There is no stopping Manchester City. They are going to retain the English premiership.
They have the best coach, the best players, and the best tactics and guess what a fancy jersey.
Manchester city won the league last season and have strengthened the team in anticipation of the coming season. The addition of Riyadh Mahrez means a frontline that is having more than enough quality. We saw what Mahrez can do last season and he will only improve under Guardiola. It means competition. You know that if you are not up to standard you will definitely be benched.
Manchester city will be happy that Mendy is fit and back and will like to buy a defensive midfielder and another left back to complement an already complete team.
In attack they have Leroy Sane, Kun Aguero, Bernado Silva, Raheem sterling, Gabriel Jesus, Riyadh Mahrez, David silva. Show me a better attack. The only attack that might be close to this is Liverpool Muhammed salah, firmino, sadio mane, shaqiri or Arsenal Aubameyang, Mesut Ozil, Mkhirtaryan, Lacazette, Alex iwobi.
Let us move to the midfield. They have the technical energetic Kevin Debruyne who was one of Premiership best players last season. In addition, they have Ilkay gundogan, fernandinho, fabian delph. This is a position they will look to bolster. They lost out in the race to buy Jorginho who moved to Chelsea recently. They have a good defence too with the likes of Kompany, Stones, Walker, Mendy, Laporte that can be relied on to cover Ederson in goal.
Aside the squad, their style of play is exquisite. The possession football tikitaka masterminded by Pep Guardiola is good and the best so far. It makes sure oppposition sits back and aim to counter. However, with the attacking players on display, much harm would have been done before the opposing team get a goal.
The stage is set for Manchester city to win their second title in a row. The only opposition team that might give them problem is Liverpool and Manchester united. However, it is inconsistency that will give both Liverpool and Manchester united team problems. The liverpool team is well know to falter against smaller teams while Manchester united coach Jose Mourinho tactics is often counter productive some times. This is where Manchester city excels. pep guardiola rarely loses to smaller teams. he makes sure they are well beaten in anticipation for the big teams.
Only time will tell, but it is Manchester city that will win the English football league next season.
