    Gundogan injury v West Brom | Confirmed not serious by Ilkay

    Two of our yellows were for dissent which is for whatever reason now seen as some sort of blasphemy, while targeting a player and taking turns in kicking the shit out of him is I guess something which proper football men do, so it's mostly okay. Worst thing was that Sane's stupid response came...

    Gabriel Jesus - 2017/18 performances

    It annoyed me as much as the Gundogan injury as their game plan was evident, yet the referee was only assisting. Dawson and McAuley interchanging between them to kick the shit out of him and not a single fucking yellow card was given.

    Eliaquim Mangala - 2017/18 performances

    He made the first goal possible with his lovely switch. Something that our defenders don't really do too often and it is sometimes a shame. Not that it's a regular thing with Mangala but his vision is actually spot on. Trouble is when he's under a bit of pressure, he can't really turn his body...

    Ilkay Gundogan - 2017/18 performances

    Stu Brennan misheard it and Pep didn't say it's a month. He did say however: "He will be back soon, hopefully. He will be assessed tomorrow. The Physio's have told me it is little" - Guardiola on Gundogan

    Ilkay Gundogan - 2017/18 performances

    Oh for fuck's sake. He was brilliant up until his injury. Not just that sprint but his turns and creative distribution. Like he never missed a Here is hoping it seemed worse than it is.

    Excellent Gundogan article in New York Times

    I guess this is the reason Rory now seems to be solely publishing for the New York Times as it's obvious its his full time job. Though as he often clarifies on Twitter, he still lives in Manchester.

    West Brom (a) League Cup pre-match thread

    Hopefully their 7 at the back will do us a favour. Pep's system is basically that successful because it is great against loaded defences so if we can suck the life out of them they should eventually collapse. But without Silva and KdB of course it won't be that interesting. Unless Gundogan and...

    The National - Sleep Well Beast

    I'm already done with my summer + concerts stuff for this year, but as they are seemingly only doing USA + UK, I'm 100% sure that next year there will be a more thorough Europe tour for the album, and as I only saw them once in Barcelona 3 years ago, it's a must for me no doubt. Probably agree...

    The National - Sleep Well Beast

    New album came out a week ago. Definitely worth a listen and I think it is up there with their best work so far, and I'm saying it as I'm having them currently as my fav band. It might sound a bit weird and shit for the first time, but here is a nice hint: it sounds so, so much better live...

    United thread 2017/18

    I swear last year Herrera had an interview with some outlet every single day, so the fact that he comes up with his first bullshit of the season only in September is actually quite admirable. Other than being a massive **** on the pitch and in his comments regards City, he at least seemed to be...

    West Brom (a) League Cup pre-match thread

    Almost forget that this is also the Mangala vs. Evans derby. Hope the Mangler finally opens his scoring account for us and has a hattrick.

    Raheem Sterling - 2017/18 performances

    He started out quite badly at Watford but still was the one that wanted to make things happen and his ability to open and run into spaces is phenomenal, he was definitely the most active of our front three, and it's not like Sergio or Jesus were doing bad either. As the game went on, finally his...

    John Stones - 2017/18 performances

    He made a few mistakes against Watford, one which could have been even costly (albeit at like 0-4), but some neat play out from the back and showed great aggression and acceleration too. There was one moment, maybe I'll do a gif later, where we seemed to do a bit too of this passing thingy out...

    Kevin De Bruyne - 2017/18 performances

    And his defensive headers and tackles, too. :) Another complete display from him on Saturday (just rewatched the game).

    West Brom (a) League Cup pre-match thread

    Good thing that even if Yaya is not considered for selection (though who knows), we can have Delph as the pivot, even though quite obviously he's not at Yaya's level especially in this position, and Gundogan and Foden and Bernardo as other option in that 'false 8' thingy in front of the pivot...

    Ederson Moraes - 2017/18 performances

    Haha, so true. I'm not even sure any of his big goal kicks were captured on live TV broadcast. Surely someone can remind those who are responsible for it...

    Ederson Moraes - 2017/18 performances

    He's definitely left footed, he always uses it when under no pressure. In fact, I even think he has big room to improve on his right as he could have used it in some situations more often. But I feel like a dick complaining about a goalkeeper's distribution or foot skills, when he already just...

    Watford (a) pre-match thread

    I can see the logic in this but surely in such case it we should go with 3 at the back and the two wing backs would then be Silva and De Bruyne, firing up the crosses towards' John's head. :)

    Benjamin Mendy - 2017/2018 Performances

    This, and his ball retention also. After he controlled a ball with a tackle he just takes total control of it so easily. I noticed the same thing from Bernardo and I'm quite sure that this is something what hugely impresses Pep too.

    John Stones - 2017/18 performances

    It's not even the goals, he just had a brilliant all round game today and against Liverpool too.
