This new City team are extremely solid, having seemingly gotten the balance right between shutting opposition down and opening them up. The recent stats say enough: one goal conceded in this run of nine successive league wins, 21 scored. They’ve only conceded two in total since the last defeat, November’s supposedly landmark 2-0 loss away to Tottenham Hotspur. It wasn’t the start of a spiral for City, as some in the game had expected. It was instead just the unsteady initial steps of a new way of playing...

I love Dyche, think he's brilliant and done an amazing job at Burnley. The only thing is that his football is only suited to a certain level and he's pretty much at it. He's kind of an honest Harry Redknapp (oxymoron I know) who plays attritional football. That said, the fella we have in our manager's office is just a cantankerous, unlikeable version of Sean Dyche at the moment.

Is his football only suited to a level or does he play effective football to suit the budgets and players he has

It's a fair question but I can't think of many managers who have changed their style to suit a level (you may correct me). Reminds me a bit of Moyes. I recall a lot of mates saying Moyes would be great at a top club based on his Everton record. It ignored the percentage football that he played and his awful away record to the big teams. Those are many of the same people who ridiculed Moyes up to this year though when the truth was that he was always a very good manager. Same with Dyche for me although I'd be delighted for him to prove me wrong.

From what I’ve read, we could’ve signed Grealish for £40m after Villa got relegated but Levy lowballed them with £25m offer...

And we agreed personal terms with Fernandes only for Levy to annoy Sporting Lisbon’s chairman by making the transfer fee conditional on lots of add-on clauses...

True, but that was a lot of money at the time and it’s true to say that Grealish was more potential at that stage and we had a firing Eriksen.
