Refs are so weird with Saka

Jesse Marsch’s jeans ???

Maddison assist. Get him in.

“It’s all because they’ve spent loads of money”

I thought Ten Hag was supposed to be some sort of master tactician. He’s brought Harry Maguire on up front ffs

The prospect of Big Dan Burn at a world cup makes me laugh

More or less, aye. Creating more danger for your own team or moving towards your own goal.

From centre backs, only Ake ahead of Botman on xThreat from passes (basically how dangerous their passes are), and Man City players are always at an advantage from how much possession they have. Amazing. Trippier

Doesn't look like a footballer at all Proper little tank. And bloody hell. Is Mbemba good now?

In general the biggest problem with journalism in this country is that access takes priority over truth in every way. Can't get access without disproportionately representing the interests of the people giving you the access.

I think that's a good assessment, yeah. To be honest I think Howe is using a lot of Liverpool 2018/19 - 2019/20 as his blueprint. There's a few tweaks obviously because we commit an extra midfielder (sometimes 2 extra!) to the attack rather than both full backs, but the off the ball stuff and press is really similar.

It really is time for the football community to start accepting that he's the best right back in the world at the moment to be honest

If Southgate was there today to watch Wilson then you'd have to think he'll take him after that, like. Unless he was there to watch Mings. In which case

Trippier is top of that chart every week. It's crazy how good he is.

He makes the same runs that De Bruyne and Bernardo make for city. Getting better all the time at it too.

How did Chris Wood make it pro

This second half has been sensational. Howe put a rocket up them!

Imagine if every time Murphy hit the post he'd scored instead. He'd actually be good.

So unlucky Cal. What a leap

Still shocks me every time he does this

Fabian Schar is untouchable this season. No one gets near

Willock really left his shooting boots in 2021

Taking the piss checking that for so long mind

It's the only natural position to put your arm when you're sliding for the ball like he was. You can't do that and have your arm down by your side. Not saying it's not a penalty, like.
