De Bruyne and Jesus overhyped, they've got more neck than a bag of giraffes them fuckers. Over the last week or so it's been a battle between the vermin and Harvey Weinstein for column space.

'I know that it sounds a little odd. But I think that Jose doesn't want big wins early on. Especially at a place like Anfield so early in the season. I've seen Nev give interviews where they say that if United win at Anfield, then they believe they can go for the title.

Would Jose love a win at Anfield? Of course he would. But I don't think he wants the team to blow Liverpool away. He would want a scrappy 1-0 win or a draw, because that would keep the players grounded. Too often we see teams beat a big team away from home and lose the next game against smaller teams. That could be a reason why he set up defensively and conservatively, instead of playing more expansively against Liverpool.

Of course it could just be that Jose just does what he always does against big teams and parks the bus. But I think that if we won convincingly at Anfield, the team would become overconfident and believe that they were going to win the title. And at this point in time, its crucial that the players avoid this, because these players aren't Scholes, Giggs or Nev. They don't have the title-winning experience. They need to stay grounded, keep fighting as the underdog and whatever happens, happens.

Basically, at this moment in time, we need to win the league like 'Leceister', because our players don't yet have the experience to win the title like we used to. For the first half of the season, I think we need to keep grinding out victories, so the players stay grounded and to build up momentum so that when Feb and March come around, we can start blowing teams away for one final push for the title. The last thing we want is for the players to run out of steam by Feb and March, which is what Arsenal used to do when they were relevant, and what could happen to Man City.'

I was reading those threads and had to laugh. You would have to be blind and deaf to think Pogba is better than KDB. Pogba might have a decent youtube compilation of fancy flicks on the half way line which do no not result in anything, but KDB is delivers match winning moments.

Another thing that got me is the fact they think we will slip up, our defence is not all that and so on. Yet they fail to see that they have only played one top half team where they then only managed to have one shot on target. They were absolutely abysmal.

They won't get the ball off us as they are just not technically good enough. They will be chasing shadows and we will tear them to pieces.

Fixed.
 
I just checked the Premier League top scorers table. Imagine my surprise to find Rashford down at equal 24th with only 2 goals. Surely this can't be correct as I read an article last week by Rio Ferdinand comparing him with Mbappe?
By the way City have 4 in the top 10 (Aguero, Sterling, Jesus <all 6> and Sane, 4).
Also what I don't understand is that, according to most reports, Rashford (2 goals, 249 minutes per goal) is a fantastic young English talent, whereas Sterling (6 goals, 80 minutes per goal) is rubbish, and should take a leaf out of Rashford's book.
Am I missing something?
