That's not good but as long as all the other defenders are fit, I think we have enough quality to shuffle the back around. Both Ake and the young lad Wilson-Esbrand were looking good last week against Bayern 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrbojangles Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 At the start of the game I got a message from a mate that "West Ham were all over us". Well that lasted about 3 minutes and then it was more like a training ground session. Surprised at West Ham, they gave us a really difficult ride last season Haaland is looking like he's going to score a shed load. At last we have what looks like an ice cold, calm penalty taker (not had a proper one for years for some reason) and the way he took his second goal was equally calm and no panic. Funny when Alvarez whacked the ball into Zouma's chin and knocked him to the floor. The City crowd started singing "that's how your cat feels" ???? Liverpool only getting a point was nice and it's always a cheery on the cake when United lose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrbojangles Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 Seems a decent buy Manchester City have agreed a fee with Anderlecht for Spanish left-back Sergio Gomez. City have been searching for a new left-back since Oleksandr Zinchenko joined Arsenal, and have now agreed to pay €13million (£11m) plus add-ons for 21-year-old Gomez. The Spain under-21 international won Anderlecht's Player of the Year last season after scoring seven times and providing 15 assists from full-back, however, City remain in the market for a senior left-back to challenge Joao Cancelo as Gomez hasn't been targeted as a first-team option just yet. https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/sergio-gomez-transfer-man-city-24730312?utm_source=men_newsletter&utm_campaign=breaking_mcfc_newsletter2&utm_medium=email 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could have gone on to win in the end but to be fair, Newcastle deserved something from that. Good game for the neutral. Side note. Not gonna blame FOden but hopefully a lesson he will take away for future is to pass the bladdy ball to Haaland when he's in a better position than him 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrbojangles Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 What an horrible draw so early on in the Caraboa Cup. Usually like the early rounds to give the youngsters a run. Dont know what Pep will do against Chelsea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were terrible the first half. All bitty with no cohesion and they scored from 2 set pieces. In fact that was the only shots Palace had all day. We need to address that. Second half was a different story. Absolutely dominated and Haaland in the right position for 3 well worked goals after Silva got us back in it. I'm also loving Alvarez. Even though he's only having minor roles, the energy he brings is contagious to the rest of the lads.

For me, I'd prefer us not to do it. It's also really annoying when watching in the pub. Some gobby Scouse was really giving it big when Liverpool were winning 2-0 and we were losing 2-0. kept on mouthing off to me, I said "can I watch the game please mate, a game is 90 minutes not 20". He wasn't quite so mouthy when Haaland scored his 3rd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Normally he passes but I think he ust wanted to bang in the goal himself. Looks like Pep gave him a talking to and even Haaland pointed out that now he passes to him. Tongue in cheek i reckon. As for Mahrez. I like him but sometimes he does only have one trick up his sleeve and defenders know what it is.. As for Gundo, I absolutely love him (and Silva of course) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought Haaland was scary but I'm really loving watching Alvarez. Boy they both know where the goal is but defenders can't put too many men on them cos .we have another 6 or 7 players who also know where the goal is. Loving this style of play 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
