If Sheffield hold on, and don't take any shots, will they be the first team in PL history to win a game without having a shot?

Aguero missing loads. Lucky he plays for a team like this where it won't matter

I can't wait for Pep to feck off.

They'll still be there and there abouts obviously, because of the insane spending sprees, but they won't be like this.

Go manage PSG or Juve you bald bastard, we all know you only go to the strongest team in the league. Rebuilds ain't really his thing. Neither is promoting youth. When Silva leaves I'm sure he'll spunk out on a new spanish midfielder instead of giving Foden a chance.

Go manage AC Milan or Monaco or something, take on a rebuilding job. It's easy to win the league when you manage the richest and best team in every job you've ever had. Until then, Fraudiola lives on.
If yer da was a post.

He misses sitters all the time, I suppose your stats still look good when you get 8 chances a game and score 2 of them though.

If he played for us he'd get about 15-16 goals a season.

I find it so hard to hate KDB and Bernardo Silva. Fecking brilliant players.

City on song are unstoppable. We dont have 7 shots on target in a game let alone goals :(

City seem to score the same type of goals every week. A cross and a tap in at the far post. How do teams not defend this?
Maybe they know about it but simply cannot stop it

Arjen Robben syndrome. You know exactly what's going to happen, but you can't stop it.

7 goals from 8 shots on target. Ben Foster having a good day then :lol:

Imagine those two playing for us, and with Aguero up front to complete the trinity. It gets more depressing the more you think about it.
When you think how Chelsea gave away KDB for peanuts and then when you look at how Bernardo Silva in his first season at City compared to now he truly went up 2 more levels. Remarkable really.

They haven't had any shot at all? :lol:

I know winning without a shot on target has happened before but hardly ever. No shots at all must be extremely likely to be a first.

Bernardo Silva is such a complete player. He can play on the right, on the left, in the middle, behind a striker.
True. We missed him when we had a proven portugese manager with us. 100% sure he would have chosen us with Jose in charge.

I would even argue the same with Sterling. They have got into the habit of taking good players or players with potential/high ceiling and have turned them into world class footballers.

I would say the only recent player that United have done that with is De Gea. Hoping that will now change with players like James and Maguire.

Not sure we have developed players for a while. Players coming to us should have a bit of ambition themselves, but they are so well rewarded it makes them rather complacent for all they say about winning trophies.
