      Good win for City. Sounded as if we were playing 12 men at times. I will leave that one to Adlab lol.

        Good win for City – not great, especially in second half but kept plugging away and eventually got what, I think, we deserved. Referee terrible again.
        First time I’ve watched United this season – my God, it really is like watching paint dry – plenty of enthusiasm (in patches) but no endeavour, no invention, no pace to the play and very little idea.
        I almost feel sorry for the United fans. I did say almost.

          Just back from cinema… Mission Impossible (good yarn) . Just watched City match highlights. Should have won more easily. What a stonewall penalty on Sane and not given.
          Utd 0-0 81mins

              United at least put in a shift tonight but they lacked both confidence somewhat understandably and creativity.Real beaten by CSKA and theyโ€™ve now gone 3 games without a goal.

                If, hypothetically, Fergie was back available (I know that couldn’t happen now), but would he get the job anyway? The club has abandoned his legacy so quickly over recent years, that if he came in and immediately chucked out a lot of the egos in that dressing room, he probably wouldn’t be allowed to do it because of the money invested in them. So like other clubs in the league, they might as well change the job title from “manager” to “head coach”. Not sure Zidane would take it (and his English would be a problem). Conte can be a bit fiery himself and commands the obedience of the dressing room so I’m not sure he’s the answer. I don’t think the job would be right yet for Pochettino. Which basically implies that Man Utd need an interim manager in the short term to steady the ship and very gradually move players on whilst trying to develop the younger players. Out of all the names being linked to the job, the only one that would make some sense, particularly if they’re hell bent on keeping Pogba happy, would probably be Didier Deschamps.

                  SAF is probably the greatest Manager the PL will ever see but even if he could turn back time it’s a different game now. Also imo all this started to go wrong in the last couple of years of Fergies tenure.

                  I think United are so massive now that they have to bite the bullet and go for a DOF and a Head Coach and then go out and find the best two candidates available for those roles.

                    Jim, we are getting the job done phase. All teams aware of City potency and all have made efforts to curb us. We are not the finished article yet by any means but I have to say it is nice to look forward to a match day and see some football, rarely a bad game name from both sides from what I have watched so far at the Etihad. I like the progress beig made but next season I anticipate at least 4/5 new players being brought in to maintain the standard

                        This could get Messi.

                          Worst Liverpool have played all season. Front 3 totally out of sorts. Iโ€™d take a draw now

                            Wasnt hopeful in any way, after all itโ€™s little old spurs against Barcelona. However gifting them a goal after a minute is just suicide especially when youโ€™re playing against 12 men. Weโ€™ve not played badly but they are just so superior in every department.

                              Such a. Shame. Really felt we couldโ€™ve got the equaliser. Lloris has been absolutely woeful. 2 goals his fault and couldโ€™ve been more. Really feel for the rest of the team.

                                Thatโ€™s as bad as Iโ€™ve seen us play under klopp. Totally outplayed by Napoli. Front 3 were dreadful. Only Alison and Gomez did well

                                No need to panic. Few games left in a hard group but thatโ€™s as bad as Iโ€™ve seen in a longtime and fully deserved to lose

                                  Not too good by our teams this round one win, one draw and two losses.

                                    City will have a field day at Anfield if Liverpool repeat that tonight. Keita, unless the injury isn’t serious, will be a big miss. The pressing and energy levels will have to be at their maximum if they’re to get a result on Sunday.

                                      Messi was brilliant tonight. Still the best in the world imo.

                                        Disappointing result for Liverpool but they can still qualify. Back injury for Keita who must be a doubt for the City game.

                                          What happened to Keita nine? Wonder if Liverpool will miss him this weekend. Their front 3 certainly seem to be be a little off form at present. Here’s hoping we can get something at Anfield for a change. Got to get there first mind. I think if I were City I would be ignoring the inept Merseyside police advice and taking my own bus route to the ground. Thus avoiding the scroats.

                                            Ye Mikus, worst Iโ€™ve seen us play in a very longtime. Lethargic display and fully deserved to lose

                                            We miss ox as we have no one driving from midfield. The 3 in midfield are not inventive enough

                                            The front 3 is now a concern. They look completely out of sorts and if we play like that then city will destroy us
