5 Ways how Guardiola can break the decade long hoodoo

#3 New Arrival

Riyad Mahrez

The good thing about City is that they have managed to retain all the players from their title winning campaign. They didn't go out and spend lavishly in the transfer market unlike last season.

The only new arrival this season has been Riyad Mahrez. He is a top quality player with all the tricks up his sleeve. He was pivotal for Leicester in their title winning season and would love to add another league title in that list.

City wanted to get him last season but only for the bid to be rejected by Leicester. Now that they have their man, it only makes this already strong City squad even stronger.

About the author

A sports enthusiast and an avid follower of football.

Since childhood I was encouraged to play cricket and in no time it became a hobby. Gradually I found interest in other sports also.

Football is in my blood and I love the electrifying ambiance that surrounds it. I often watch the pre and post match analysis of a match and try to learn how to analyze a football game.

The thing that intrigues me the most is that there are so many things happening behind the scenes that are oblivious to our naked eyes. The technological advancements that has been made are phenomenal.

I like analyzing a game from a statistical point of view. Being a data guy myself , I am firm believer of providing insights through facts and data. Though a game is always unpredictable , analyzing it from different dimensions can provide some very interesting conclusions.
