I know city are an excellent side and keep ball like no other team....they seem to always have loads of time, rarely give it away and just grind teams down in a relentless manner.

 

But fuck me to not even win a corner at home....

One lesson learned after following football for a few decades. Next season wont necessarily be a repeat of the current one. Applies to City as well.

You then get cunts like these and United who clearly train their players to actually dive.

How to dive convincingly, how to initiate contact, tactical fouling in a defensive sense, how to make an opponent's foul look worse by feigning injury, etc. The growth of this type of shit - as you say, trained deliberately - is really bringing the game down for me.

But but he’ll stop Mane and Salah from scoring. What a load of shite.

This is some straw man bullshit.  We won the champions league and then followed it up with the league winning a ridiculous number of games and sealing it earlier than anyone has.  People quite rightfully were saying we’ve had the best attacking trio in world football for a number of years and sides couldn’t handle it.  Despite Firmino not being brilliant it was still working a treat.  Why the fucking hell would you want to mess with that?

 

Things have moved on since then and Firmino is now putting out stinkers more often than not and we are no longer beating everybody in sight.  I’m sure if you said to most fans would you want to replace Firmino with Haaland a lot of fans would be up for it.

Sorry, I think you've misinterpreted my sarcasm. The idea that a player who is poor the vast majority of games and offers no genuine threat to a defence and constantly makes the wrong decision in the final third is critical to us, is just simply wrong. 

 

Haaland would be an absolute superstar here, the fella is absolute, his finishing is a joke how clinical is, he's lightning quick and his movement and desire to get goals is just remarkable. There's no way our goals for the column would not dramatically increase with him replacing Bobby.
