Roughly €50m per year in the nordics I think three years ago for the Premier League. *massive typo originally

Spill the beans

nope

Would earn less than Neymar. Loser.

These are the type of signings the Saudis should be looking to make going forward if they’re serious. Sad to see, but it’s inevitable as long as there’s money.

For sure, however, My advice is that anyone unhappy with the start of this season should seek professional help.

Everyone is allowed to criticize whatever they want. It’s their right. That being said, I can’t for my life understand how some people are so miserable after a 1-0 loss to the best team in the world after all we’ve been through. People need to temper their expectations for their own well-being. We beat Villa 5-1 last week at home and didn’t exactly get embarrassed at the Etihad.

Frenkie De Jong starting at CB as well. No one taking the game seriously.

Not at all. The Butcher has never liked anyone though. His name suits his personality. And I like it.

You can’t stand tons of footballers. You seem miserable tbf

What a way to finish his career with a goal in the 95th minute!

Won’t matter. Will be banned from football soon enough anyways.

Paqueta diving in the 92nd minute even after the ref hasn’t blown the whistle makes no sense.

Nah, jokes aside I think he mentioned the other day that Thiago is a captain anyways and the armband was given to Reece and Ben with focus on the future. On the other hand Thiago Silva might outlast Reece James career if his injury record persists.

Had missed this. Pochettino has been an idiot ever since he benched Lucas in the CL final after scoring a hattrick in the semi’s. No one has ever had any trust for him since then.

Fair enough if you like your women with facial hair.

What I meant by this. Ederson and their mid killed our pressing.

That’s what chasing the other team does. Our pressure was dominated by their ability to keep possessionz City has this ability to control the tempo and flow of the game. It’s ridiculous, how Ederson will absorb pressure, release the ball to Rodrigo/Kovacic that are being marked with players on their backs and they’ll play a quick pass to the CBs who then opens play out to the fullbacks and all we do is run and chase shadows. As soon as we realize we are a few years behind the best team in the world the better.

Feel as we sometimes (or at least tonight) lacked movement. He would recieve the ball and players would stand still apart from Almiron hugging the touchline 50meters from him. Dont feel he had the same problem tonight as he has had in the past such as against Villa last weekend where he would lose possession because he kept dwelling on the ball and took 5-10 seconds to release the ball. Tonight it just felt as he had absolutely no one to pass to at times.

We judging him on goals now or did I miss something earlier in the thread? I mean, he has probably scored more goals for us than in his whole pre-NUFC career. We didn’t sign him to be a top goal scorer, we signed him to become a top club in the PL, which we are right now and a lot down to him and Trippier.

Agreed, first 15 minutes in the 2nd half was shambles. Man City are just a fantastic side and Foden was fantastic tonight. At the end of the day 1-0 loss away at the Etihad to a fantastic goal has to be accepted. Even Europes top teams would accept a defeat like this.

Funny as Tonali had more passes and higher accuracy last weekend and we won 5-1… Bruno was also rightfullt our worst player last weekendZ

I feel as Tonali gets off as he is new signing. He did absolutely nothing tonight and was subsequently subbed off in the 67th minute. Had to check some stats and compared to Bruno he lost the ball more, had less touches, won less duels and passed it wrong more in 67 minutes of play. Thought he looked amazing last week, but the midfield trio looked outclassed tonight (they are a better side, so well drilled tactically) and that was a largely because neither Joe or Sandro really got going.

Most touches, most passes, highest pass accuracy, most duels won, most fouls won and yet he was poor to some. He wasn’t fantastic by any means, but he was one of our better (or less worse) players tonight imo.
