He doesn't like to strike it first time from that side, plus Matip was close. He did well to hold the ball and pick the right pass.

Overall Sterling looked good in his cameo but he's been off for City all year. He needs a striker to play off of, the regression of Sterling coincided with the decline/injury/departure of Aguero.

I'd say all the way back to late 2019 early 2020 tbh. Hasn't looked the same since. Also he's become more selfish at times and tries to do too much as well. I understand why because his numbers say he deserves to be selfish at times but it's the decision making is annoying much like Sir Marcus. Also his lack of control of his tekkers at times exposes his limitations. Fine when he's scoring and able to run into space but final pass the touch the strength on the ball lacks.

No just no. Barnes creative from LM/LW was so good that once he lost speed because of the Achilles injury at 29. He was able to move into CM and be the main playmaker control the tempo and never lose the ball. Mane loses his pace and he isn't the same player nor do I think he could adapt his game either.


recency bias on my part cant lie:lolbron:

We could have easily been out of it at ht so I’ll take the draw but again that’s another 2 trash goals to concede along with the shambles at Brentford, need to sort it ASAP :scust:


And starting Milner was just criminal, I guess the thinking is he has better delivery than Joe but never should have happened.

It was but the times that gomez has played at rb have been disastrous from recent memory so i understand.but he shoulda been subbed way ealier imo

@Yayo Toure. You see this top Pep being wearing for the last few weeks. Why does the Citeh badge look like its had a stroke?

Some of the madchester line Puma been promoting. Supposed to be a tribute to the raves in Manchester. The designer popped some ecstasy when he was making it.

So Manchester United haven’t even played any of the big boys yet and up they’re still fourth. Still got Chelsea, City, Liverpool, Arsenal, Spurs, Leicester to come. Chelsea, Liverpool and City have had the toughest fixtures so far and they’ve done well.

I still think the title race will between these three clubs. Utd will drop off as long as Ole is still employed there.
