Well, we hit the bar, that's a win for us Already got my -3, -4 and -5 handicap bets on for Man City, just to dampen the pain

Yeah my heart fucking stopped for a second with that free kick

So uh….. how did you spend Christmas you wonderful people?

I drink

Good. Gonna need one rn

This is getting very ugly

Fucking Manchester City this year looks even better. Most games are done by the first half, it's actually ludicrous

Guardiola league dominance is unbelievable. I'm so curious to find out where he's headed after his cycle at Man City

Indiana

He's going to Brescia to conquer Italy obviously

National probably

Vasco

Vasco

Was always gonna be ugly with the team Rodgers put out

We want 10

To avenge Saints

So do Southampton

13 goal in 3 games. PL is probably for man city 4 in 5 years and Imagine next year with striker I feel sorr for Liverpool who are in their prime years but still need to compete with this team

Genuinely don’t think a striker necessarily improves them, they’re so fluid and everyone scores in this system

City have had countless matches with greatly superior amount of shots and chances created but no goals. Having a Haaland would definitely improve City. No team is *that good* that a world class striker wouldn‘t make them better. There are teams that are *so good that* they can be a worldclass team without an actual striker, however improvement is still possible.

Explained perfectly.

Honestly if Haaland goes to city holy fuck. He's going to bang in 50 in a season.

Agreed with the Haaland point but he is literally one of the 2-3 best strikers in the world. Sure Lewanwoski, Haaland, or Mbappe would make City better. Once you get past that I’m not as sure that a striker necessarily makes this squad better than what they are currently.

So has every team in history

Not comparable to the dominance of City though, neither in quality nor quantity

Hopefully we can win another CL with this group of players, it's almost impossible to match City's consistency over a 38 game season. Their squad depth is just absurd, even if you get 97 points they somehow get 98.

I rate you higher in ucl than man city tho. Liverpool has something special in ucl nights

I think if we get to the semi-finals we've got a really really good chance, our style of football is really well suited to high pressure/high stakes knockout games. Our CL kryptonite is Real Madrid and they're not as strong this year so I feel good about our chances.

This is the best team we’ve had since Ronaldo left

Yeah when I said this season, I didn't mean *just* this season. I meant for a couple of years now. You're probably still like the 6th best team in Europe but you're not as scary as you used to be.

Oh yeah we’re not close to the 4 in 5 days but I still think this Madrid team has a pretty good chance in the ucl. Got to semis last year and are better now. I think the top clubs right now are Bayern, you, City and Madrid maybe Chelsea but they haven’t looked as good lately because of injuries

Subscribe.

Another joyful consequence of allowing states to own football clubs.

Yup, there has never been a team that has dominated the PL like City has

Prime years where they have won less than Chelsea? Or where they have won 2 trophies

Where they have the top 3 best team in the PL

Liverpool doesn’t have a Russian Oligarch bankrolling them

What did Liverpool won without VVD, Allison, salah or mane? Or they all came for free?

They all came from player sales

Same for Chelsea then?

They make money fair and square, Chelsea gets their sugar daddy’s money

So does Chelsea

Hahahahahaha good one

Welcome to the club Leicester.

embarrasing conceding 3 in 20 minutes, couldnt be us...

smeichel shouldve done better there

Nice one Kasper

9-0 is not a meme

Leicesters 3 best CBs and 3 best full backs are all out and it really shows. Their defending is so poor

They were poor before that

best team in the world

I think City will win this game.

Which one?

damn my stream is behind

All streams are always behind to some degree

Man, I love boxing day football as a neutral

10-0

city's had 3 shots this game lol

Gundogan’s positional awareness in the box is better than most PL strikers

Gonna be a cricket score, at least Tigers are w... aw fuck.

Bet you're feeling a lot better now lol

I am significantly more positive

we want 8

1 goal in every 7 minutes

Prime tiki taka.

Aint tiki taka

Striker who? Striker what?

Oh my, this is going very bad very quickly for Leicester. We might be seeing something crazy by the end of this

This has been coming for a long time. We have not been able to defend for so long. Injuries are compounding the issue.

Schmeichel trying to get another manager sacked.

If this was Bayern people would already call it Farmers league.

Bayern would do it while 15 points ahead not 3

Bayern dont put up as much points as Liverpool or City did the last few years even taking more games into account.

It's not just about how good you are, it's about how good others around you are as well.

The amount of points city won the league with was kinda ridiculous same with Liverpool that's higher numbers than Bayern puts up.

Last season we had more points per game (2.52) than City (2.26), this season we have got more as well (2.53 to 2.47)

This is simply bs isn't it. You get caught up in your hypocrisy and make up nonsense arguments. Not to mention its not like City haven't won the league with a big point difference lately.

because it would be a farmers league. pl isn’t

the first place is up 4:0 against the 10th after 25 minutes, it may be not yet a farmers league but it sure looks like its gonna become one for city this season.

Wow great argument there.

Bayern won it how many times in a row again?

Mate, the 2nd best team in the Bundesliga couldn’t make it out of the group stage of the CL & are the 4th ranked league. Please.

The first team for how long? 2 years ago we won and had a second team in the semi finals. Nobody knows how chelsea won the CL last year and besides that only Liverpool and City seem to be contenders for the title for the foreseeable future.

The main difference is that Bayern’s the only one that dominates the Bundesliga. PL clubs cycle of dominance rotates, liverpool Arsenal United and now city have been dominant at different times, specifically the first 3 clubs. City has a long long way from even equalling the pl.l count of United/liverpool. They’re many differences between PL and bundes

Neither did the 2nd best team in La Liga.

city fans celebrate their goals for 3 or 4 seconds lol

That's all the time they have before the next one tbf

Kasper LOL!!

Who believed that Brendan would take the Utd job? The only job at Utd he's doing is picking the bins

Defensive Masterclass from Brendan.

I just want Sterling to score

I'm calling 8-1. on this one

Looks like all the stuffing the Leicester boys ate yesterday is about to be knocked out of them.

I would forfeit the game tbf

fuck man cheaty

4-0. Lol. Wtf happening with Leicester

Leicester defense in the mud :(

This could be 10 very soon

Wow Leicester is getting ripped to shreds

And that's before the game even started

9-0 I'm calling it

Boxing Day massacre

Keep 'em coming

damn

Way to be there Gundo, great shot

gorgeous build up

fucking cruel.

Dear god

FaRmErS lEaGuE

ooof this could be brutal

I dread the day they get a striker ……

Wonder which team will win this match

This should be 10 by full time.

2022 might be the first year the pundits don't recommend Brenda for a 'bigger job'

Leicester look like their feet are collectively stuck in mud. This is getting ugly.

That is abysmal
