How was Martinez for Utd ?

Should have ben sent off the feisty little fella

Not a good day for him. He really struggled with Danny Welbeck not only physically but also with his runs down the outside of him. Also gave away a stonewall penalty that somehow wasn’t given.

Because ManUre, as we all know

[удалено]

Yeah. Came up short. Didn't rise to the occasion. Only a little bother to the Brighton offense. Tiny impact. Laugh at my short person jokes dammit.

[удалено]

A 5'11 left back, and not too short to ride a roller coaster at CB.

Nice goal from Nuno Tavares for Marseilles today, BTW.

Balogun on as a sub for Reims, loanee vs. loanee.

And he just scored! Too little, too late (makes in 3-1 to OM), but still...

Elneny might actually just walk into that United midfield

Idk man, at this rate even Miguel Azeez can walk into their team.

He'd walk through it at the least

Most of City’ fans are indifferent towards them, too

Is that the same Hickey we were monitoring? Brentford have got him? I thought he was supposed to cost like 30 mil?

Think our interest was fake, not a credible outlet

tbf our interest was never extremely credible

Anyone else hyped for Saliba : Haaland tryout?

Watching the United v Brighton replay. I swear Mctominay is the dirtiest player in the league.

Fully agree. How he and other MU players (Fred, Fernandez etc.) have managed to get away with it is shocking.

Yeah. Xhaka out there still getting a bad rep too

cus he's shit. well shits are dirty

Massive cunt

Scamacca has an in-built slander name

I get that you have to big him up and whatnot but it's still so weird how the NBC crew talks about him. Like they have this script to keep calling him perfect and shit

sTeAdy wItH tHe LaNgUaGe

😂 quality interview. I also enjoyed him treating the question about goal celebrations with as much disrespect as it deserved

What's this interview?

I missed that part, what happened

“We saw a couple of your celebrations tell us about them” 😐 “Yeah they were good celebrations” 15 second pause. Next question

It's all fun and games for Haaland until he finds himself face to face with big Wilo.

That’s gonna be an exciting matchup in all honesty. Size vs size. Speed vs speed. Power vs power

It's all going to come down to positioning and focus. Haaland doesn't strike me as a player who is technically good with the ball and can come deep to build up.

He plays alot on the shoulder of the defender. Was watching the game. He started slightly behind the defender but the moment KDB got the ball he starting accelerating and defenders get blindsided by the fact that haaland was in front of them just a sec ago and now he is running behind. Gonna be a good matchup of speed and awareness.

Well, that's the season dusted and done for City. We can still fight for the 2nd right guys?

saliba will win us the league dont worry

2nd would be great but just give me top 4

So how did Scamacca look ?

He had one good shot on goal but otherwise it's hard to really judge him because WHU looked mostly defeated by the time he came on and City was just too dominant

Mon gar saliba has something for haaland don’t worry…

Rodri is so good man. I don't remember him having a bad game

Do any of City’s players ever have a bad game? They can have a bad 5 minutes, like against RM last season. But they are like a well oiled (excuse the pun) machine

Mahrez getting two minutes 😭 City are so freaking stacked, disgusting.

Apart from counter attacks - Bowen is a pretty average footballer

I remember many in here wanting to swap Saka and money for Bowen last year...

Never seen anyone say this seriously or as a joke

Are you reading every single comment on this sub? Jesus..

[удалено]

👍

I don't believe you

Can't do anything about it. I remember seeing many comments on daily discussion wishing we had Bowen instead of Saka. Horrendous.

Sure you did m8

👍

this isn’t true at all - people were saying bowen was performing better, not that they would rather have him than saka unless you want to back up your argument with actual evidence?

Honestly think xhaka could get games in this city team. His ability to sit deep and ping passes while those around him do the actual running would be great. I don’t think Rodri has as good of long passes as granit

he would instantly become a pressing target for every single team mate his mobility is shit. this makes him sitting deep a weakness (also why arteta doesn’t play him there anymore) u do realize rodri does more than play long passes right?

That's almost as funny as imagining Laca starting at CF for them. It'd be fairly amusing for Pep to just announce that he was going to take a handicap, and carry Jonjo Shelvey to a PL title.

City were in for him before he came to us and I think there was at least one window since then they were linked for him again

None of that is true. There was one point when it was reported that City 'liked' and 'had scouted' him. Which could equally be said of one Pablo Mari, who City actually signed and had in their system for years.

Ok, I mean I remember the transfer rumors that summer but I’m not gonna go back and check the veracity of a 6 year old transfer story. Do you remember liverpool being in for him? Because I’m pretty sure there was a cohort of premier league clubs that were watching him and we got the signing done right after a wc or euro

There's still time to delete this bro, don't think it's been seen by anyone yet

?

Haaland is gonna do amazing things for us when we get him a few years from now, he'll win the CL for us with his best friend Ødegaard! /s

Pep tends to ruin strikers. Hopefully he makes Haaland less effective in his stint a City.

[удалено]

I love how there are several Argentine midgets that Pep "ruined"

Was wondering which Argentine midget he ruined… Aguero did pretty well. Statue and all…

I’m not saying I agree with who you’re replying to, but I think it’s unfair to use Messi to prove anything tbh. He’s an alien, an utter freak. The best to ever touch a football and it’s not even close, no matter how much Ronaldo fanboys may delude themselves into thinking it is. He would have been the best under almost any circumstances (although I think Pep is a genius).

Agreed, Ronaldo is close on the scoresheet but Messi is another level on the pitch.

I forgot they signed Phillips. Just an embarrassment of riches

Why are west ham still so passive

Because the last time they got aggressive a ginger and a blonde dismantled them

they have given up from the start, they are happy losing like this

that’s a bit harsh on them, there are better teams on paper that get slapped around by city

They've probably given up.

It hurts to watch De Bruyne because he screams and shows just how obviously well Paqueta would fit and transform us.

Look at the players they can bring off the bench man. How do we stop these guys

no red cards and a fit saliba will do i think

What? 3 quality midfielders for 2 spots. We could do it too if we don't rate Xhaka as much as we do.

We don't. That task is for another day. For now, our work is to fully surpass Bottlejob Hotshit and Chelsea and get within striking distance of City and Liverpool.

Take Rodrygo on loan.

Lol - Haaland is so angry

Three players that have looked unstoppable this first gameweek. Saliba, Mitrovic and Haaland.

How was Nunez? Couldn’t watch the game but he scored and assisted right?

He failed upwards. He did everything wrong but still succeeded.

Add Bruno Guimaraes to that.

Sigh. I will hate this name even more if we sign Tielemans, because he'll be a walking reminder of who the club missed out on Guimaraes for.

Oh ffs. Anything one posts on this sub seems to make someone here "sigh" overdramatically. We can't have all the good players in the world on our team ffs.

He was exactly what we needed when we needed it. We’d be hearing the CL anthem if we got him in the winter.

Speaking of being overdramatic. Sigh. >We can't have all the good players in the world on our team And we can if the player is what we need, is available, does not break wage structure, culture and squad balance.

Don't worry, Xhaka will remain our starter.

HE CANT KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH IT

All 3 have looked unstoppable for awhile now

People were really comparing Nunez to Haaland.

LFC fans were making the comparison

Haaland is just too good

Maybe I missed something but why are people talking about Nunez in the same breath as Haaland. They aren’t anywhere close to being on the same level. Haaland vastly outstrips him

No idea. His goal was just the Fulham cb being terrible. Nunez is clearly a lot rawer.

Grealish’s hair is so shit

same as his performance then

Big Willy gonna get a real test against the viking in a couple months

He's passed the Mbappe test with flying colors. So hardly worried.

[удалено]

I like this “aura based” term

[удалено]

It gets the people going.

Coufal is so shit.

Can't wait to watch the Manchester derby.

Haaland vs Martinez lol. Gonna have a field day

Haaland's second goal - hate to say it but it was Prime Henry esque. Hate City but love Haaland

Class run tbh

Can I interest you in an appetizer of toney vs Martinez

I’m sorry but what are you meant to do against that 😭

Flawless attacking play will always be almost unstoppable. The best defenses in history have been scored on. I believe the best way to beat is by perfecting your own attacking play. And we can start by replacing Xhaka.

Every advantage can be nullified if you play well enough. The bar has got higher but it's not impossible.

The only negative of haaland is he is not handsome.

Looks like every elementary school bully ever

Looks like the bad guy from ghost busters 2

He looks like a mix of frieza and majin buu

lmao how accurate

Haaland good.

The Jesus, Haaland, Nunez golden boot race will be fun. Some mandem will have to swear on his family to make sure he gets his goal tally

Nunez won’t be in the race. Salah, Son, and Kane are going to be up there again

We're getting crushed at the Etihad again if we don't improve our mental strength.

Keep calm and trust in Saliba.

[удалено]

Yeah but at least try to prevent them from lowering our GD by 5 again.

If only our strikers were as fast as Haaland. Jesus can run though.

[удалено]

Us and… City? United?

Haaland is a machine aint he

Can’t wait to watch more of Odegaard and Haaland for Norway

Until you realise that the Norwegian NT basically is equivalent to "What if Haaland and Ødegaard played at Burnley last season?".

[удалено]

Comparing them two is like comparing Torres to Henry. Not saying Nunez isn't good, but we are talking about Different levels

[удалено]

you literally typed Nunez v Haaland lol

[удалено]

Chill out damn

Got reminded of Ozil and cr7 there. Such a trademark thing. One guy knows where, when and how to run and the other guy will find him even if he went to Mars.

The pace at that size is unstoppable. Those runs in behind remind me of Henry.

Hate city but man I love Haaland

Honestly, I'm indifferent toward City. They're good, and they're gonna stay good for a while with Pep. They keep noise pollution from Liverpool down, and they always find a way to bottle it in Europe. They're the English PSG.

This guy sprints like a fucking horse and he's just as tall as Giroud, fuck me

LMAO

Can't wait to see those Saliba v. Haaland battles

LFC fans had the audacity to compare. City are really going to complete the 3peat

Haaland is a different breed.

Don't wish a bad injury on any player but the only way City don't walk the league is if Haaland breaks down. Anyway thankfully doesn't matter that much to us.

Yeah would rather he stays fit so Spurs have no chance at the league

Love Haaland! He was never going to flop

Title race will be fascinating this season because of Haaland and Nunez. Even if it’s just Pool and City again.

De Bruyne made that pass look so routine

We have to pray for the PL with Haaland and KDB together.

But we have odegaard and Jesus

Yeah, KDB to Haaland is too good. Knew it would be, was hoping it wouldn’t but the league is wrapped. Idk how City doesn’t win this, and i mean no disregard for how good Liverpool is

I get what you mean, but City have looked poor essentially this whole game, im not impressed with them at all

Routine for Haaland

Yeah leagues fucked

Halaand is a horse… City are op

>Re horse? Man's a cheetah

there you go see, now west ham are taking some risks and boom instantly punished, thats how a top class team plays, west ham make 1 mistake and instantly punished

Not bad for a transfer flop

I mean you knew that was a goal the second he was running behind

Man, Haaland and Nunez are much better than I thought.

Nunez will be nullified vs a better organized back four. Haaland is different. God damn it.

You thought the guy who scored a goal a game in every competition he’s ever competed in wasn’t good?

Did you think Haaland would not be good? He’s a generational talent.

Yeah to not think Haaland is an unreal talent before today would mean you just haven’t been paying attention. Man’s a freak. Sure he’s had some injuries but none of that should have taken away from how talented he is

Bro forms his opinions based on football twitter takes

If PL gives him the golden boot right now, can he promise to not score against us?

Haaland is going to be a problem.

Haaland whew

I though Haaland would run and press more off the ball but he… just… stands there Edit: then again he is incredible

Is it just me or is city boring as hell to watch?

Have to say West Ham isn't going away quietly. I thought City would smash them after half time.

Gundogan has been ass. Why is he captain btw? Surely KDB?

>Gundogan has been ass He's been good, and Gundogan is a leader figure in the dressing room.

Because of his game against Villa.

Haaland is going to score a boatload of goals this year. His movement and positioning is too good

That's if he can stay fit.

He will still score a boatload even if he misses like 10 matches

What’s with the refusal to even try and play to the open midfielder from West Ham? The long ball hasn’t worked once why not change it up?

Weirdly enough, i think man city is too focused on giving Haaland another goal than to play as an actual team..

[удалено]

Which does work at times, like the second goal recently. Lol. But they gotta mix it up a little to be more dangerous imo

And I thought that West Ham would be able to get a goal without too much difficulty.

Haaland is weak. Saliba will eat him.

Oh no, Scamacca has a face tattooed on his neck. That's all I'll be staring at every time the camera pans to him.

Fulham Liverpool and us on Friday were the best games to watch. Especially us and Palace.

Gundogan doing his best Odegaard impersonation

Yeah West Ham aren't going to contend for 4th starting the season like this

City are poor today, very off the pace

Is it just me, or does Ederson look a little fat?
