That Cancelo geezer seems abit of a snip for 75M

Varane and Cavani out are serious misses for them.
Obviously, Rúben is for us, too.

i don't like this no win for derby ? all the rags are calling the game a freebie and they don't really care if they lose because of the scouers and see it as a helping hand in the title for city (please fuck off) it means everything and manchester city are there rivals and always will be its the biggest game in the season and they will be right up for it make no mistake.

mind games already about the teams and the media seeing it as the title decider for city ? liverpool will win the title today if we lose ?? they even have given the scouce the 3 points at our place hahahaha and also the 3 points vs united to come

As others have said, Ronaldo can always score goals.

The fact he now can’t score against City at the Etihad is a plus point in itself.

We’d never hear the last of the chants from United fans at the match, and afterwards from Untied fans if Ronaldo scored the winning goal.

Ronaldo being out is a plus, plus for me.

Let’s hope Verane is out as well. That would be even better news.

He's their top scorer this season for a reason, which isn't to say he's great, but he is still a threat, clearly. And despite all the "they look better without him chat" I'm not as convinced. They have looked pretty terrible with or without him imo.

Rivalry aside (although not from our perspective) 3pts is all that matters today to keep the heat on those bin dippers!
