The problem with this City team is missing someone like De Bruyne, who is their best player, makes absolutely no difference to their results. They have so many creative players to compensate that they barely need him. They now also have so many centre backs that anybody getting injured there also means practically nothing.

 

Their only real achilles heel in the squad is they only have two strikers and they have to do the false 9 thing if Aguero and Jesus are unavailable. But even then, they can get away with doing that most games.

Yeah.

 

The depth is insane.

 

They also seem to have a fear factor over a lot of teams that despite our superb form over last two years we don't quite have/it isn't as widespread.

 

They've also become more defensively solid now, whicg has made a difference for them, they are probably slightly less potent as a result, but they are better off on balance.

Question is do they know how to attack.

Its going to take the clubs putting pressure on  the authorities in order to get var scrapped or refs replaced.

Everton's away record at Leeds is worse than it is at Anfield. That takes some doing.

[Stickman]

Sick of all this shit you can’t even enjoy a win because your immediate thoughts turn to who’s missing the next game 

[johnsusername]

Fuck off Leeds.

[Mike D]

Peter Walton is a fucking cunt.

Good on them, they know it’s bullshit but it’ll carry on. As much as Chelsea and City have ruined English football I dread to think how many titles them manc cunts would be on now without them.

Leeds' ability to monster sides like Leicester in their own backyard then lose at home to utter shite is remarkable.

Villa?

I see the Premier league have looked at the two ridiculous red cards this week and overturned the one that had no bearing on the result (Bednarak) and not the one that probably did have an affect the result (Luiz).

But Mike Dean not sanctioned? Previously when a ref fucked up like that, they'd be confined to the Championship for a couple of weeks. Maybe that's an indication the EFL refs are worse?!

[TheDrowningMan]

It’s going to be very, very hard to finish above Chelsea now they have a competent manager; Tuchel isn’t great, but you don’t have to be to do well with that squad. Likely four points behind after tonight, and very probably ahead ten days from now given our next two games. Looking at their fixtures, there’s nothing challenging until they host Man Utd on the last day of the month.

It could mean they're better and won't be seen as a punishment to send EPL refs down.

Worse than this lot ?  The teacher from Kes is better.

[Baltar]

If it's any consolation after the Brighton result, it's that we're not as bad as Spurs.

The slightly balding Charlton to kick off in that important cup tie?

Are you trying tell me about football? Haha the best.

Nice little news story imo for the youngsters. 17 year old Indian kid being paid a couple of bob to be an analyst for a Scottish football club. He sounds a good kid too.

 

 

 

 

Edit.. but obviously not a good news story if you happen to be the chief sports journalist for the bbc in Scotland. Talk about bursting the kids bubble.. what a killjoy.  

 

 

 

[Gnasher]

Just had a quick look and Chief BBC sports reporter for Scotland Tom also has another three jobs yet questions the pay of a 17 year old kid. Nice. 

 

Edit.. Seems you get a kinder press if you go the other way.
