That amount of chances City missed against Sainst or tonight is ridiculous.

That Brighton left back Bernardo or whatever he’s called is having a nightmare..

Are you joking he’s an absolute tool. He’s probably the only City fan they could find and he’s literally just there to gush about City like a fan. He’s honestly one of the most uneducated pundits I’ve seen.
Yeah but he's a lovely guy, admit it :)

When teams are defeated and have given up (around the 3-0 mark) City are the beat team in the league at keeping the attacks going and not resting up.

Since Pep has been in the PL, City have scored 5+ goals in 19 games, the next best is Liverpool on 8 games.

You know he just signed a contract with us last summer? Its not a supermarket you know. We can tell them to feck off
It doesn't matter mate. Who is a better GK as of now, DDG or Heno? If you want to go for the title, you need to have a really good team. If I were Heno and a top team calling me to player for them, I'd on the same day hand in my transfer request to United, the team who clearly doesn't need me as much as the other team does.

Obviously Chelsea just bought that Turkish keeper, so they probably don't need Heno, but another team will come for him in the summer, I promise you that.

And your point is to let go of the best keeper we can have next season because we gave our current keeper a long contract? That's not the teams who win titles consecutively do business.

Best course of action is to give Heno the gloves, and put DDG on market. You got to be ruthless. Nice teams don't win titles.

I can totally understand why this comment might piss off lots of people because of what DDG has done for us in the past, and how much money we're going to lose if we have to force-sell him, but you have keep the best interest of the team in mind. Let Ed go make more money next year and fins a super rich club, like PSG to give us a strong offer.

My point is our club must work really really hard to not lose #1 England keeper as of now for some nonsense reason.

Does anyone even feel any confident at DDG ability to save penalty? He's been bang average and living off of his past. Time to move on!

Pope’s a great keeper. Better than Henderson?

They really are. We used to take the foot off the gas under Fergie and coast to 3 and 4 nil wins. City go for the throat. Its almost makes for uncomfortable viewing at times as the teams look like they want to throw the towel in.

They have still lost more games than we have this season though.

Say what you want about Ole, but in big games, we never got smashed like that. Never. We never lost tactically to any team. We lost because of mistakes and general lack of ability.

For Chelsea, it was glaringly obvious that they couldn't deal with Sheffield's 5-3-2. Aimless football for the most part.

Chelsea (the saviours of football) fan.
When did a player kicking the ball away at a free kick stop being a yellow card?

A Wolves player just did it right in front of the ref and all he got was a talking to.

Am I imagining things that this used to be a yellow card?

Has anyone noticed players have stopped a lot of play acting (i.e. faking injuries) since the restart, most probably due to the empty stadiums.

You are not imagining it. It definitely used to be a yellow card. Another of these rules they brought in, enforced it for so long, then stopped being bothered.
