The Technical Area – Man City’s Attack, Home vs Away

An unceremonious defeat at the hands of League One Wigan may have scuppered Pep Guardiola’s quest for a legendary quartet of titles but Manchester City’s Premier League form has been as strong as ever.

After sweeping five goals past Leicester in their final fixture before the FA Cup break, City have now found the net an impressive 79 times this season – a full 18 clear of their nearest rival, Liverpool.

With five attackers – Kevin De Bruyne, Raheem Sterling, Leroy Sane, David Silva and Sergio Aguero – all past the 100-point threshold in Fantasy Premier League (FPL), City have clearly proven themselves to represent our most reliable source of regular Fantasy points.

As 19,000 delirious Wigan fans discovered on Monday night, however, there is a marked difference between City’s form at home and on their travels.

In this latest Technical Area article for members, we will put this under scrutiny, with particular reference to the merits of keeping faith in Man City’s attacking assets.

    How does Willian not get 90 mins every week?

    The guy is different class!

    Would be one of my first names on the team sheet if I were Conte

    1. Rainer

      Conte fell in love with 352 earlier in the season, no spot for Willian.

    2. Rik Waller

      Had his chance at the beginning of the season and flattered to deceive

      Surely he will be hauled off early in the 2nd half he is looking like a real liability.

    Nearly man!

    I want Willian in my team...I don’t care if he plays 69 mins only!

    The Messi-Chelsea curse is real!

    1. ZeBestee
      • 9 Years

      They are not playing well enough to create any real chances for him.

      It's real until It's not

        Like Kane in August 😉

    So, experts here still think Conté has his tactics all wrong?

    1. Brosstan
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Yes, bring on Giroud and Morata and play 4-4-2

      Against United I would think so. No mid week fixtures next week to think about so next game not until 4 March

    Maybe it's just me but I find Barca style of play to be pretty boring

    1. dark91
      • 8 Years

      Yes it is just you 😀
      You mean today or in general?

    2. Rik Waller
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Yep, tika-taka never been exciting to watch as a neutral

      1. SW6
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        It certainly was when it first came around. Then teams got scared of it and started to just sit back and defend against it.

    3. FPL Blow-In
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      In this match most of their possesion has been deep and trying to draw Chelsea out. Chelsea are doing exactly what they should be.

    4. SW6
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      I don't think Barca's style is boring but I think how oppositions often play against them makes for boring games.

  29. dark91

    Conte deserves some credit for that 1st half performance. Only very few managers are able to play like this against Barcelona

    1. Syd.
      • 14 Years

      He certainly does. Chelsea unlucky not to be leading
