Thought I recognised the Aussie weasel. Utter shite

Bottler, I reckon he thought it might be in the box, so he would leave it to var to sort out

The problem is not City's - it's the other teams that always have 9 or 10 men behind the ball. I love the way they always find a way to break them down.
Football is always more exciting end to end - but 98% of the teams are afraid to attack them.

I do like this Doku mind, a bit more my style. They are the only top team that bore me, Liverpool and Arsenal I enjoy. The Arsenal inevitable-era teams were great to watch as well, and teams sat off them.

They're 3-1 up here and the City fans are silent. Boring.

It’s genuinely scary that whoever said that has actually watched foden and doesn’t rate him

I have a feeling it’s a poster with football in their name

 

[tenpins]

He ahem who he wants

That's quite polite.

The chairman of the Jonny Evans fan club?

 

[Sporty]

That some people have handed the title to City already, and others had ruled them out completely.

This! Yet few, if any would probably dare put a bet on it

No comment

This I reckon.

(Which is an issue with var, if it’s impacting onfield decisions but that’s a side point)

City just play football at walking pace, Jobe would be a revelation for them.

 

[Frasmotic]

Nicely done

That's how a match thread op should look like.
Missing the referee lets it down a little.

 

[SAFCftm1986]

City can be boring as hell at times. All that talent and just play walking, pass it for the sake of it football when they could just score goal after goal after goal if they actually tried

 

[tenpins]

Didn't realise Brentford had lost 9 of their last 11.

Bog off

 

[forever changes]

Foden might just make the England squad for the euros now.

Not Southgate’s favourite

Say no more, I’m no longer surprised.

It's not that simple. Sometimes they play possession football as a way of defending, other times they just patiently move the ball around waiting for a space to open up and when they see it they are as direct and as fast as anyone.
Fantastic team and football from another world. Arsenal did a good imitation of them yeasterday against Liverpool though.

 

[Peter in Leeds]

Man City's style of play bores me to tears. They are probably the most effective team in English football history, but it's not an enjoyable watch imo.

Stop watching then if it bores you.

 

[scott934]

Stop watching then if it bores you.

It's finished anyway mate.

Not a good season at all for Brentford this, mind you they have over-achieved massively in the last couple of seasons
