I hope they look this crap when we play them, but you just know they'll be raring to go. Playing Arsenal at the Britannia is their cup final.
Hope they play that same front four against us, because those four players don't track back, and so it's little wonder why the Liverpool players have had so much space and time in attack.
Not that I ever like to see players injured, but this could really benefit us for next weeks game against the scousers!
Underestimate any Premier league side at your peril, especially a wounded side like Liverpool at home. But if we get Sanchez back for that game, then it'll be good to see him get a run out and see him fresh.
I totally agree, they'll be a tough prospect - but I'd rather face them without Coutinho than with Coutinho, and hopefully between Sanchez, Walcott, Giroud and Ozil we should be able to cause their injury hit defence a few problems...
Anybody else wondering whether the speculation over Pelligrini's future will affect City this season ?
You'd have to expect it'll affect his ability to get players like Toure to perform if nothing else. Hopefully it'll work in our favour. But it looks pretty much certain that Guardiola is going to Citey
Everton leading Citeh 1-0 at HT. They deserve it, too. Could well be an all Merseyside final if Everton continue to perform like this (I can't see Stoke overturning Liverpool at Anfield). City look out of sorts though. Again. That being said, it doesn't seem to matter just how bad they play sometimes because they have players capable of producing something special when the game looks beyond them.
Lukaku really has developed into a beast of a CF this season, seems to have everything you need to be a world class CF, we should be interested, last season many argued that there were not many top CF's available in the market, but this guy and Aubameyang should be on our radar.
Lukaku is on fire at the moment and has a great link with Deulofeu, with Ozil supplying him he would be unstoppable.
I know what you are getting at with Aubameyang, I just have a thing about strikers that look great in Germany. Demba Ba, Ibsivivic and Firmino all scored loads of goals for Hoffenheim but once they moved to other leagues they looked distinctly average. Maybe its just the way Hoffenheim play that makes strikers look better than they are.
Lukaku does have premier league experience, but he would come with a premier league price tag too. I don't think Everton would sell for much less than £40m and for that money Aubameyang would be my first choice.
If both players would cost £40m, I'd still personally prefer to go with Lukaku. He is still only 22 years old, has potential to get even better and he is proven in the Premier League, so there would be less worries about him settling into the Premiership and familiarising himself with England. Scoring over 70 goals in the top flight of English football at the age of 22 is remarkable. That being said, I cannot for the life of me see us getting him and I would still be delighted with Aubameyang because I've wanted him for the last couple of years now, so I'd be over the moon if we did sign him. A front three of Sanchez, Aubameyang and Walcott would be absolutely lethal with the amount of pace in that attack.
For me, it's got to be Aubameyang. He's perfect for us. He's the perfect Giroud + Theo hybrid. A front 4 of Aubameyang, Sanchez, Ozil and Walcott could be devastating. Ozil' be in heaven. Assists for days. I like Lukaku a lot but he's purely a CF. PEA is a better footballer. He can play across the frontline seamlessly.
