On his good days yeah, but he can also be incredibly wasteful and frustrating. He has the talent to be an undisputed starter but sometimes he's just... not smart on the pitch.
He is more of a team player than he has ever been. Puts in a shift tracking back with Vini JR

No one wearing a kit as ugly as City’s deserves to win anything.

And amazing that Liverpool’s peak coincides with the greatest domestic league performing side in PL history.
It’s was like how our peak coincided with the greatest side ever meaning we didn’t win two in a row.

So annoying away goals don't count double anymore. With the current scoreline it would be 6-6 if away goals were double and we would be heading to extra time.

City over Liverpool all day long.
Really? If city win the champions league.. I reckon they will go and dominate competitions for years and years to come. At least with liverpool, you know you have a chance against them!

Behind the right goal post as "Whiteside shoots!"
Real have got in behind quite a few times and stretched the City defence. Vinicius Jr has been trash and wasteful, the likes of Mane, Salah, Jota etc won't be.

I think it'll be a comfortable 2-0/3-0 Liverpool win.
Liverpools FBs aren’t getting their usual licence to bomb up with the wide players City have and their triangles around the penalty box corners.

They might win. I’d be amazed if it’s 3-0 or “comfortable”…. unless Pep has another selection/tactic brain fart.

Depressing isn't it. Think I'll give the CL final a miss this year and become a Chelsea fan for a day.

Would United fans prefer Chelsea winning the FA Cup, Liverpool winning the CL and City winning the league? Or would a City league and CL double be preferable to us winning a seventh?

Haven't you heard? Counting away goals is the new away goals count double.

City bringing Gundogan on while Madrid sub Kroos and Modric off has killed the game.

No it wouldn't. Away goals only count double when there is a draw. City are 5-3 up on aggregate

That’s a masterful performance from City, to be fair.
I've seen far better games from City, the 1st half was meh and most part of the second was very poor on both ends. But they're a far better team than Real Madrid when Benzema doesn't have the godmode on.

Real have been trash maybe they partied a bit too hard on the weekend. Carlo’s luck is out tonight.
That is an understatement. With this much experience, you would think that Carlo would tell them to calm down a little as there was still business to be done in Europe.
