Mendy's crosses are sublime... Really wish we had his quality.
Premier League Gameweek 3 fixtures (25th - 27th August 2018)

Jorge Mendes FC doing reasonably well.Have had a couple of half chances.
I still see a City win though.When they get into their rhythm with the ball they are difficult to stop.David Silva and Fernandinho the main instigators in getting their play tempo going.

Nice play from wolves there
Mendy 
Costa what a fecking run!
Mendy is the best terrible full back I’ve ever seen.
Mendy is a donkey.
City are a very good team but so many sides backed off them last season and let them play. Wolves may not get a result today but they are having a go and creating ahelluva lot more chances than teams last season.
Helder Costa hitting cheetah speeds out there. he's rapid
I love Kompany.
Kompany is having a great game
Mendy
Kompany had a shocking first half
This is a great game.
70mil defender needed man
Within one page mendy has gone from sublime to a donkey
What is that position Costa is playing? Looks like a right sided position but he's quick and skillful. Looks potentially threatening to an opposition fullback. Are attackers allowed in that position?
But wolves v united is a game that does exist and will happen. Confused now
Kompany's problem is he thinks he has great footballing ability. He doesn't. I've seen it time and again.
Because of one foul throw ?
Impressive half from Wolves.
It’s funny because it’s true!Well he did do something stupid!
Hopefully Wolves can sustain this till the final whistle. Finished the half strongly.
I've seen him being called one of the defenders in PL history a lot recently. Personally I think he's far from it. Nowhere near the likes of Rio, Vidic, Terry, Adams, Carvalho.
Kompany, Gundogan and Mendy (defensively) are poor today. I'd hook the first two immediately, Stones for Kompany, push Bernardo inside, play Sane and Sterling on the wings. Those two are really struggling with the press.
No they are most certainly not. The young man is going to get a stern ticking off during the match interval.
Then we could say United field more than 8 donkeys a week lol
See, Mourinho is not alone
That's the setup of the game though. Unless the foul is dangerous or blatantly cynical (like pulling the shirt), is a referee supposed to give a yellow card for a challenge in the opposition's box?
They get a lot of ire because it nullifies the counter threat, but I'm not sure they should be treated worse than your normal foul.
He easily was at that level during the Mancini years (albeit not nearly as good with the ball as Rio), he's not been since. It's no coincidence that our first two titles were both down to him playing a lot of games and being immense. Last two or three years, I'd say he's probably the 3rd best Belgian CB in the league. Still a top player but far from the player he was before the injuries.
I don't understand how this game is goalless on both sides.
See, Mourinho is not alone
If Wolves win today, they'll blame Sterling for that Patricio save and downgrade Jose to the leagues second best Portugese manager.
If he was allowed to get forward, then he'd thrive. But I think he's technically better than he first looks. I don't think it helps his cause that he has the presence/build of a CM/CB but plays wingback - it seems odd at first glance. But I'm a huge fan.
You're having a laugh. A few years ago he was up there. On the decline now of course.
Luckily you’ve only got a maximum of two more shitposts for the day.But wolves v united is a game that does exist and will happen. Confused now
Nice play all round from Wolves, Patricio with a excellent save, good defending from Boly with some charging down of players so they had to rush a shot or last ditch tackles. Some good play along the wings, good half all round, dont know if they can keep City out for 90mins when City have like 70% possession however.
Gundogan overall hasn't really impressed me for city. They don't play as well with him in the side, and I thought he was a major culprit for the Liverpool capitulation last season.
wolves are gonna be really interesting to follow this season.
Boly and Patricio (possibly the save of the season) have been immense for Wolves, for us only Laporte has stood out at the back.
Both teams have had chances, I'd say we've created a couple more chances but its been a good tight game.
