I'm normally not one for whataboutery, but if that handball decision in the FA Cup final last season had gone against one of the red three, we'd never ever hear the end of it.
Of course it probably wouldn't have gone against them in the first place.
Think we’ll see Marmoush and Cherki on the wings as he’ll want to save Doku for Liverpool and I think he’ll move Foden to the right on Sunday and pack the midfield. Hope I’m wrong about the Cherki bit mind.
It’s almost as if a guy who’s played for Barcelona, Valencia (not ratboy’s iteration), Porto and Manchester City at the age of 24 is a pretty good player.
Until the day he died my grandad used to say he wished we’d signed Ali five years earlier.
In case you’re not watching big fella, we’ve got one ten years younger.
I know the opposition was fairly ordinary.
I remember Jay Spearing being the next Steven Gerrard on the back of one performance.
But bloody hell, this boy can really really play.
Looks considerably better further forward (Wolves, Arsenal, Brentford) than as one of a midfield two, which probably makes him the odd one out when everyone’s fit unless he shows he can play that deeper position.
