Holy shit, we’re playing tonight???

 

Oh yeah absolutely. But if the balance works you might finally be finding an answer to your midfield problems. Certainly it might mean you start treating it as more than just a zone for athleticism and running.

 

oh sterling post-Arteta

 

Very true. We could field a midfield of Fred, Pogba, and Fernandes who are all good on the ball. Been a long time since we’ve been able to field a midfield of three technically good players. Once we see less of Lingard I’ll be happy. Hard to believe how bad he’s been this year and I was a fan of him before the summer.

 

Speaking of Lingard

 

It’s an absolute joke that Matic got two yellow cards before the whole of the City team got two. How do refs let them away with those fouls? Cancelo could have 5 in the second half alone!

 

Absolutely bananas how we ended that game with more yellow cards and a red card than City.

 

Crazy how United won again at the Etihad but aren't in contention for the Cup

 

What prompted this?

 

Lingard lost the ball and City countered when Sterling rounded the keeper and missed

 

Man, if he was a grumpy pants at Spurs...

 

Mikel's got his own Raheem now. Meet Bukayo.

 

As if Spurs want Giroud. A player who couldn't get a game at Arsenal or Chelsea.

Don't get me wrong, he's decent enough but he'll get you maybe 6 or 7 goals for the rest of the season at best I would imagine, unless he goes on one of his barren runs. He isn't what Spurs should be looking at.

If Giroud knew what was best for him he'd go to someone like Sheff Utd or West Ham or Newcastle, as they need strikers and he would play every game.

 

So I was wrong about Sterling's troubles. Apparently he's "been off" since the Joe Gomes situation.

All I know is that as a City fan I hope he can start scoring again.

 

I’d rather wait till summer to sign a backup striker at this point. There aren’t really any available right now. And I think Son can play there now that we have another winger.

Bergwijn Son Lucas
Ndombele Dele Lo Celso

Wouldn’t be surprised if we keep using the 433 and that lineup.

 

Well we’re looking for Rondon apparently...

 

This staggered me for so long I started to wonder if you were secretly a fan of Birmingham City or something.

 

i'm looking to get a kit with a gift card i received. is an authentic kit really worth $70 more than a replica? what's the true differences?

 

The materials used. If you're gonna wear it as a fashion item I'd go replica. I'd suggest getting the second kit because it looks awesome in person. Also if you go player printing route I'd go with the champions league style for the 2nd kit because they name and number will be alternating colors.

 

okay, i now have to look into this. thanks!

 

We’re so desperate for a striker there’s a good portion of fans that think it would be a great move.

 

Rondon is a good player. Hot take.

 

There's good, and there's good enough for Man Utd though

 

Sending Lukaku away to Milan and replacing him with Rondon in January isn't a great look.
