, it occurred to me how similar Manchester City are to contemporary Hollywood action movies and how I regard them in similar fashion.
Compare that with Indiana Jones, who could take a punch and definitely get hurt. Who definitely got scared or a bit worried. Manchester City aren’t John McClane or Ellen Ripley or Indiana Jones, heroes who showed that they were scared and vulnerable, but pushed on despite their fear and vulnerability.
The main attraction of football for me is the use of wit – original, quick thinking, the ability to do something your opponent didn’t expect and that perhaps you didn’t even plan yourself. Moments of spontaneous genius. As mentioned in a recent F365 article about Kalvin Phillips, it takes a long time to get used to Pep’s methods, where every pass is pre-planned on the training ground.
The last exciting City match I can remember watching was the 3-2 comeback against Villa last season, which I’m guessing became exciting because there were emotions involved – nerves at getting over the line in the title race. Generally, Pep’s football is free from emotion, wit, spontaneity, and as a result, entertainment.
One of these being namely Man Utd, Liverpool, Arsenal and the likes of Mr Levy trying to stitch up the system so they continuously stay at the top in perpetuity. They don’t care what other teams survive, only that they flourish and grow, to the point where they were quite happy to jump ship to a European Super League, and let their original host wither and fade away
I watched my first match at Maine Road in 1972. That season, Liverpool won the 1st Division. Over the following 18 seasons they won it again 11 times. Twice back-to-back and once, three in a row.
