Kunal Bhandari commented on The Ideal Central Defender for the Modern Era:
Brilliant article Karl the final bit was the most important - great defences are all about great partnerships. Most partnerships have a like-with-unlike factor about them....
Kunal has yet to fill out a bio.
Kunal,
I didn't expect much from City coming into this season.
The signings in the summer were poor and the season feels haunted by disappointment. But remember: you're in the FA Cup, win it and it's a good season all of a sudden.
The squad needs an overhaul this summer. Need to buy a more agile CM and some proper wide players.
hiya man, thanks for reading and the comments. i do quite like schneiderlin, and wouldn'tbe disappointed if we signed him, but to me he'd be our competition/replacement for the first choice DM, not first choice himself. we'd still need someone else to come in IMO.
Tough to say man.
Amazing last year, terrible this year.
I personally think they've gone stale. Martinez leaving was HUGE, Llorente unhappy/not being used is detrimental to the squad harmony.
I also think Bielsa knackered them out with exhaustive tactics. It's a real shame.
Hey Kunal! Thanks for reading.
Mr. Pozzo's work is always fascinating, and it's arguable Barca use this system when desperate for a goal/face weaker opposition.

I think Napoli have the tools to give it a real go, I'd worry about Bayern though.
