The Numbers Game – Manchester City

1,919 Comments
Share

Next up in our summer series of team-by-team analysis of the 2016/17 campaign are Manchester City.

We start by checking out the team performance levels over the previous campaign to look for any trends of improvement before assessing the Citizens’ standout individuals ahead of the 2017/18 season.

The arrival of Pep Guardiola helped the Etihad side up their points total from 66 to 78 last term, yet they finished some 15 points off the summit for the second successive campaign, claiming third position in the Spaniard’s first year in charge.

City also improved their goal tally, from 71 to 80, which was again the third best on offer, six behind Spurs at the summit.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    Please could I have your opinion on this squad? Changing Gayle to Jesus, Sane to TCarroll is alternate option I am looking at.

    Foster Myhill
    Trippier Cedric Lindelof Yedlin Dunk
    Willian Coutinho Ramsay Sane RLC
    Kane Lukaku Gayle

    4-4-2. Only thing I hate about this team is having Rosrnior and Fletcher on the bench.

    Foster
    Cedric-Lindelof-Kompany-Trippier
    Pogba-KDB-Willian-Alli
    Lacazette-Lukaku

    Bench:Myhill, RLC, Rosenior, Fletcher
