In Re: Soulless Modern Football

Pep Guardiola’s glorious Manchester City can dominate Premier League for years to come

(Eurosport)

Manchester City produced a breathtaking performance of attacking football in the 6-1 drubbing of Huddersfield that suggests the Premier League is already a foregone conclusion...

Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City are defending Premier League champions and 2019 champions-in-waiting. You can probably already pencil them in for 2020 and 2021 such is the quality of this squad of multi-millionaires, who work, rest and play like they are chasing their next meal. 
...
Forget about Liverpool, Manchester United, Chelsea, Tottenham...launching some kind of title challenge. They are all playing for second place behind a City side that are showing remarkable similarities to Barcelona's 2011 Champions League-winning vintage under Pep. That is not hyperbole. This monstrous City winning machine are improving after hitting 100 points last season.
