If Longstaff starts and you have any negative feelings please direct it to the manager, not the player

Tricky one. We could get the three points easier than expected, or we could just suffer heavy loss. Fulham has a relatively new setup which makes them a bit inconsistent atm. Hope we capitalise it

Whilst I understand what you want to illustrate but the brutal reality is 1. It’s Longstaff who carried through injuries in order to carry us last season, not the other way round 2. We even have no PSR capacity or excellent youth prospect to replace Longstaff, a player you deemed not good enough 3. We have to consider players eligibility for Europe competition, which you simply cannot buy one from the market to replace Longstaff I am sorry, it should be us who should be grateful that we have Longstaff now

40m is a fair price. I just ain’t sure CP would accept our bid - they might even prefer to sell for less money to Liverpool due to ego

I don’t even fucking know why would I be accused of that, when I was saying all those insulting / over criticising Longstaff should fuck off in the first place. I can only assume some are having a great smoke at daytime

You even don’t know how to read. Just go to bed or fuck off my arse. Chasing Longstaff out of Newcastle? I am doing the opposite! Are you having single digit IQ?

What in the actual fuck are you taking about? Chase local lad out of a club? Are you smoking? Jesus

go back to the pre match thread whether there are so many pages questioning the selection jesus fucking Christ

It’s Howe who choose the start Longstaff over Tonali. If you are disappointed about Longstaff then you should rightly question the selection, instead of insulting Longstaff to that extent. Longstaff gives his all to the club, carried through injuries, never hide from any dangerous tackles. I am with Heron. You guys should all fuck off. Spreading negativity my arse. What about the posts above? What about those in Joelintons thread? Just because I pointed out it’s Howe who make the decision and then you can smash across my face? Go fuck urself

People aren’t allowed to blame Howe, simply as that

To be honest if we could lose 10 points just due to not meeting the PSR requirement, then surely Man City should face something like 1000 points punishment?

I just want to point out that Howe has changed the pressing formation - Bruno didn’t press that forward like last season, instead he stayed at the back and didn’t expose the space (yet) He is obviously tweaking our tactics based on last seasons experience

The first thing he has to do is question himself why the hell would Tonali be benched for Longstaff

yea of coz he can still contribute - or else he won’t have any sales value. just look at how and when Real Madrid get rid of Casemiro.

That probably explains why he is on the bench - he needs to be at LW, and Gordon preferred position is also LW.

When did we become Manchester United?

Madness game

Why would we sign Osula when we won’t play him even if Isak and Wilson are not available?

WTF are we doing here

should be stop playing so many favourites

Almost goal of the season

I would say the fucking FFP/PSR ruin the league more than Man City And also everyone have to agree that Man City in return provided a lot of talents to England national team and other lower clubs as well, by investing heavily in youth training. They have done more good and bad to football as a whole.

Imagine we get a loss tonight

Normally I would agree with you but considering 1. How he had power struggle with Bournemouth management which resulted his departure 2. How Ashworth was kinda forced out due to unable to work with Howe, if report is true the struggle with Mitchell will make it 3 out of 3 to me. I don’t think the benefit of the doubt lies on Howe side, unfortunately

Mitchell is the latest appointment by PIF, and together with the arrival of Bunce, departure or Staveley, he must have PIFs backing at this moment The only way Howe could turn this around is to have some magnificent achievement this season, so great that PIF willing to alter their preferred structure again
