  1. Something has been missing since the break. Job done mental switch off could be it Yep, who’ve missed a chance to put everything into another cup for a change. Everything has gone down a fair bit, it’s very weird, way beyond and below a few draws last season
  2. Of course it’s worth winning. We’d given ourselves a great chance not to have to make tough calls between league and others and sadly let it go with a whimper
  3. Started to resemble a team half on the beach, poor concentration, poor basics, and nobody able to raise their level on the pitch to pull the side through, particularly in midfield. With league done, missed a once in a career chance to do something era defining, but most worrying this was something else to get motivated to play for, but so so flat and sloppy, again
  4. Barely that. It’s lazy which is worrying. The Barclay goal was the second time in 5 mins he completely sold himself with Giroud going for a flick on and took himself out of the game by standing in a pointless place. So far off the level we need it’s terrifying, and getting worse not better with games.
  5. Missed that, but just googled it, doesn’t do either any favours to get personal. Maybe Liga chief sees it as part of his job to publicly lobby against City & PSG owners, and maybe UEFA would be strident without the lobbying, don’t know, but it should be rules yes or no, not club v club or Liga v City
  6. Indeed, David Conn gets a lot of City influencer types trolling him with accusations/insinuations that he’s got an issue with Arabs
  7. They’ve all but refused to acknowledge the UEFA process short of trying to have it halted at CAS. So maybe they’ve got that angle covered or maybe they’ve got nothing else beyond claiming illegitimacy & bias and all this is bluster as the facts are against them.
  8. Unsurprising there’s a lot of, ‘the club must have the goods and now are going to make UEFA grovel for their bias and take FFP down in the process’ takes from City fans. Reminds of how we as a fanbase thought there must be evidence that cleared Suarez such was the confidence coming from the club, but in the end there wasn’t and never was, just standard siege mentality
  9. It’s pure mob behaviour, they won’t acknowledge the right of UEFA to even question them let alone judge or sanction them. Offered no defence beyond ‘you’ve got no right to do this’
  10. Lukaku, Young, Eriksen, Moses, it’s like 1996 in reverse
  11. They planned for him to move back at the start of the summer as Kompany’s replacement, he’s been training at centre back from preseason with Rodri & Gunda being their main holding midfield options now. Think you’re probably right about them thinking he didn’t have another CM season in him, but these are the choices they made
  12. Happens, City can take apart anyone if you don’t put pressure on their defence. 1m of injury time? Was that genuine or the officials treating like a school game?
  13. Which will please the French lads no end
  14. I know, what the hell was that. Bizarre and dumb
  15. They look a long way off Wolves in terms of set up, no real plan for either stopping their build up play or breaking them down. It’s like the MU coaching is struggling to get even their own basics agreed, let alone deal with what’s in front of them. Can see why they’re just desperate for a playmaker to just give the ball to and sort it all out with the talent they have in attack
  16. More about the general chat of who’s the best of the young English midfield players, we don’t really play with such a player
  17. Looks good but needs more end product has been pointed at Grealish. Putting up numbers consistently in a struggling side now, 6 goals & 6 assists all last league season in championship, matched that already in the PL. Personally think he’s got more to his game overall than Maddison and Mount, can at least match raw numbers whilst carrying the ball with a lot more threat
  18. Alisson Clyne Matip Lovren Fabinho Keita Wijnaldum Oxlade-Chamberlain Lallana Shaqiri Salah All have missed time & multiple games due to injury Van Dijk Gomez Milner Henderson Bobby Robertson Have all been doubtful or missed the odd game It’s another nonsense narrative that comes down blaming their season on missing Laporte and Sane (who was on his way out) Worth 20 plus points a season apparently
  19. Some saying he stepped over it and it came just off the SU player
  20. Was there definitely a touch?
  21. Sheff Utd pulling big holes. Another offside that looked level keeps it level, and poor finishing. This looks a tough ask for City unless they can get ahead fairly soon
  22. If they’ve got clearer and more definitive images they should release them, I’ve seen them in real time arbitrarily redraw the lines thar changes the call from the first attempt. It just doesn’t look to have the accuracy they’re leaning on it to have, to be able to tell fine margin line decisions at that distance with these frame rates.
  23. I don’t think you can tell that from the still
  24. There’s no way the VAR can be as accurate as they’re claiming when drawing those arbitrary thick lines at that frame rate. Most of these close calls should be deemed as level within margin of error. Whatever accuracy they’re claiming is bobbins
  25. Screwed with lots of FPL teams, but standard BR and you can see his logic, with two vital cup ties ahead from next week and a big lead to the 5th placed team in the league, why not now?
