Today's Football 2016 / 2017 Season

They just did...

But the 2nd man was on his heels. 2 or 3 times they could have scored had they been on their toes to the wayward ball.
Either you all press or you all sit. United seemed to do bito of both so never took advantage. Need Lukaku to start pressing.

Looking forward to seeing how Perez does for Arsenal although if he is good and hikes his shorts up I'll probably cry.

up to now everybody else playing for 2nd as city looked the biz, but Rio called them on Bravo and their defence, throw it up in the air and/or over the top and there may be a problem or two

 

[Jags..class]

You mean good and then a liability.

Yep

 

[Darth Toffeeman]

Don't get ahead of yourself. We have yet to play anyone good and could barely beat Stoke.

The thought of Ross Barkley and Gareth Barry chasing around after a Pep Guardiola team scares me and Aguero always scores against us.

Stoke came for a point. An arrogant City will come for 3, and get 0.

Rooney and lingard complete weak links in that Utd side. Amazed martial and rashford aren't in ahead of them

They started exactly the same last season winning 5 league games on the bounce.
Marathon not a sprint. They look good but certainly beatable.

It doesn't matter what they came for. The simple fact is we haven't beat anyone good and yes City do have weaknesses but so do we.

City look a side that will be better away from home.

Any side can beat any team on their day.
We look far more solid which is what was required. We have a very good team which was under performing under the last stewardship. I think we can only get stronger as the season progresses.

I'm not going to disagree with any of that but I wouldn't say I think we can beat City at home. In the first half they looked amazing against a very good Utd team. Frankly if they play like that they will tonk us so I am not going to invite fate.

I know what you mean, but a bear pit atmosphere to greet an ex player who thinks he is better than us will see us prevail. They are a very good side currently but I am confident that at full strength we can beat them.

Yep, bookies where already joking about paying out on City by mid September.
Leicester finished 20 points ahead of them.
