The College Dropout

Glasner has a history of falling out with boards. Man U would end in tears.

Aye the quick ball playing ones usually struggle with a high line with lots of possession

Dalot?

It’s Bernardo an Rodri with Cherki at the 10 having replaced Foden no? Beenardo and Rodri aren’t the same players of 3 years ago. Rodri will be remembered as one of the worst Ballon D’Ors ever.

Can’t underplay how much not having European or cup football is advantage for Man U in the league. If they don’t get champions league it’s a massive failure

We were tired. And tbf City are tired today.

Awful. No control in midfield. No quality out wide today. No imagination through the middle. Exposed at the back. We can beat their B-team by 3 next month

It’s the premier league away from home. We play our strongest team whatever Howe thinks that is.

Yes we are in a spot of bother with Anthony so he needs to ride the bench.

Fans punching the air at ‘losing’ £45m

Fucked up that Schar & Burn have picked up impact injuries. They were bullet proof last season (more games this season aye but these arent muscle injuries)

Think first feared might've been out for the season

Agreed. If they are competent, it does help having people that really know a football club, in positions of power. When Guehi leaves it will be the least "south London" the club has been in living memory.

Football fans are weird cucks. Palace might fall off a cliff this season. They look tired. Manager is fed up. Captain is leaving. I don’t like their recent business either. Brennan Johnson & Pino aren’t Palace wide men. They need to get back to their DNA

He’s gotten better aerially over time. And is no worse than Schar in the air. I actually think he would be great for us. Particularly as a leader. His composure. Taking responsibility. Concentration. I like Thiaw and Botman. But I don’t think either have the leadership and that bit of mental steel that Schar and Burn have yet. Now obviously both are young and will develop. Burn improved as a CB well into his 30’s imo. Guehi has those characteristics naturally though. Good enough footballer and defender to be of value to pretty much any team in the world. Maybe not always as a starter. But as I keep saying 3rd and 4th choice CBs at CL clubs play a lot of games. Generally I don’t like centre backs that don’t win their headers. But I think mentality is more important. If we are to move on one of Burn or Schar in the summer I might prefer a slightly older replacement say 25-28. Or get a slightly older GK.

Yep. It's as bad as it's ever been for them in terms of recruitment strategy post-takeover. For some reason they've largely stopped going after the best or close in the world market and keep punting on more middling targets for still massive fees. At a point didn't they have Mahrez, Sterling, Sane and the 2 Silva's in the same squad? Plus KDB, (a fading but still great) Fernandinho, Rodri.

I do hate how Man City have been able to spend more in this rebuild. Ferguson went 4years without a league title in the 00’s if I remember correctly? Maybe 3. Invincibles. Mourinho 2x. In that time let some player projects fail. But also developed the next gen in Rooney and Ronaldo. City? 4 windows of massive signings. Basically wrote off most signings within 6 months. Savino? Finished. Marmoush? Finished. Khusanov? Finished. Unlimited spending.

Froggy ruining NO again

Yeh Gray is rated super highly. His development has been rocky due to how he’s being used.

163 PL appearances, 38 goals. Half the goals in one season.

Had scored 10 premier league goals im his entire career prior to that season and has scored 9 premier league goals since. Pedigree.

Everything is coming up Eddie

Heresy.

Chelsea want a manager to develop players to sell. Alonso will go to a club that wants to win or at least genuinely challenge. Liverpool, Bayern type job.

Don't get into it with Froggy @KaKa he's a WUM
