English Premier League ~ Season 17/18

[Lolzil]

Btw Lewis Baker is at Boro so has to be Musonda at CM vs Spurs.

Musonda weighs about 45 kg, is a winger and hasn't got the know-how to dictate a midfield from deep.

Reckon it'll be one of David Luiz or Willian in midfield next to Kanté.

Musonda actually started as a central playmaker. Belgian media kept touting him as the belgian xavi before he developed into a winger out on loan.

I'm aware of that, but that was in the youth rankings many years ago.

At Betis he predominantly started on the wings because his main assets have always been his burst of acceleration and trickery.

Unless Conté has lost his mind, Musonda will not start alongside Kanté.

Manchester City doesnt look like what ive expected so far.

What did you expect ? Some overpriced average players will not improve them significantly.

Well, Mendy, Bernardo Silva and Gundogan are still missing for them, they have Yaya Toure on the bench... and they've looked better than us, chelsea and liverpool at least.

Think we need to watch other clubs more closely before moaning constantly about ours

Yes Liverpool undoubtedly had a better season than us last year but for supposed top class manager he is appalling at fixing this leaky defence they have. Whether they win today or not, they have the same issues cropping up as last year already. They also look set to lose their star man like we did for years and have hardly made any signings to set the world on fire.

Same goes for Spurs - their best ever season in PL, came 2nd...lost their main RB and signed diddly squat so far. Rose wants out, Alli and Kane will soon follow for new deals at minimum so what progress have they made?

Chelsea have thrown away a 20 PL goals striker and spunked 60m on a bang average replacement, otherwise signed just a CB and failed elsewhere. Small squad, so whilst champions look set to struggle atm.

Man City and United have strengthened significantly and needed to. Arsenal have addressed 1 key area, 1 soon to be key area and still have a gaping hole in the middle (CM).

Don't get me wrong, I'm as frustrated as any Arsenal fan but just MAYBE it's not as easy as we always think..otherwise why aren't these clubs who did better than us finding it easy to strengthen with the allure of CL football? Wenger has f***ked up many times for sure but unless there is a manic final 3 weeks I'd be very disappointed as a fan of Chelsea, Liverpool or Spurs this summer.

Not sure about that.

They finished above us ( by a single point) and won f**k all . We won the FA cup

I prefer our season

[Angelito]

City lacking Messi I see.

Perhaps Pep made players believe that they are playing for a small club.

[GoonerAlexandre]

City have been good, they'll win this by 3 or 4.

Watch pundits jizz over City after they win this game 1-0.

"What a solid defensive performance."

"City well and truly above the rest this season. Next stop, the World Cup."

"Jesus already as good as Henry. I wouldn't be surprised if he surpassed Giggs as the greatest La Liga player of all time."

[BS221B]

How Manchester City manages to look worse than us at final third?

shocking.

You realise they're playing Brighton don't you

David Silva has become unrecognisable after shaving his hair
