    You're a frontrunner. That's why you 'support' that team.

    There’s still time to choose a different team.

Soccer players might be the only group of people that love shitty neck tattoos more than NBA players 

Oh yay. Man city tear apart some relegation fodder and the good game goes unwatched on gold. Fuck you nbc. 

I could have slept in this morning.

This reminds me of those ass-whippings 0u and corn used to administer in the big 8.... where they had to call off the dogs to avoid hitting 100.

United look an awfully lot like Mourinho’s last year at Chelsea.

So Mou is angling to be sacked soon? 

 

A glimmer of hope down two with a minute of stoppage?

It's year three right?  Pretty much right on schedule, except for the whole not winning a league title yet.

"I brilliantly told them the perfect strategy to execute but they did not do so. It is really disappointing to have a perfect tactic only to watch the players ruin it."

It must be so tough

The only question seems to be how long United let him go before sacking him.

Waaaaay to early predictions based on only 2 weekends of play:

  • City will repeat
  • Mou is out at ManU by Christmas
  • Ozil will not be a starter by Christmas
  • Richarlison will win the golden boot
  • Everton will finish ahead of Aresenal

It really says something about the class that City has when you can lose your best player and drop 6 on the dregs of the Premiership.

All of those except the city and golden boot are right though

"The board has not bought me players.  You watched the world cup right?  Pogba and Lukaku are trash."

 

I don't think he's well suited to this league. He'd likely be a better player in La Liga or Serie A.

I blame Mou. You saw the World Cup. You know what he's capable of. I don't think Mou has set up him, or anyone else on that team, to succeed.

100%. Pogba was World Class at Juve and in the WC. Mou is the restrictor plate of the EPL. He's got Pogba in a position he's not suited for.

A few of those turnovers were long balls to sideshow bob. What an offense Mou’s got going there. 

Hell, I finally watched that video - that's total garbage. Just going over what I see on the 15  plays

1. Long ball - just didn't get it right - just like a ton of other plays in soccer
2. Near turnover - no one to pass the ball to and he got run down, he kept possession, don't see the problem
3. Defender intercepted a pass and he committed a foul - meh
4. Mis-weighted pass - player cut off the run slightly
5. Long ball - just didn't get it right - just like a ton of other plays in soccer
6. Sanchez was moving back for the pass until it came then went to space where a pass made no sense. I don't see how this is Progba's fault.
7. Sideshow Bob does nothing on a perfect thru ball and let's it go.
8. Long ball - just didn't get it right - just like a ton of other plays in soccer
9. Ball over the top - it was well defended
10. Turnover along the edge - never gets help, commits a foul trying to get the ball back
11. Long ball - just didn't get it right - just like a ton of other plays in soccer
12. Turnover with a soft foul - not enough info because when he gets the ball he's under pressure, we don't see the initial pass to him
13. Bad first touch, foul trying to get the ball back and he hustles his ass off to get the ball. Frankly the foul bailed out the guy w/ the ball getting himself off-balance.
14. This is a pretty soft foul - but I can't even tell what the hell is going on, I just see 2 guys going for a ball
15. Just a scrum for the ball - hard to make any judgement on it

 

And frankly - this is all negative plays. In a game when all of ManU played like hammered dog shit. If they wanted to be fair, they should have all of his touches from the game. It's really hard to judge without also seeing some good plays.

And i'm sure this would have been your reaction had this been a video of Mesut Ozil. For suuuure.

Well I mean if the replays were exactly the same with Ozil replacing Pogba, maybe?

That sideways pass out of bounds is indefensible. Looked like 3rd graders in their first practice.

there are no excuses for that video. well, someone somehow came up with 15 excuses for it, but there are no legit excuses for it. you could complile every minute of Matteo Guendouzi footage  at Arsenal (he's an Arsenal teenager with a whopping 7 games of Ligue 1 experience heading into this year) and you wouldn't see that many mistakes. that video is ridiculous.

dead serious, Guendouzi has been way better than Pogba through two games. There's no excuse for that.

I still don't know how to say his name, but he looked good against Chelsea.

Whatever man.

are y'all contractually obligated to pos rep each other every single time one of you complains about me? 

Ya but we can only use the heart.  No trophy or lol emoji's.

their respective net spending on transfer fees and wages might have something to do with it. Agüero's weekly wages alone is probably equal to the 11 Huddersfield players that were on the pitch Saturday.

Should have been 12-1.

Wait, you're telling me that a team with the best players spends the most on player salaries? GTFO here, no way!

Our lineup is reaching the point where I need nicknames for everyone. I refer to him as Doozy.

O/U on goals conceded by City after week 7: 1.5

Is it too late to take the over?
