polishgenius Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 Manchester City's longest unbeaten run this season is 5 games, which means that they've been less able to stay unbeaten than than Leicester, Chelsea, us, Wolves, Arsenal, Sheffield United, Burnley, Newcastle, West Ham and Watford. It's been a strange old season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soylent Brown Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 Let's not knock strange now, I for one don't think it would be a bad thing if next season was more of the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Consigliere Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 Milan/Juve turned out to be a great game. Juve looked to be cruising at 2-0 up but Milan turned it around in the space of five 2nd half minutes to go 3-2 up and eventually won 4-2. I can't believe that this shit Juve side is going to win the Scudetto. Sarriball sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, the City game and Liverpool game respectively basically was this title race in a nutshell. City dominate the game, but fail to put away their chances. From what I saw, they could or should've scored three or more. And on the other side of the pitch, they conceded from one of the two good opportunities they offered Southampton. Liverpool were hardly brilliant, but they were just ruthless when it came to convert on the few good chances they created. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polishgenius Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 The fact that Bukayo Saka has got 12 assists across all competitions this season despite being 18 and playing the vast majority out of his best position is a bit of a madness. Telling ya, best prospect in the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s been the heart of this mediocre milan side for so many years and he’s only 21. You have to think if they don’t get CL in the next couple year he will seek a big move. He certainly deserves one. Chelsea should be trying their hardest for him imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polishgenius Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 We're obviously likely to be looking at Henderson as our next keeper once De Gea is deemed unfit for duty, but tbh I really like the idea of us signing Dormammu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Consigliere Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 Donnarumma's contract expires at the end of next season so I think that rules us out. We won't give up on either De Gea or Henderson within the next 12 months. The transfer fee should be reasonable given he has only a year remaining but Raiola is his agent so whoever wants to sign him should be prepared to get rinsed on the commission. Of course he could be tempted to renew with Milan depending on how things turn out with Ralf Rangnick taking over as manager and technical director from next season.

Soylent Brown Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 Williams is keen but he makes a lot of poor choices. Very one-footed too, which isn't ideal if he wants to be considered an option at leftback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AncalagonTheBlack Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 Gomez should have been closer to Trossard no? but great pass from the Brighton kid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soylent Brown Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 2-1 now. Both of our goals came from turnovers after poor play from Brighton defenders, but left to our own devices we've created nothing useful and look dodgy at the back every time Brighton have the ball. This seems to happen almost every game lately - we look ineffective and the opposition look dangerous. And then Mane or Salah score anyway and we scrape a win.

He’s looked pretty quick when he’s played at right back. I think he’s just getting his angles wrong playing such a high line then turning to cover runs in an unfamiliar position. He’s made some mistakes but that’s not a massive surprise and he’s clearly got some good attributes. If he can effectively cover left back as well that’d be pretty useful next season. He does look very right footed though which is a bit of a concern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soylent Brown Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 I think he's shown this evening that he's cover for right back and nothing more. Gomez has been in poor form recently, he seems to have lost all of his composure. A real shame that Matip has yet another long term injury.
