Obligatory Schar 5 minute delay.

Good pressure Big Joe. One more now and we can hold on.

Joelinton needs some new boots, always slipping mid turn. Happens so often with him.

I hope Southgate is there. Wilson is everything Kane isn't. He's got to stay fit and if he does he needs to be in the Englans Squad.

Yess man!!

He wanted £65m we were only willing to pay £30m so Man City got to him instead.

Oh wow!! Almiron....

Good recovery from Botman after his terrible touch/clearance

That Schar foul is certainly a yellow though!

That's 100% a yellow card if Brunos is.

Why the fuck isn't Grealish there to see it.

Making it easy for them. One ball into the box and that's the game over in 6 minutes.

Wtf is that. Why is he left alone

Koulibaly off.

Could also be seen as foolish and stubborn. We'll have to wait and see.

Grealish injured then? Or just mentally injured by the nightmares of facing up against Almiron.

Disappointing Targett isn't back. Must be worse than just a dead leg, or it's a horrifically bad dead leg.

I don't like Man Utd but I am wondering whether Chelsea will get the same amount of shit and if the media will cover every second of the aftermath of this game if Leeds win 4-0.

Leeds much better than Chelsea were expecting clearly. Gallagher looks a little lost and Harrison has been fantastic. I know which I'd prefer on this showing.

We do, so why pay the extra for Pedro if he could do wonders with Sarr for roughly £5m less? I know age is one reason and perhaps Sarrs attitude/personality is something they've looked into and decided against. However if we are really penny pinching and walking away from deals for the sake of £5m/10m then it seems an odd decision to overlook Sarr in favour of Pedro assuming both were ever options.

That's more to do with the manager and his tactics/attitude though. I'm saying is Sarr the better player and potentially cheaper. Yes he's 4yrs older than Pedro but does that just mean he would be able to make an impact quicker than Pedro would do.

Are Villa getting the better deal with £25m for Sarr. Only time will tell I suppose.

Stupid thing to say if he didn't have some idea it was correct. Wouldn't do much for his reputation much good if untrue. Not saying I belive him ofcourse and I won't belive it until he's signed officially, as usual.

Two ways this can go. We can either say fuck it and just continue to play how we want to play regardless of the fact we are playing Man City and just see how that goes OR you change your game plan and tactics to suit the team you're playing to try and nullify them and stop them playing how they want. I'm convinced Howe is the kind of manager that will almost always go for the second option. Guardiola is the manager that 99.9% of the time goes for the first option. Neither is necessarily the correct way and only in hindsight can you ever really know which is best for a specific game. I know that obviously teams tweak their gameplan every week depending on who they are playing but Man City are perhaps the one team in the Prem who you approach ENTIRELY differently to any other you play in the league.

Where have you seen that? Thought it was Leeds who were interested in Sarr.
