Bredbury Blue Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 Interesting article by City fan / accountant Colin Savage: City are not just beating United on the field but will soon be beating them in the financial derby. https://boltfromtheblue.live/2019/10/25/the-manchester-financial-derby/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jellydog Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 Three points picked up. Nice efforts from many players, including KDB, Spanish Dave, Gundogan, and Sterling. Mendy is looking dependable which is a big plus. Cancelo the same on the right side. Foden looked sharp. Fernandinho with a silly foul for that second booking. Hopefully he won't be missed against Soton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bredbury Blue Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 Bit of a struggle again. Too many misunderstandings, misplaced passes. Gundogan was excellent again (MOM), Bernardo and a few others decent. What's happened to KdB who's been awful of late; was crying out for Pep to hook him. Jesus wasn't great either. Villa looked dangerous on the break, and having quite a few giants i was crapping myself at corners. Ederson thankfully did what was required of him and has been excellent in recent games when called upon. Fernandinho was a complete plonker getting himself sent off - should know better. So with England and City winning, can Spurs and Norwich make it a perfect sporting weekend? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jellydog Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 I just saw the second goal was credited to KDB. I was sure Spanish Dave touched the ball. Apparently not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bredbury Blue Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 ^Yep Garcia will be back, probably with Otamendi, with Fernandinho probably rested anyway (making a mockery of the red card rule ????) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bredbury Blue Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 Still don't how get how City weren't able to get a work permit for our player Douglas Luiz (we'd had to loan him out to our Spanish club), so we have to sell him. Villa buy him from us and get a work permit for their player Douglas Luiz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bredbury Blue Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 Seems some livrpool fans are wrongly accusing Fernandinho of tactically getting himself sent off so he wouldn't miss the Anfield game...article explains their misunderstanding https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/man-city-fernandinho-liverpool-red-17152450 I actually thought Fernandinho was unlucky with his 2nd booking. He was running and tussling to get back with the villa player when their legs tangled. Looked worse than it was. Can understand the ref seeing that as a red but was a bit harsh.

Bredbury Blue Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 City vs Southampton in caraboa cup tomorrow night is not on tv here in Thailand. It's not on live in the UK so i can't use Mobdro or HDPrime. Anyone know a GOOD free stream link to try (last couple of times trying to find / open free live streams has not been great for me)?

Bredbury Blue Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 Good performance apart from a sloppy 10 minutes 2nd half when we took our foot off their throat. 87% possession first 15 minutes which dropped to 76%. Interesting team selection with 4 City 'babes' starting. Cracking Otamendi header for 1v0. Lovely team goal and great Walker cross for Aguero 2v0. Poacher's goal Aguero 3v0. Brilliant goal-saving stop by Bravo but then Angelino beaten in the air by bigger man for 3v1 just as Pep was going to bring on 2 more City 'babes' (????). Only downer was ANOTHER defender injured with reserve reserve left back Angelino doing his hammie. Good win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bredbury Blue Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 Loved seeing 4 academy players in the starting 11; Angelino, Eric Garcia, and mancunian City fans Foden and Tommy Doyle. Doyle's debut at 18 yrs and 2 weeks is earlier than paternal granddad Mike Doyle's (RIP) but way behind maternal granddad Glyn Pardoe's (15 years and 314 days, City's youngest ever player). Thought he was excellent but he needs to beef up. Midfield of Bernardo, Doyle and Foden might be the shortest or lightest midfield trio ever.☺ Pep was about to put on 2 more academy players in Bernabe (18yrs) and Poveda (19yrs), but as they scored and Angelino was injured so only Bernabe got on.

Yes in recent years United are a perfect example of how spending <deleted> tonnes of money doesn't guarantee success.

But instead of getting tribalistic, why not discuss BB's point, which is a good one. Good strikers can be bought, but how easy is it to replace iconic ones. How easily did Arsenal replace Henry, or Chelsea replace Drogba, or Newcastle replace Shearer? When the time comes, City might actually struggle to fill an Aguero sized hole. Agueros don't grow on trees. The solution could be to buy 2 strikers and see who (+ Jesus) can force their way into the side Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
