Well taken but absolutely appalling defending, why his marker decided to sit off him (playing everybody onside into the bargain) I'll never fathom. No wonder they're sitting bottom of the league, conceding 56 goals in 22 games. Such a shame for them that their best CB is at Liverpool :)
 
That 1st goal yesterday felt pure Aguero to me.

I thought his play with others was good too. If he goes to any top team he'll have less room when camped inside and outside the smaller team's box. So he will have to become a "Pep type" player then anyway.

Really hope we get him but I am not confident because of the higher wages others will pay and the fact that we are less desperate than others.

Totally agree in terms of what the club would like but not sure a player of the quality of Laporte would be happy with that.

Isn't it the same as any other season except for the situation for 15 games while he was injured and Dias-Stones were on fantastic form?

(2 from Kompany-Laporte-Otamendi)
(2 from Stones-Laporte-Otamendi)

To be fair to Pep he started playing Laporte much sooner than most of us wanted. I think Pep knew that just having 2 primary CBs is insufficient. Whereas us fans see everything rosy on paper.

Haha. This is satire right?

He's talked about in the same breath as Mbappe. I know Mbappe is 18 months older, but if you said, can Mbappe score a bundle of goals in a counter attacking team, the answer would be a clear yes. If you then ask, could Haaland score the kind of goals Mbappe does in a team playing against packed defences, then I'd have to say "I don't know".

Right now, we're assuming Haaland can achieve whatever he wants, but he doesn't stand out skilful - more an athletic phenomenon.
