Therefore Hardhaus Milner one of the key pieces in City attack – Dagbladet.no

MANCHESTER (Dagbladet): Defending champion Manchester City had few problems turning Crystal Palace 3-0 at home in the afternoon.

Wide Hang’s boss Neil Warnock was pissed after settlement because his team had been mistakenly canceled a scoring but it was never really doubt where the points came to end.

City came close horrible goal before the fire, but after the break they put into three online acquaintances, two of them signed David Silva. The Spaniard was also named game’s best player.

Important Milner

One who happily forgotten by such awards is James Milner. The 28 year old is not as elegant and technically brilliant as teammates Silva Samir Nasri and Jesus Navas, but with its extremely strong physique and racing capacity he is at least as important for the team.

– Milner had a very good game Today, says manager Manuel Pellegrini at his press conference after the victory.

The England worked – as usual – hard both offensively and defensively today and although he was not directly created as many chances, its more fotrappe team mate, he did so indirectly:

– Milner one one player who works hard, and some of what he does that is so important for the team is to create a lot of space for the rest. This week we have worked with a movement pattern where he constantly moves to create space for team mate. It worked today, says Pellegrini.

Contract negotiations

James Milner City contract expires this summer, meaning that he can start talking to other clubs about a Bosman- transition next year.

Milner and City are momentarily in contract negotiations, and Pellegrini believes that 28-year-old gets.

– I think we agree. Now there’s talk about some disagreements I think we agree on, he said yesterday, according to Sky Sports.

City boss was otherwise very happy with today’s victory. His team is now equal with Chelsea at the Premier League summit, but with a game more.

– I do not know whether this increases the pressure on Chelsea. The main thing for us was to get three points and continue to play this way, says Pellegrini.

– December is a key month. It is not now you do not win the title, but there are many battles in this period. We are in shape, and it is well nobody thought two months ago that we should go further in the Champions League and fight for the title. This squad shows why we won the title last year, he adds.

– Not only Silva

Pellegrini says that he had threatened the whole way today, although City not scored before the break.

– I think we were good today. I had all the way faith that we came to score. Although we did not score before the break, I think we played well. We had the patience to create space and we closed counterattacks their, he said.

When scorer Sergio Agüero was long injured recently said Chilean that no one is irreplaceable. Now he says it again – if current husband, David Silva.

– He is a very important player, but this team is not only Agüero or just Silva. If they can not play you know made how we work and how we should play. Without these two players are the other players who take the step up and answer for the team, he said.
