That's what I was talking about earlier. When Touré and Silva were in charge of City's playmaking (not to mention they're excellent when it's their turn to score), things were more effective, more solid. Squarer? Nah, there was enough movement around them, particularly during Pellegrini's first season in charge.

Sidelining any of them is insane, because in addition to their "strength and physicality", as you correctly call it, they have MAD SKILLS! What better combination can there be?

Dude, Suárez EATS PEOPLE. As David Bowie said in
Zoolander, "Disqualified!".
In terms of predictions, we should start The Mighty Football Thread's 2016-2017 UEFACL Quarterfinals-to-Final Pool. And the prize has to be something truly awesome, like... a date with Maggie Gyllenhal. I mean, I'm sorry but Peter Sarsgaard is gay as heck, all due respect/no disrespect.
