So simple

Errrr. He’s playing up top? Still. Imagine Woltemade or Wissa scoring that

Pep desperate for his old mate Arteta to get a league title.

Yeah. It’s that simple

Khusanov’s one on one defending is usually really good. Just still very raw and not helped by the makeshift back 4 and ridiculous high line.

How is Doku still on the pitch. Stinking the gaff up.

City are so boring to watch. Every time they get an opportunity to counter or attack space and maybe get Haaland involved. They just post up 30 yards from goal and set their horseshoe up. Followed by loads of boring sideways and backwards passing.

This high line for City is suicidal. Been let off 3-4 times already.

Man U have been very good in attack and on the break. All the space left in behind, the same as the first half on Tuesday. They’ve just exploited it better than we did, so far. City will improve late on with the subs again. Just depends if Man U are ahead by then or not.

If Doku had a brain. He’d be one of the world’s best wingers. Basically made the wrong decision all but 2 times. Got acres at times to go down the outside. But cuts infield into traffic or chops back for a backwards pass. Pepball.

They do seem a bit different this season. But with their previous, it’s highly likely they get the yips. Fingers crossed, anyway

I mean, not really?! Brendan Rodgers when he was at Liverpool and a few hilarious bits from Arteta aside. Who else has gone on like this in the Prem, for example? Russell Martin, maybe?

“Chelsea lot don’t seem to respect you. A lot of people have been laughing at the size of your gloves.” ”I’M NOT GONNA BE WEARING THE GLOVES.”

I think it is either him making a big song and dance about it and is happy to make a point of it. Or there is someone already sick to death of him and thought it was a bad appointment. Who is happy to go running to the press all the while. Agree on that last part. @Yorkie and I touched on it. When I was referencing how Rosenior was like the High Performance Podcast final boss. Howe definitely goes in for all that too. However, it doesn’t seem so overtly in your face or Brent-like. I can’t imagine him ever coming out with a line as bad as that ‘Man-age’ one, either. As someone else said. Just meaningless waffle.

I feel like stuff is getting leaked to the press to make LinkedIn Liam’s job impossible. Lego team bonding sessions and making a point of wearing no gloves. So his players can hear his applause

Depends. With the away end being all down one side. He might get even more abuse than he does at home games

Chump change, anyway. Matt Targett is on £500k a week.

Canadian it and save yourself the £2.50.

Jesus. Going back to the first post, I remember it. Hand on heart, I had it on in the car live. I couldn’t believe what he said. His half arsed apology after and all when he sort of made it worse. I’m sure he said the line. Then there was an awkward silence and he said BLACK AGA, again Mental.

Quicker than Nunes and more of a defender. Gordon had Nunes on toast 2-3 times before tiring.

5 minutes earlier. They also brought on a more athletic and IMO far better fullback, the current Balon d’Or holder and a highly rated CM who looked one of the best buys of the season earlier this season. They basically controlled that game from that point.

Yep. Not really a goal threat at all and just brings more workrate, with improved passing over most our midfielders. We can’t just rely on Bruno to set the tempo, build attacks, create and in recent months. Score the goals to win games. He really does do it all for us. What are the combined G+A’s for the rest of them in all comps this season? Joelinton with 3-4 goals, Tonali the odd assist, Miley must have chipped in with a few? Under or around 10 for 5 midfielders isn’t anywhere near good enough. Especially with how we play.

£100m to buy him back would be worse than £55m on Elanga.

Plenty of Brazilian league experts on here I reckon. Whether they’ve watched him or not. It will be a good deal and one we should have went for

Needs the Clare Balding lid back. Was unplayable that season.
