Dias manhandled there

You sure lad? Heard Cresswell knows how to treat a lady lol

If Grealish lost the accent he might have a chance.

Two things:

1) What is the Sky obsession with Antonio all about?

2) Really hate these on screen graphics with the player's faces, walking about all that inro nonsense. Give me the names and the shirt number. I'm not looking to date any of them.

You mean you don’t want to see players in an artificial green screen environment ‘celebrating’, pouting or pointing at the camera?

Me neither, it’s really cringeworthy. The Man City line up looked ridiculous with 3 players arching their neck as though they’re looking at their phone after the screen has rotated.

That's Fred dropped from my fantasy squad.
Daft name anyway.

Yes, mate. I can't stand a single part of it. Thing that gets me, more than anything else is that nobody asked for it.

Not one person who watches togger said their enjoyment of the "product" would be enhanced with a bunch of pantomime faux-hardman glaring.

I'm only watching this on a little river because Mrs. Bohemian Toffee has taken over the tv and is watching the Food network.

City playing 2-3-5 here

 

[dublinbluenose]

How is that not a booking

 

[Bohemian Toffee]

Cancelo is a thing of beauty running with the ball at his feet.

The unspoken rule is you cant criticise Fronk on here but I've said for a while he, slippy and Rooney are over rated based on their playing careers.

Im not a great fan of Potterball but I do think he's the better manager out the 4 of them.

Probably better than Arteta as well.

The star players that tend to make it as managers are the extremely high football-IQ ones like Pep and Xavi. Never saw Carlo play other than the 1990 World Cup, but I figure he was much the same as a player. Lampard, Gerrard and Rooney were extremely talented and athletic footballers that played on instinct. Of the three, Lampard probably brings the most to the table on the managerial side, and Rooney the least.

It works the same way in basketball. Larry Bird was an effective coach and executive. Michael Jordan could never do that. It takes a high-level understanding of how the game works, and not just an understanding of how to get around the defender and score.

 

[longers]

Fodens first touch is Isco level

 

[Zezti]

Anyone started the "Haaland to get found out in the premier league" thread yet?

 

[TheBigIguana]

Areola is the better keeper honestly

 

[Martin Alvito]

Anyone started the "Haaland to get found out in the premier league" thread yet?

You can if you want. Even if he fails in City's system, he'll simply be sold on at a profit to a club that can figure out how to use him. It's not like he was just scoring against chumps in the Bundesliga. He was scoring goals against Bayern and in the Champions League, and plenty of them.

 

[roydo]

Pen to City.

 

[Tommy Chong]

Peno!
