    Stating the obvious I know ... but Haaland has made such a difference to Citeh (and not just in goals) ... they now have an incredibly effective out ball against a high press ... his physicality is so impressive - big, quick, strong and skillfull ... bullied one of the best centre-backs (over the last 5 years) in the world yesterday ...

    Dzeko did an OK job in that regard previously ... but Haaland is like Dzeko on rocket fuel ...

    Citeh's spine ... Ederson, Akanji, Rodri, KDB and Haaland has to be the best in the world (as a collective) at this current time ...

    Being rumoured that Stevie Me is a serious contender to be our new manager...

    Wouldn't mind him tbph ... know it didn't work out for him at Villa but building from the Championship might benefit both him and us ... added bonus is that he would bring former Leicester cub legend Gary McAllistair with him were he to take the job ...

    Further bonus would be able to call Stevie a twat on a regular basis if he doesn't win games... then watching the Sucky windmilling show that would be sure to follow <laugh>

    I watched it all ... wouldn't be surprised if it came out that Rashford was actually carrying an injury throughout ... his movement seemed laboured at times and he was positively hobbling by the end ...

    of the City team, Grealish's temperament causes me concern. I just hope he don't get found out against Inter, because they will try and push his buttons. I'm sure Pep will have seen the Sevilla v Roma game and mental notes taken. I expect Haaland will try and defend his buddies with his size, but he also needs to be careful not to let that allow him to get dragged into tactics. I see the cheating as the only obstacle, but who knows, Inter may surprise us all.

    Fighting back ffs <laugh>

    Let's be honest, if it weren't for some weird ref and VAR decisions all favouring Utd that would have been about 3 or 4 nil. City never had to get out of 2nd gear.

    There’s this narrative allowed to grow that they’ve had a terrific season. Don’t get it.

    He probably does have something about him. They aren’t terrible by any means but they’re just meh. Would be amazed if they got within six points of City next season.
