talent emerge in the last 10 years, possibly with the exception of Neymar. The likeness to Thierry Henry is downright scary. If there ever was a footballer out there who was tailor made for everything Wenger aspires to achieve on a football field...
