Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  Ka aha mēnā ka noho rātou ki te rima? He mahere nui pea a Manchester City ki te whakahou i te kapa i te raumati, me Yaya Toure me Samir Nasri i waenga i nga tupapaku nui, engari mena ka riro mai a Liverpool i a raatau i roto i nga whakataetae e ono e whai ake nei? E whā ngā tohu kei mua i a City, ā, he nui ake te rerekētanga o ngā whāinga, e ōrite ana ki te rima, heoi kāore e kore he ngoikore rātau. Mo te kapa e takaro kino ana kaore he rerenga-i roto i te mea ngawari, me nga whakataetae ki te Aston Villa kua tino pai ake, tae atu ki te Queens Park Rangers kaore e taea te tiro ki te pono. Ko Yaya Toure (pokapū) he atarangi o te kaitākaro i tuku i a Manchester City ki te taitara o te tau kua hipa. Ko Manuel Pellegrini (tuarua ki matau) e rere ana i te papa i muri i te whiunga o Manchester City e Crystal Palace. Ko nga hoa whawhai o muri mai o Swansea City me Southampton he iti noa te mahi mo <unk> engari kaore ano hoki a Crystal Palace. He mārama te mahere wā roa: Ko Pep Guardiola, i tana wā pai, i te tau 2016. Heoi kei hea te pa i taua wā? He whakarerekētanga o te hunga takaro, engari he iti noa nga taunakitanga kei te mohio a Manuel Pellegrini, te kaiwhakahaere whutupaoro ranei a Txiki Begiristain ki te tautuhi i nga whakakapi. I whakaarohia ko Eliaquim Mangala he akomanga rereke ki a Joleon Lescott, engari kaore e taea e te kaitautoko utu nui o te Pirimia te whakahau i tetahi waahi i roto i te roopu; Ko Stevan Jovetic ehara i a Carlos Tevez; Kaore a Fernando i te whakapai ake i a Gareth Barry, i a Nigel de Jong ranei. Kei te heke haere a Toure, engari he nui te mana o tana mana ki nga wa e rua i toa ai a City i te taitara. Ka taea e Pellegrini me Begiristain te whakawhirinaki ki te kimi i tētahi whakakapi e kaha ana ki te pānga o Toure? Kāore i runga i ngā taunakitanga o ā rātou kirimana hou. Ko Ihu Navas? Ko Martin Demichelis rānei? Ahakoa ko Fernandinho ehara i te mea pai i a ia i Shakhtar Donetsk. Kei te tatari ngā mana o City kia wehe atu a Pep Guardiola i Bayern Munich ki Manchester. A mehemea ka mau a City, ka whiua ki te Rōpū Europa? He aha te mea ka tupu ki tēnei mahere hanga anō nui? Tangohia atu te moni o te Champions League, ā, kāore te kaha pūtea o City i te nui ake i a Tottenham. Kua whakatangihia e Pellegrini...
