    At home. Third game of the season
    Any loss today will not be the sole determinant
    of the outcome of their season. So why not ??

    I don't recommend that Eddie Howe gets his passport renewed anytime soon...

    It's still the best decision for a lot of teams.
    Yes, you risk a battering, but the alternative is a slow, dull death by attrition.
    You might get lucky and nick a win by playing like this.

    City’s defenders are excellent technical players but all of them are pretty **** defensively. Probably not used to actually having to defend. Go at them and you’ll get goals, problem for many though is actually being able to get at them.

    Their keeper's also great on the ball, but rather rash and makes questionable decisions.
    Just ran out into the middle of nowhere and got saved by his defender.

    Don’t think the scoring has finished somehow

    Telling you, these City defenders aren’t good defensively. Go at them and they’re clueless. They can pass and dribble better than most midfielders but they really do struggle defensively when up against it.

    I don't think they're getting a lot of protection from the midfield.
    Rodri and Gundogan are covering the middle, but Silva and Foden aren't doing it on the wings.
    Saint-Maximin and Almiron are taking advantage and getting free runs into the centre.

    Eddie Howe must have realised he needs to renew his passport soon...

    Bayern 4-0 up at Bochum before half-time. Sane, De Ligt, Coman and Mane with the goals.
    Less than 3 games in, they've scored 12 goals and had 9 goalscorers.

    That's, like, 20% of my goals on PES there

    The other 80% are a through ball to the guy on the far post...

    Totally agree. Since Kompany left they haven't looked the same. His leadership and experience marshalled the whole back line, and they haven't really replaced that.

    Burnley have changed due to his presence, too.
    3-3 vs Blackpool yesterday and they had 71% possession.
    3-1 up after half an hour though, so he'll be fuming.

    3-1. Trippier with what's becoming a trademark. Glad we had Kane taking ours when he was with us...
