So you think come December 1st we will be out of the title race?Not with you on this. I reckon that pretty much scuppers us. One left back, two strikers and three centre halves at the club, and we lose Mendy, Aguero and Kompany. All 3 positions were areas of concern this summer, and indeed we were looking to address our shortcomings in all of them.....but we failed, and now the inevitable (in terms of the worst always happening to us) has occurred. We face months with a central midfielder playing left back, and pinning our hopes on Stones and Jesus, who will have to play Saturday/Wednesday for months without a rest staying fit. Yes we can put Sterling up top, yes we can put Delph at left back, but neither is a natural in those key positions, and both represent a marked drop off in quality. An inbuilt propensity to flap notwithstanding, the last 24 hours has pretty much derailed our season in my opinion, given the intensity of our programme and the supremely competitive nature of this league
Laughable, makes the last ditch signing of Sanchez look even more unprofessional. Should of secured his signature earlier in the window.
So the weakest parts of the squad for coverage are LB, CB and CF and all our best players are injured in those positions. Typical City dead? Is it fuck!

AbsolutelyCF is the weakest part of the pitch for coverage? Complete and utter bollocks.
We've got one of the best young strikers in the world for cover, that's better than anyone else in the league.
United have 1 backup, Rashford.
Chelsea have 1 backup, Batshuayi.
I'll take Jesus over both of them every single day of the week.
Christ you talk some shit.
Do you think footballers work every day? Don't you know that they have days off like everyone else?
