Alex. Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 City looked excellent tonight. Comfortably the best team from the opening weekend fixtures. Professional and sharp. Silva untouchable. Best player on the pitch by a mile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iskaral Pust Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 City definitely the sharpest of the top teams so far. Something lit a fire under them. And Toure and Kompany somehow reversed last season's form. That really sets up their game against Chelsea. I'm very surprised that a Pulis team couldn't defend better than that.

baxus Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 City looked excellent tonight. Comfortably the best team from the opening weekend fixtures. Professional and sharp. Silva untouchable. Best player on the pitch by a mile City did impress last night, not just with the scoreline, but with the way they controlled the match the whole time. Sterling's finishing still leaves quite a bit to be desired, but I'd be very surprised if he'd managed to improve it significantly in a short period he's spent at City so far.

Raja Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 I think his team-mates are still getting used to him - he made plenty of good runs but wasn't picked out by anyone. Silva in particular seemed to *just* miss the right moment to pick him out. I'm sure the cohesiveness will come in time. Also, Arsenal aren't bottom of the table :commie: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baxus Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 @Raja: Sure, he's done some good things last night. He had to in order to get in a great goal scoring opportunity or two. Sterling is a very good young player, with loads of potential and a great shot at making the most of that potential. But we will all agree that his game is not perfect and his finishing needs significant improvement. The same applied when he was in Liverpool and necessary improvements couldn't really happen overnight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJDonegal Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Alex - What's the name of that bar in Dalston you said shows the Saturday 3 o'clocks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex. Posted August 11, 2015 Author Share Posted August 11, 2015 Place called the Brewery Tap by Dalston Junction Overgrond station. It's not on Google maps. Out the station, turn left onto the main road. It's a brown frontage with the word "BAR" in gold letters across it before the tescos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kairparavel Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 http://prosoccertalk.nbcsports.com/2015/08/11/photo-fenerbaches-mehmet-topal-shot-at-in-istanbul-after-training Fenerbaches Mehmet Topal has had a lucky escape on Tuesday, as club officials have confirmed that the midfielders car was shot at following training. Crazy!The motive for the attack is not known, but Fenerbaches team bus was shot at in April while travelling from the airport in the city of Trabzon. The Turkish league was suspended for a week after that shooting incident which saw the bus driver hospitalized after he was hit in the face. Welcome to Turkey, RVP!

Alex. Posted August 11, 2015 Author Share Posted August 11, 2015 Have to blame a bad result on something, Mark Antony, and you certainly can't say the other team were better...

mormont Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Part of me wonders if this is down to Mourinho ego... I will lay a good money bet that he did not like having someone else on the bench that the fans seemed to like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iskaral Pust Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Mourinho's need to always deflect via scapegoat is his most predictable trait. Are footballers really such fragile babies that they need such shielding? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The "Rooney Rule" in question is a load of crap anyway. The Rooney Rule is used in the NFL to ensure ethnic minority candidates are adequately represented in the interview process for head coaching positions. How would that work, exactly? For example, Klopp decides to take up a team in the Premiership midway through the season. Are there any minority candidates that can be serious contenders for the job?

Consigliere Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Anyone watching the Uefa Super Cup? It's been good so far. Scores level at one apiece with two fantastic free-kicks; one by Banega and one by Messi. ETA. Ha! Messi pops in another great free-kick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
