Yeah, we’ll see how this match goes if he doesn’t score or assist I think I’ll take him out. Like you say, they don’t look like they will be keeping many clean sheets this season
Trips a much better option if you want a prem defender

What happened? No mention of anything on sky or BBC obviously :lol:
Alisson had the ball then completely lost it in his feet and wiped the player out with a sliding tackle outside the box. Yellow probably correct but it was a complete mess.

Guess Wolves aren't as amazing as we made them look. They can't even get out of their half against Brighton.
Most times I've watched Lemina he's a luxury lazy bastard like Ndombele. He played like prime Gattuso against us.

Allison came out and cleaned a striker outside of his box.
i can’t see how it’s not, liverpool have players back but they don’t have a keeper in goal. It turns into a goal scoring chance from that alone
Well I’ll be expecting days of media coverage and the VAR people for that game stepped down too as last Monday set the precedent :angel:

Imagine one of our wingers doing that. We are lacking in quality truly.
Our wingers can barely do the basics most of the time. They run directly at defenders and pass backwards when it looks too difficult. We have very low standards for this position.

tbf, most teams will look good when the opposition doesn't have a coherent midfield.
They haven't been that bad currently...playing nicely around Brighton's press. Conceded through Mitoma's individual brilliance though.

Premier League obviously has to help City out a bit by moving their game to a late kick off after them playing on Wednesday night, they’ve got a tiny squad after all!! I’m sure we’ve played before in the CL on a Wednesday night and had the early Saturday game, nice to see the Prem finally change this and look after teams, I’m sure we’ll see this more going forward and it’s not just a case of them making an exception for a specific team.
Well they have a much smaller senior squad than Utd and are currently suffering injury to some of their key players.
Their 8pm kick off is virtue of their game being the current premier league champions playing the 4th placed team whereas Utd’s game is 3rd place vs, 8th place so much less attractive for prime time viewing.

Apart from that your post was entirely accurate and rational, not even a hint of paranoia ;-)

PS. As an Alport supporter I don’t even have a dog in the fight but I felt obliged to mention the above because I enjoy / deeply appreciate the general realism & sanity of this forum so would hate for it to slide sideways under the unbearable weight of rawk-like delusion.

Rashford would never get that much space. Garnacho is already dragged down well before he's anywhere near the box.
