The opponents of Manchester city might face a less strong squad, as i could imagine that Guardiola do not want to line up his best players every week, to save them for the champions league matches
Rotation of players will definitely be done but I think there is still time to rest the main players to be more fit to play in CL later. Tomorrow's game will be one where I think City will still be chasing 3 points because the opponent at hand is Leicester, and I don't think Leicester can be underestimated. But yes, playing the main player tomorrow or not I don't think it will be a problem for City, because City are safe at the top and at least aiming for 1 point is enough.

Just imagine that Bruno had teammates which not miss 90% of the goal chance where he assisted? Rashford, Martial, Greenwood... that they were a little more skilful at the key moments, Bruno will be for sure MVP of the championship.
Such players do not exist and Bruno can not win MVP when 90% of his goals are from the spot-kick and disappearing against big teams. The real MVP singlehandedly carry their club to glory week in and week out, contributing to at least 80%. Jack Grealish in an average team is hitting 9-10 rating week in and week out.
Grealish aka Mr Aston Villa, this lad puts in a lot of work for the team we can't take that away and if you had more players like him for his team I don't think he would get those ratings you point out because there will be other options other than him.
So the perfect blend for a team is everyone having a weakness that will be supported by another team players strength to yield better results for the team, so let's just say it's not about solo brilliance but team work.

It was a really bad decision to sell Eriksen I think. Maybe his performance in the last season was not good but the older statistics of him was quite good. He was really helpful for the team. Now he is at Inter but he hasn't even scored a goal or made an assist in the Serie A so far in this season.
Eriksen has always been a good player, I bet him moving to inter wasn't at his own free will, probably an escape route away from Jose. We all know with Jose calling the shots expect one or two players to leave because he always wants those players under him to know who is boss which undermines some players as they are not appreciated for their work.

I think he was sold because of his persistence on the increment of his salary, I think Tottenham don't actually pay so much in salaries to their players, checking there weekly wages I have no doubt top players in there team seeking better pay won't remain, I don't think harry Kane and son are players that if there where to be at another team they might be payed more than they are getting at Tottenham right now.

I can not say that transfer is bad for Tottenham as same as what happened in Liverpool with Coutinho. It can be best for those players if they don't move. After transfers, if they come back, they won't get success most of times, Kaka and AC Milan is very good example.

Some bad transfers for great players are: Torres from Liverpool to Chelsea, Shevchenko from AC Milan to Chelsea, Griezman from Atletico to Barcelona.

The transfer they made did not look profitable enough for the team because Eriksen, who was predicted to bring the team to the title, still did not show any results.  Each club weighs very well the impact that will be obtained. Christian is very smart, he has quality, he is part of the project, and I'm happy he scored the goal. "

  "I really want him to execute him, because we know he has the quality of set pieces. However, I am still quite sure that in the future Eriksen will still have a good future in the world of football.

Very likely he was sent out because the Tottenham team was getting tired of his style of plays, he was really a joy to watch at his prime in Tottenham during the time of AVB as the head coach. His curling free kicks earned him  national ovations across the league. Players lose forms due to several reasons, I think his  at Inter is as a result of location and lack of motivation. I really enjoyed watching him play during the 2014/2015 EPL season. Though the season is almost rounding up he will likely get used to his teammates and start producing wonderful results, despite the fact he hasn't scored Inter is still topping the league.

Levy (Totteham boss) did not have too much choice as Eriksen will free in the next season if they don't sell him to Inter Milan or any other clubs. After a big successful season in a Champions League, internal problems occured in Tottenham and Eriksen did not feel happy in the club.

Back in that day, there are rumors that Real Madrid is one of big clubs want to buy Eriksen. At the end of that drama, only Inter Milan decided to buy him. By now, that is a bad decision for Inter Milan too.

Manchester United fans here Smiley and I am totally agree with this. Bruno is a great player but not good enough to win the MVP. By some miracle, he might end up winning the top goal scorer this season. Salah hasnt score in the last 5 premier league matches so it probably will be Bruno against Kane. Kane might not get on his best form with Son being injured so yeah Bruno might have some chances

Bruno is not deployed by Ole as a full striker he plays behind Martial and Rashford most of the time, so he will luckily only be scoring penalties and be jumping like a teddy bear Harry Kane on the other hand at his prime was running pass agile defenders and scoring spectacular goals though those goals didn't yield any effort to win him a trophy. But he is a quality striker, the only thing that detoriated his career is the departure of Erisken to Inter. If Sisioko is fit Kane will be banging in goals because most of the efforts wouldn't be on Ali alone, he will be distributing passes regularly to Kane. But Mourinho has a killing tactics. He prefers defence to attack.

Manchester United have completed team from forward and midfielder just looking for defender because many time Harry Maguire and his partner make fault and their team loss opportunity to get three points, many Manchester United legendary player talk problem on Manchester United now is on defender, how to get new defender to replace with Maguire.

I personally believe with Harry Kane, Kane has a stronger and more creative style of play in the field and that is very different from Salah and therefore in my view Kane deserves the golden boots. Just look at how Kane is more active and better on the field, because not only does he score a lot of goals but Kane is also diligent in making assist goals.


Kane is a top player but he has 0 trophies in his career & he’s 28 years old. He really needs to move to a bigger club & start winning things if he is to be considered as a great.

It is really bad for such a great player who has been playing awesome for years but still hasn't won any title. He is a world-class player surely and I also support the idea that he should go to a bigger club to win something. Maybe in the EPL again or in a different league...
Kane no doubt is top striker in EPL and been a consistent goal scorer and has been in a good form however being an English player I believed  English players had not perform well in other leagues apart from EPL the likes of Micheal Owen, Owen hagreave and David beckamp didn't replicate their fine form in EPL in those leagues. probably that is why Kane is hesitant  in moving there.
If a bigger club like Man Utd or Liverpool can sign him he will surely be a more profilic striker

Kane is a top player but he has 0 trophies in his career & he’s 28 years old. He really needs to move to a bigger club & start winning things if he is to be considered as a great.
He has to get out of Spurs and try his luck with another team so he can improve his skills. With the actual crisis, I doubt this will happen.
The problem with these talents moving to a bigger team is they don't get the same treatment. Some of these players with great potential will end up frustrated from not getting the play time they are used to in their former club. He's not a Ronaldo or a Messi that will have instant lead role in his new team.

I agree with you, sometimes good players like Harry Kane, if they move to a bigger team, don't get a lot of opportunities to play. Because usually
big teams have many rivals with almost the same quality, but one side is that Kane, who is no longer young, needs new challenges in his career.
In the end the decision is up to the player himself. But if I become Kane I will be loyal to play for the Spurs until I retire, because I think Kane
and Spurs already have a very strong bond.

Many young potential player loss chance by move to bigger club and they have loss opportunity with minutes playing and make them frustrated because without any chance to play, better for young player looking club have guarantee with minutes player although with not bigger club, this better how to make their career more better for the future before ready to join with bigger club.

Interesting to notice that in the top five scorers there is no one from Manchester City and this means that the citizens spread their scoring in every players categories. Manchester City also scored the most in Premier League (64 goals) and therefore all these guys are goal machines
Gundogan 12 goals, Sterling 9, Mahrez 9, Jesus 7, Foden 6, De Bruyne 5 and Aguero 1  Grin
Better to have many scorers in the team than mainly 1 guy. That's why City is the best right now while other teams depends a lot on the performance of their main striker.
Guardiola's hand is definitely visible here because this one of his major pros. He makes sure that the whole team is committed and that every player is highly regarded. Also, with his modern style, he has proposed an idea of a coach capable of transforming the imagination of the football world.
Great manager, really, nothing to add.

The first time I saw the top scorer also thought the same thing.  There are no names from the top 2 teams. I feel like this is a real performance from the coaches that make all the players able to contribute in scoring goals.  This is one great strategy and not necessarily applicable in all teams because this is a high-level strategy that must have extraordinary cohesiveness and an emphasis on selfishness in each player.  It takes extraordinary teamwork so that it gives all players the same opportunity.  It is much more interesting to have the Premier League Cup with all the players than to bring the Golden Boots home just for yourself and the team feeling disappointed.
Do not get me wrong there, also because usually those teams of who the top scorers most of the time are also leading in the standings: with Guardiola is not the case as the team is already very profilific in the terms of goals and also because of the high variety of players in different roles that score a big deal.

Interestingly I had Patrick Bamford at the start of the season, and nothing is done neither so I am still keeping up with him. I know that he has a lower chance to score the most, but Leeds is a team that scores a lot and has the famous Bielsa attacking mentality, so it is obvious that we may not end up with something that would be too wide of a gap at the end of the season.

I know Pat is not scoring every single goal, but he is scoring a decent number of goals and only 3 goals away from Kane as well, with the right few games he could actually go ahead a lot. Premier league do not have a lot of games with tons of goals but sometimes someone beats Southampton by 9 and that type of one game could make Patrick go further ahead of anyone else. Let's wait and see, I am not losing hope for Pat and think that he could actually end up winning it this year.
Leeds United has a good season but they have not been able to stay on the top. However, it is not actually bad result for them in their first season in Premier League. With the experienced coach (Bielsa) and the young squad, they can improve very much in next seasons.

The problem for Leeds United is prevent transfers of their key players. It happens for every small team when after one or two impressive seasons, they have bleeding transfers and lose key players to top clubs. After that they fail to replace them with other players and results fall down. Delegations are consequence of bleeding transfers.

About Bramford, it is a discovery of Premier League this year. He had some impressive matches in early of this season but how far he has gone so far is more impressive. We talk too much about Son Heung Min (Tottenham) but please see Bramford scores more goals than Son in Premier League. He plays for Leeds United, a much smaller team if you compares it with Tottenham. Only 3 goals less than Harry Kane.
