Today’s Football 2020/21 Season

[No8Bally]

Still time for Kyle Walker to be booked as he chops down Georginio Wijnaldum.

Nobody simply "fouls" a verminpool player these days.

 

[N.S.N.O.]

To add to this, it doesn't help Guardiola isn't committed.

I said him being off at the end of the season would be a contributory factor to their continued fall - someone on here told me he signed a new deal, but apparently his future is still very much in the air;

City should move on now and grab Pochettino before United do...

Klopp is getting the better of Pep on the pitch and in the transfer market..

City not a patch on the team of 3-4 years ago now....Silva, Kompany, Fernandinho, Toure, a fit Aguero...plenty of average players there now, and it does look a bit flat there

 

[JobForTheMoyes]

Yeah perhaps harsh but what I meant is he's not brought in/improved the squad.

Losing the likes of Kompany without a replacement and even Sane, Silva etc.

IMO City have progressively got worse each season in the past 3.

Their best transfer business was done under Mancini. His old guard remained the backbone of the side, even during Guardiola's initial success.

 

[Saint Domingo]

City played badly, were missing Aguero, had a ludicrous penalty given against them, missed a penalty, against a Liverpool team supposedly in top form, and Liverpool dropped points. That doesn’t bode well for them moving forward. They’re not the team they were last season.

 

[Tin-Tin]

Poch would work wonders with these players. Peps pressing style has been non existent recently, lots of possession Martinez football but going nowhere.

His signings are meh

 

[marsh]

I don't think Jesus meant that touch, he miscontrols it in my opinion but all the pundits saying its world class n showing Bergkamps vs Newcastle as if its similar. If that was a West Brom or Burnley striker they'd just say got lucky with the touch but good finish.

Anyway Jesus missed a free header the dope

City gone stale

Should go for Poch or Allegri

 

[gazzaa2]

Best two teams in Premier League history my arse! Just shows how rubbish the league is at the moment. Player standards are definitely down across the board.

It's an attritional season. These players are playing every 3 days for their clubs and then they have to go off and play another 3 games for their international teams. They were both exhausted second half.

It's an opportunity for teams with easier schedules to take advantage (yet we go and blow the last three games).

 

[roydo]

Klopp making some sense on 5 Live there.

Making the point about the schedules for players, he didnt actually moan about just his club. Referenced United and Spurs both having long European travels, then playing at early kick offs.

 

[Big Sams Undies]

Wouldn’t be surprised to see Guardiola bail at the end of the year.

Fellas spent about a billion pound and is getting shown up year on year by Klopp on and off the pitch.

Never even come close to doing anything in the CL, just like at Bayern.

Overrated as ferk.

Arsenal v villa next, a draw and we drop 2 places, a win for either and we drop 1, what would you prefer?

Young athletes can’t manage 2 x90 minute sessions in a week, really

Been no draw last 14 games, but expect Arsenal win and us to be in 7th - but a draw does not drop us 2 places as well
but villa lead-offside give

Quick start from Villa 1 0
