Hahahaha. If we want to upgrade our defence then you buy the likes of Boateng, Umtiti, Varane etc. Not shite like Lascelles or Maguire.

If you think them two will propel city then you don’t know football either.

The scum had 3 attacks and scored 3 goals from each of them, I don't think any defenders or defence in the world can defend against that kind of fluky good luck.
This is very much the case and one was from a free-kick as well

If you think Harry Maguire and Jamal Lascelles will take us closer to Barcelona then football isn't the sport for you.

The way I rank our CBs right now:
1- Laporte
2-Kompany
3- Otamendi
4- Stones

Our defense has been poor the last two games, but we have been very unlucky as well. United scored 3 goals from 4 shots on goal, and Liverpool scored 3 from 5 shots on goal. Our opponents are always incredibly clinical against us, but waste huge chances as long as they`re not facing us.

A lot of blues are seeing the figures and making the wrong conclusions.
It is not luck that such a high conversion rate against us exists. If it was 1 or 2 games, then yes. These figures have dogged us now for an extended period.
We have an Achilles heel and it is being exploited in the same way we exploit others teams weaknesses.
We play in a very aggressive attacking manner. We leave gaps behind and in the instance a city player loses possession in midfield or when we overload the opponents area, we are under pressure.
The high line can be an advantage, but also if not worked in the right way can become a liability. The last 2 games have shown up our weaknesses to the nth degree.
I also believe the city players, and pep, became complacent at half time against Utd.
The Opposition are mostly not lucky, they are applying pressure to our weak points, and it is working.
Every other team that has yet to play us will have watched these games in interest. We will win the league, but it is now not going to be the procession it should have been.
