    I don't think that's true.

    According to transfermarkt, in the Premier League Davis has 2 goals and 6 assists in 1969 minutes on the pitch while Ramirez has half as many (1 goal and 3 assists) in roughly a quarter of the playing time (461 minutes on the pitch).

    There are perfectly sound reasons to argue we should play Davis ahead of Ramirez but "Davis creates more chances" is not one of them.

    strangely for me both teams are very similar, although city do have the edge on overall quality. Both team Cbs are good pairings but can lack pace on the break, both sets of fullbacks bomb forward that can expose spaces, both defensive midfielders push forward that can expose spaces, both keepers are great on thier day but prone to errors and both attacks revolve around one skillful player that pulls the strings.
    The difference is in the style of play, City players like time on the ball which is probably why we do so well against them. Should be a cracking game with City having the quality of being able to rip us a new one, whereas we have the quality, desire and determination to get something from this game

    David Silva worries me most. We can press them and stop them playing, but he can just whack one in at any moment.

    Some very squeaky bums on there... Good. They'll start getting edgy if they aren't ahead half an hour into the game.

    Don't you find it a tad ironic that one of the posters is called Mike Channon's Windmill..? Of course, Channon was only with them a couple of seasons, so they won't know that he was actually written Mick, and pronounced as in pick, not pike. :)

    One of the things I love is that a common comment is that our defence is "terrible" (or similar). Joint 12th most terrible in the league, I think they'll find, so only 7 teams better.

    I'd like to ask that person which one of Shaw, Lovren, Fonte and Chambers is supposed to be terrible.

    Very good, FLT.

    It was preceded by: My first touch..? Down there [points to end of boot]. I'm from Brazil. :)
