Activate Another Lever and Still Lose to a Madrid Remontada - The Small Teams Thread

Casemiro not in the squad. Apparently threw a tantrum as he was being dropped to the bench and is now suddenly injured.

I don't get it. Well, I do but people need to remember Manchester United have spent more than City, and at the same time brought in far less for player transfers.

 

What a mistake from the 100M defender

 

Ive been entertained....

 

2-0

 

Time to bet for City to win. Odds are probably not even that much against them

 

I put that down to the keeper. Stay in your damn goal FFS.

 

Ten Hag about to save his job?

 

Exactly.... Like who the ******** Is leao gonna be to the great scheme of footballing history? Wont even make top 500 Best players ever... He wants to go make a quarter of a billion in saudi, he Is More than in his right to AND honesty ID judge him If he didnt at least take the bid very seriously. Id only turn down offered like that If I thought I could eventually be compared to Pele.

 

City had no business going through against Chelsea and are getting toyed with here. Lots of heavy legs in that team. For the poster who wondered why City need Pintus. This is primarily why. We would never drop a 0/10 performance in a final. Pintus won't allow that

 

City will score 1 or 2

 

No one in English media mentioned Pintus links. Actually no one relevant in Spanish media mentioned it either. Most probably bogus. RM won 98, 00, 02,14 and 16 CL final without Pintus. So I wouldn't give blanket credit to Pintus for our finals record.

 

You need to be thick if you don’t know what Doku is going to do.

Such a one dimensional player. Same thing time after time.

 

Probably his first one of the year considering hes been city's best defender this season

 

I then I go and spoil it all by doing something stupid like brining on Jonny Evans.

 

If It cost you the only final you play, doesnt matter if its the only fouled you did all year, It changes the perspectiva of your season.

 

But you can't deny how having Pintus has made us alot fitter come the end of seasons. We can play many ETs right after one another. Besides I doubt we win 3peat without him. There is a reason the club signed him separately from the coaching staff

 

People saying that was a clear pen? I didnt think so

 

Pep has Haaland playing between the lines. This isn't the game to try and get him involved more. Might as well just play Silva as a false 9 if that's the case

 

If Utd win FA Cup, Chelsea are out of Europa League next season. Utd will qualify as FA Cup winners. Could be important as EL winners get a CL spot.

 

You can say the same thing about Messi. Its one thing to know another to stop it every time. And he will try time and time again so eventually it works due to volume. Vini was similar in his first few seasons.
You can say many things about Pep but hes not an idiot.

 

Yeah that's if you don't consider the keeper being more at fault and the fact city have already won the prem, supercup and club world cup this season. This is why it sucks being a defender.

 

Onana is trash.
