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

So if you guys win it after spending 75m on a defender and 60m on a keeper, does this still hold true

Don't answer that, we know your delusions already. Money wins in football, Liverpool in the 80s, United in the 90s, Chelsea in the 00s, City now.

We had to sell players worth over 250 million pounds (Sterling, Suarez, Coutinho) and add a main stand to finance our spending. We didn't make calls to illegally grab extra cash from offshore accounts.

And don't dare put City in a group with Liverpool, United, and Chelsea, clubs that can actually win silverware outside of England. Before Sheikh came along most of City's trophies were won in the second division. Nothing but a little boy club with oil money losing to a team that hasnt spent a penny in 12 months.

All pep had to do was play Sane in both legs and he would have mashed Spurs easily. Our FB's are our weakness and he should have isolated Trippier and Rose on more occasions

I don't like City as an organisation and what they stand for but this is fukked up

Feel for Sterling as well... Gundogan

 

[Trajan]

They do.

Only certain teams get to score offside goals though, and only certain handball are called.

It is what it is though, well played to Spurs.

Breh you're a parody now

Tell that to Swansea. Tell that to Arsenal

Funny when VAR is used on the same night Mane is actually awarded a goal that was disallowed and Sterling's is ruled out


But but but we need VAR

How does VAR justice feel . . burns right

 

[Sensitive Christian Grey]

Thrre are too many Great scenarios
Barca possible winning another treble
Liverpool possible double
Young Ajax winning it after decades before they break up the squad
Tottenham the dark horse that nobody care

This wouldn't be terrible, but since we've seen it before it'd be uninteresting and somewhat predictable

Where is this "Sane should've started" shyt from?
Have y'all watched him the past few games he's been featured in? Always trying to do too much with the ball and ends up losing it

City's best front 3 right now is what started yesterday

Mourinho stumped his development tbh, by first signing Ibra and then Lukaku, which shifted him out wide, where he ended playing FB half the time. Barring the pace, Rashford doesn't have the guile to be a wing forward like Martial is. His best asset is his movement, which has been evident since his debut and more noticeable when he plays upfront, oppose to being shifted out wide. I cannot remember who said it in here, but Rashford is at the Sterling pre Pep stage.

People won't admit it,but Sterling's movement has been A1 since his debut under Brodgers. But I guess Pep will get that credit from others, but if you watched Liverpool when they finished 2nd with Suarez and Sturridge, Sterling was always getting himself into wonderful positions. The Arsenal game at Anfield shows that.

One thing with Rashford is that he has time on his side, 21, but from next season needs to crack on IMO. Has great pace, movement and a great shot.

I am Sterling stan (he was born in my families area in Jamaica) but after that season with Suarez he fell off but that is excepted due to his age - he was like 18/19, but his finishing and movement were not that great and not consistent. Coupled with XP and Pep he massively improved.

Pep improves tons of players, so I wasn't surprised - Sterling having his best season of his career, between him and VVD for player of the year.

Except he actually is now cause the whole wage structure at United got fukked. This is all Ed Woodward's fault for putting that cow Alexis on 500k a week

All the agent has to argue is that its only 40% of what they're willing to pay a benchwarmer, and then you've got an open and shut case

Virgil is first Ballon d'Or-quality Premier League centre-back we've seen since Vidić. Even if Liverpool don't win the league, I don't think there should be any debate.

Have you seen Spurs FB's play? Pace on the wings is the best way to expose us get the CB's out of position as well. Even Adama Traore gives our fullbacks the shakes and dude is just certified sprinter masquerading as a footballer.
