No Biggie. The league is a better prize.There were times last season when we were simply awesome.
The way we dismantled an excellent Napoli team.
How we romped away from Stoke when they annoyed us by pulling the score back to 3-2.
The first half of the home Derby when we ran the rags ragged demonstrated the real gap between us and second in the league.
So many moments like that during the last season.
However, it was an utter disgrace that the stand out team of the Premier league did not grace the stage for the Champions league final.
We were cheated out of that appearance and anyone with half an eye open would have understood....

How do you stop City?
Well, you've got to get the ball off us first. I don't see those 75%+ possession stats changing at all, so yeah, nick the ball and try and do something with it. When you're already 3-0 down and getting your asses whipped. Good luck!

don't remember such a detailed or indeed any analysis like this when the rags were dominating the league, I could be wrong but I think the BBC could be biased.

Crossed my mind too. The ****s would love nothing more than us to fail next season

he's a Celtic fan first, and then his big English club is Ipswich, unsurprisingly. Lives in Ipswich doesn't he?Brazil has often referred to United as, we. I don't know, some people just hear what they want to ;-)

No problem with this, other than last season counts for nothing and we have to work hard ourselves to be as hard to beat this season.
I expect also then that the BBC will be publishing similar articles on how to make United less boring, Liverpool more consistent and for Chelsea how to survive more than two seasons without upsetting Abramovic.

A set of players, incidentally, who altogether cost less than what PSG paid for Mbappe and Neymsr.I enjoyed that read, actually. But that is more because of my love of granular football analytics than the BBC’s placation of the various shades of red supporting masses.
As others have said, it can ultimately be summarised as “if you are better than City in every area of the game that day you have a higher chance of winning”, which is a monumental insight, of course.
I await their in-depth eleven-part series on “How to stop: De Bruyne, Sane, Silva, Aguero, Jesus, Sterling, Mahrez, Bernardo, Foden, Diaz, and Gundogan.”
Would love to see Mbappe here but there is no question which set you would prefer, a complete, well balanced team versus two galacticos

Put simply, that article is one of the sincerest compliments to have been paid to the Centurions team to date.
It also has an air of desperation about it.

Doesn't change what I said. He loves all things rag.
