As the 2016/2017 English Premier League Season has wrapped up, I feel obliged to post about how my team, Manchester City did this campaign. For the first year in charge of City, Pep Guardiola finished his first ever season without winning a trophy. A major disappointment for most City supporters and critics of Pep but there were plenty of positives on the season.
The two youngsters in Leroy Sané and Gabriel Jesus were majorily influential in their first seasons at City. Sané scored 20 goals in all competitions while Jesus scored 8 in the 10 appearances he had all season. In addition, Sergio Aguero bagged 25 goals making it 4 seasons in a row scoring 25 or more which is quite impressive for the Argentine.
Besides the individual break through performances, it was apparent that the system that Pep was trying to implement seemed to be showing by the end of the season. With the departure of likely veterans and the arrival of new players that will better fit his system, next year should be one of silverware once more.
