If we win this we will certainly have to up our game abit against fluminese.

Quite a bit, I'd say

Bailing out. This thread is beyond depressing and in parts, ridiculous. People don’t seem to realise what this game is, who the oppo is or the conditions.

Enjoy the game those who can.

Really think we need to break the bank in January. Tho the players we seemed to be linked with are not exactly top tier.

What are the chances City sign somebody who can learn to play in their system quick enough for it to matter?

Jack is extremely valuable when they have a lead, it's just that he only has two options when he's on the ball and City need a goal. He either passes it back or cuts inside onto his right foot. You can literally see defenders anticipating him cutting onto his right foot so he never has a lane to shoot. He could create a lot more space for himself if he tried to get behind the defense every now and then.

But that would mean sprinting

Urawa Red twat? Sorry couldn't resist.

When I saw their banner that said Pride of Urawa. That confined their rag status to me.

 

[Bluemoonadam]

I'd say we have to find 3 or 4 more levels from tonight

Definitely pal, Hope we can score a couple goals this next half I'll be a little bit more confident then.

A few weeks ago the US broadcaster also mentioned he’d been asked to be called Mateus. They’d gotten some communication from the team or Premier League about it, it sounded like.

I remember that and had forgotten about it but then it’s not my job to get peoples names correct…

Does anyone get pissed off with the same shite every week , opposing teams parking the bus and showing no ambition , weirdly on of the best football macthes ive watched this season was Villa away at least they gave it a go and beat us fair and square.
It makes a change instead of individual mistakes costing us points against Chelsea,Spuds and Palace , six points dropped that we might rue at the end of the season

No. They're entitled to play however they want and given recent results, it's a tactic that works rather well against us. Why should they make things easier for us?

These teams play the same way against arsenal, dippers etc, difference is they tend to play with pace, have plenty of shots and play percentages when it isn't going to plan and tend to break them down. This season, we almost play into their hands by playing even more slowly. it's entirely on us to break them down.

Why did that red for Rodri totally derail us. We were flying before that card

 

[wattle]

Makes me laugh that they haven’t even got anyone in the studio for half time. Just these two pricks babbling on again about bollox. Just imagine them doing that if certain other teams were playing
