Essential The Official Football (Soccer) Thread - We are SO back, the Premier League returns!

Spurs are getting cut apart at points...that probably should've been a third goal.

Danny Rose was pissed off cause Bernardo was mugging him off, just straight up shoulder checked him too death

City playing football on another level. They lull you to sleep then strike so quickly.

Then they press or foul you when they lose the ball.

This City team
Even their goalkeeper spreads the ball like Xabi Alonso

Watching the Arsenal-Burnley match during halftime...the defense is an adventure (and probably will be until Bellerin, Holding, and Tierney are integrated into the lineup...even then it might be a bit rough), but this offense is going to be a problem for the PL. They've been strikingly fluid in transitioning from defense to attack at points, and once you have the full strength attack of Aubameyang, Lacazette, Pepe, Ceballos (plus Bellerin and Tierney contributing from the right and left back positions), we could end up seeing some beautiful offensive football from these guys throughout the season.

They were good last year too. New in what way?

As good as Liverpool is, Man City beat them to the title last year without KDB for most of the year pulling the strings from the midfield.

I just don't see how this team with KDB doesn't win the league.

EDIT: Sorry @Yayo Toure for jinxing you.

 

[dappadonna]

No pace up front for counters ,I don't know what formation they're playing either

 

[Spade]

He comes in the game and they score right away.

 

[TobiOT]

Lucas comes on and he scores

 

[TobiOT]

Lucas still pissed that he got benched in UCL final

 

[Ukbrotha]

forgot City didn't replace Kompany. That could be costly in the long run.

 

[dappadonna]

C'mon man , my boy !!

 

[TobiOT]

Tottenham 2 shots -2 on target - 2 goals

Man City 19 shots - 8 On target - 2 goals

FIFA-Esque

It'll be a fukking robbery if Spurs gets points from this match. They get killed for most of the half only to equalize like that?

Gotta take your chances when you have them, I suppose. City's gonna kick themselves for being so wasteful if they don't win this.
