MANoWAR

City now have Touré as an option which might cause some problems to our midfield similar to what Dembele did. Their defence isn't the best so if we can press their backline we could secure a fine result. Draw would do fine but I'm worried about what Pep might have tactically

Really? The only issues I see they have is to do with their defensive organisation -- in particular among set pieces. Their attack is spectacular and each individual player they've had from last season has now improved.

Liverpool look phenomenal tbh

f**k I'm feeling so nervous. Hope they don't thrash us f**kkkkkkkkkkkkk

Hope it's not a Mourinho type game where we look strong but they nick a scrappy goal but then defend pretty well after

looks like a 4-2-4 of sorts edit nvm radio saying it's 3-5-2

Warnock surely has to be in? He's been involved in a lot of sh*t over the years Also, Sky Sports News says there's a couple of managers who managed internationally.

Normally teams would at least score or create multiple of chances against them in this time of match but clean sheet was never in doubt.

the scary as f**k thing is if we don't make top 4 some of our better players might look to leave

Xhaka on ffs

If this defensive calamity keeps going on I struggle to see how we're gonna make top 4. Please Terry Zouma be a good partnership again

@RMCM so basically we need another right winger

The entire back 5 f**ked up for that goal what the f**k man

ffs cahill spends far too long on the ball. Rubbish at defending aside from those last ditch tackles inb4 "stop being so reactionary" been like this for a while Begovic was a bit suspect there too

Something to bear in mind is that Kante isn't really being played in his favoured position. Kante's pushed a little deeper than he would like, forcing him to remain deep and relatively static when at Leicester he preferred to be able to chase down opposition midfielders more flexibly. Of course Matic did play further forward in a 4-3-3 at Benfica but I feel it'd be better if they were to switch positions a little. Seemed like Kanté was just being passed around by Liverpool the other day which broke our attack down since Matic didn't really know what to do and Kanté had some struggles trying to cover all the bases he needed to, and hence our positioning looked a bit poor.

Have a fairly difficult fixture list from now until December start (Boro aside) so hopefully Conte works it out soon

Conte always made late subs at Juventus

The comments on this article infuriate me. They're always so poor http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/37334869

Conte's subs have always been quite late -- even in his days at Serie A

Ivanovic looks lazy as hell

What do you think Manchester United's performance? Do City have a higher potential you think?

TIL what downing tools means. Never heard that before

Koulibaly is an immense CB tbf. Only Chiellini was better than him in possession (and Bonucci was better as an overall defender) and he's an absolute beast physically -- haven't really seen him get bullied off the ball. Very technical for a defender Price perhaps might be a bit too steep though but 50m would be a fair price edit: When I say Chiellini was better in possession I don't only mean in Serie A. Very few players across the world leagues can match him for that

Side note, but it looks like Man City are gonna sign Gundogan according to some reliable sources in Germany
