Another example, in the euros he fucked up which led getting knocked out. Later on in that game, he saved a one on one, which was straight at him and Danny Murphy said he's looking unbeatable today. He actually made a worst mistake just before that save too. I don't buy the hype with him, great keeper admittedly, but not as good as some make out.

Yes, he ha a bad tournament and got let off completely - I remember the occasion you're talking of. He made several great saves in that game but threw in a couple of absolute rickets which he was let off 'cos he'd done some good stuff. Only Buffon of the elite keepers had a good tournament - Lloris and Neuer were also flaky.
 
Looks like he's playing it safe tonight no Rooney, zlatan or pogba
Even if they loose Northampton will have only beaten the kids/reserves

Prob already been posted on this thread but I've only just seen this in ragcafe. Made me laugh. He's comparing the city and utd squads.

Goalkeeper
The easiest verdict to reach, De Gea is simply the best in the world for me therefore even if Bravo does settle in immediately it still wouldn't swing it City's way.
Verdict: UNITED

Defence
I've split it into full backs and centre backs in my mind. For full backs it's clear we have the best one of either squad in Shaw and what with Valencia's resurgence (hopefully continuing) I'd call it a draw because despite City's wealth of experience across Sagna, Zabaleta, Clichy and Kolarov, simply put I think all 4 are past their best. It's just our backups in Darmian and Rojo leave a lot to be decided. As for centre backs I think we quite comfortably lead the way, Smalling, Bailly, Blind surpasses Stones, Otamendi, Kompany. Done us both a favour by excluding Jones and Mangala.
Verdict: UNITED

Midfield
After keepers this was the next simplest decision. Again we have the best midfielder of either squad in Pogba and our remaining options of Herrera, Fellaini, Schneiderlin and Carrick make for a pretty well balanced selection. City will be relying on Gundogan to return well from injury but even given that happening they still only have Fernandinho, Fernando and Delph. Schweinsteiger and Yaya cancel each other out as neither look like featuring or playing any sort of substantial role this season.
Verdict: UNITED

Attack
This was extremely tight, largely due to the similarities in our arsenals e.g. Ibra and Aguero star men, Rashford and Iheanacho up and coming. De Bruyne is simply league's ahead of Rooney as the main playmaker but similar could be said for Martial and Sterling. Silva perhaps takes the edge over Mkhi at this time purely based on his experience in the league whilst the impact of our squad players (Lingard, Memphis, Sane, Navas) is yet to be seen whilst Nolito looks like a steady addition. I confess I do see City scoring more than us this season so I'll give them the edge.
Verdict: CITY

What does everyone think? It's quite clear to me now I've laid out my thoughts which is why I'm surprised so many pundits keep saying City's squad on paper is the best. I think they have an abundance of riches in attack but it's a very top heavy squad, there's question marks over their defence and midfield for me.

I bet even the rag Café members were pissing themselves at this one.....Martial so much better than Sterling! Ha Ha. Nurse!!!!
 
Ive stayed in that hotel where the scum are staying tonight, it was filthy and blocked my sinuses up, could hardly breathe. Fingers crossed!
