Almiron is useless against the good teams in the prem. He was embarrassing against Liverpool and has been poor today as well. Works hard but there's just no end product. 1 goal this season and 0 assists ffs.

You should have stopped at Almiron is useless.  Never EVER seen anything in him at all.  The hype when he arrived was also puzzling.  What has he ever done?

He's a liability going forward as well constantly loses the ball

Careful the step over nonces will hang you for that.

Sky's build up is unwatchable these days. Obviously the voices can often be the problem but Christ it's adverts after adverts. There's three adverts in the HT break as well now isn't there?

 

Even the bits that aren't adverts is just them advertising their other programmes. Though there was a 'private' joke shared between the pundits which everyone missed, I suppose. Quality broadcasting.

Tactical fouls incoming

Well the commentators say different. Say they have been all over us. There are just so many meh players offering nothing in the team. Im not angry in any sense.. 

 

 

 

They have been all over us but we haven't been bad. The reason they have been all over us is because they are a vastly better side.

 

I didn't come into this game expecting anything else.

And still not our worst forward out there. Too foreign for you?

Scored our best goal by far this season.

Harsh

 

Not the most talented but yet scored a great goal the other week and really works hard tracking back and contributing all over the pitch.

So the HT experts in the Norwegian studio essentially says ASM is to blame for almost all chances created by City as he doesn't pay attention and leaves tons of space on the flank for City to utilize and expose.

That baby doesn't need ear defenders. The crowd needs a microphone though.

 

Must be for the pumped in 'atmosphere'.

Same in Sweden, Freddie Ljungberg stating that even if ASM isn’t a defensive minded player you still need some kind of defensive awareness. Just a far too easy goal to give up on this level.

On the international feed we got the goals and chances then the goals from all the other games and then an aged Wes Brown talking us through a Man Utd vs Liverpool match from 2008

[STM]

Was that Lascelles getting rinsed? Again?

Won the league in Argentina and the US. Named Best Newcomer of the Year in the MLS and in the Best XI two years running.

 

Doesn't mean it would translate to the PL but enough there to feel excitement, especially seeing youtube videos him back then.

Not at all.  I think he's useless.  Got a problem with that?

[WillingtonMag]

Sorry like but Almiron isn't good enough for us, aye he scored a good goal and has showed flashes of talent but across a season not enough. 

[The Prophet]

Almiron is limited, but he isn't a wide man. I'm not really sure where he fits in. While Lingard is better, I think we'll have the same issue.

Nope, up to you. Is nobody else useless though as you only ever seem to mention him?

None of them are good enough for us apart from Bruno and Trippier. And probably Wilson.

[STM]

Joelinton having a decent game.

We'll score 3 in the 2nd half man. Wilson double and a Tripp's screamer over the wall. 

Got the dog out ( B & W collie) and she's just curled one out. 

I read the future in the pile of turd she left 

 

That's just Chris Wood mate

Eh?  I think it's the first time I've had a go at him actually.  Are you mixing me up with someone else?

[Pata]

Obviously ASM isn't good defensively but I don't think there's a winger in the world that tracks that run by Cancelo on the first goal. Even if someone did track it, stopping it would be almost impossible as you would need to cut the pass before it hits Cancelo's head.
