Zabaleta's been the best right-back in the league this season by a mile. He's not quick, but he reads the game well and contributes quite well going forward, too.
Milner's severely underrated, in my opinion. Works his arse off, plays various positions and has more quality than he's given credit for.
Aguero, Silva and Tevez are superb, Toure's virtually unstoppable on his day and Kompany's very assured.
Hart seems to have picked up a bit of England Goalkeeper Disease, making the odd uncharacteristic error, but he's still impressive.

The rest of the squad are generally of a high standard, but I'm not sure that there's enough pace in the side or a good enough playmaker at the heart of it.
Barry's not as bad as everyone makes out, but he's very slow and his passing doesn't make up for his shortcomings, for me.
Balotelli might have been a nutter, but he wasn't replaced and there were times when City lacked options up front when compared to Utd. Not when compared to us though, obviously! <laugh>

I didn't say England have the best teams in the world, just that the likes of City (and Utd) are world class teams.
In regards to current CL, I think this is first time where an English side wasn't in the last 8 for something like 15 years, so to me that signals English sides have always been up there with the best hence why I always consider the top 2/3 teams over here can be classed as world class... Of course I appreciate opinions will be divided on the matter but for me personally, City is a world class team, even if sometimes they fail to look like one.



I'd say Yaya, Silva, Aguero, Kompany and Zabaleta are world class. Tevez and Hart are also of a very good standard in my opinion. Nastasic looks like he could become really good too, didn't realise he was only 20 until a week or so ago!

I understand what you're trying to say, but I still can't buy the world class tag for this City side. Yes, they have 3-4 world class players, but a world class team? Not for me, sorry mate.

Nah fair play mate. We beat 'em anyway, that's all I care about :D
 
All they lack is a world class manager, the players are there, as many as all the elite teams have imo, they just need motivating and organising....and thats the managers job!
