Hard to even say Haaland is the problem when someone like Bernardo hasn’t had a good game since the World Cup. I don’t see how Haaland’s presence should interfere with Bernardo’s play

Yeah. I agree the Bruno goal probably should not have stood.

I was shocked it stood actually..

But I don't care. :mjlit:

Breh, City used to play a crossing game when they were losing, with Sterling and other dwarves up front… they have a giant now, and they refuse to cross :dahell:
Pep got Rid of the players with sheer speed and some tekkers on the flanks that really gave teams problems

He switched that up with nothing but technical players. even the bench players who comes on are replacing almost like for like.

not sure how people can say Rashford didnt impact the defenders movement lol

if Rashford isnt there the defender will run a lot faster toward the ball, as he wouldnt fear fouling Rashford
Always keep your guard up. Defenders leave shyt to the ref and didnt play to the whistle :yeshrug:

Bernardo is a defensive midfielder these days.

Be objective breh. If he’s not there, Akanji is getting the ball. Is he supposed to run through him?

I don't think you'll find anybody arguing that Rashford didn't interfere with the play there :yeshrug:

awb needs to fix his back post issues. if he cannot we must replace him.

we have lots to improve but the winning resolve is there.

in that regard at least it can be said that ten hag has already wrought magic.

real magic.
