They had been flawless, it was a stage of high quality that I have never seen earlier than in Premier League soccer or any soccer for the final 30, 40 years.

“You all the time count on there to be a mistake in direction of the top of the season however there wasn’t. Each groups had been phenomenal defensively, unbelievable in assault, objectives galore.

“They’re a bit bit weaker, which makes the league extra attention-grabbing. These groups operating away with it would not do anyone any favour.

“There may be trigger for concern for Manchester Metropolis. They’re much less exact with their assaults. They rely much more on one participant, Kevin de Bruyne, than they did two, three years in the past.

“It feels wish to me, if they are not on tune, then they do not create anyplace close to as a lot. David Silva is a large miss, we knew he was an excellent participant and nearly the glue that related every thing collectively.

“He saved the circulation within the recreation and the rhythm and so they haven’t got him, they do not have Kompany, it is a altering staff. Definitely, they’re completely different, they are not pretty much as good defensively and so they’re not as exact in assault or as harmful in assault.

“They’re nonetheless an excellent staff however two years in the past was a magic yr and now we’re seeing a little bit of a drop off from that.”
