Match Day Thread 2017/18 Premier League, Cups & Euro Watch

i've been pointing out for ages that players like Moreno ,Hendo & the CB's are following orders when they constantly push forward / chase the ball which is why it is the system not individuals at prime fault even though the individuals mentioned could all be upgraded.

 

quite !

 

well ManC v Arse ain't going to be 0-0 judging by first 10 mins

 

1 - 0 to city. Game over then

 

Pep football really is a joy to watch.

 

And to think - we had a partnership with Genk and had first option on KDB.

 

It was a time where it was clearly difficult to compete with the chavs for young talent. They just hoovered up everyone with great potential

 

Middling game so far this city v arsenal malarchy.

Delph at lb is totally exposed do Ozil is bring all play over to Kyle walkers side.

Sterling misses an open goal.

De Bruyne scores.

Pretty much par for course so far

 

Sorry not really talking about the finances
If they get relegated and that ground empties it becomes an albatross around their necks.
Upton was a hive when vibrant and that atmosphere would pull the players along. Should they find themselves in league 2 with 10k in there...
like i say it just sad, tbf they will hopefully turn it around.

 

They paid 17mil on hazard and 7 on de Bruyne and then thought making a 12mil profit on him to Wolfsburg a good deal.

Salah thry sold for 6mil profit plus took 4mil in on loan fees.

Reject?

I'd rather call it just another asset Chelsea sweated for cash.

 

Oh and Solanke and brewster...... another two we have taken off them. Let's see if either cuts in in the big time.

 

I think they would be fired out of it then.

The realitynis I think they already struggle to fill it and right round the ground the majority left yesterday were lfc fanswho got in home tickets cos they are cheap.

If they go in championship it will be half empty no question.

What's going on at Sunderland should scare the pants off them tbh.

 

Sterling has to think there, so as usual messes up

 

He’s been really good this season but that pass was so poor.

 

To be fair to him, he has done well so far this season. However City will inevitably replace him sooner or later.
I used to like the kid prior to his greedy antics, but I would always pick Salah and Mane over him at the moment.

 

Tbf it's easy in a team so dominant but he will get replaced quickly imo. Next summer imo his position will be filled.

 

Yeah, sort of more where i was coming from. Without wanting to ignitie a bomb i would only wan to leave anfield for a groundshare. Otherwise i would rather we build to the max and then that is it.
Even the ethihad will be interesting should city ever go down (not that that will be in my lifetime).

I feel that clubs are stuck trying to play catch up. You can see what west ham are trying to do but at the moment it is not working. I understand you cant just give up and say that the teams at the top thats it, really dont know what the answer is, as a football fan that was hard watching that interview with bilic last night as it was a kind of, when everything goes wrong this is where u find yourself.

 

Realistically city should be raided by fraud squad cos a lot of their balance sheet is a shell. Etihad sponsorship etc seems to be to be completely faked with no prospect of ever making it back in revenue for Etihad... Just to have the ffp rules met.

Their u23s have a massive ground many league 1 teams would envy.

It is catch up as nobody is willing to pull them in.

You can't really catch up in terms of any facility to make up for 3-500mil of just pure faked revenue.

 

Credit to the linesman there. High speed and just in line, but got it right. City 2-0

 

In Dixie Dean's day that Arsenal goal would have stood, it was fair game to barge the keeper and ball into the net.
