What was said

J. Marston

After watching that previous 60 seconds, I've concluded that Benteke is the worst player in the league.

adox

And the refs continue to be utterly inept.

Staggering officiating.

adox

Lindelof at the back.

adox

Balance in midfield again doesn’t look right. Hopefully enough to get past Swansea anyway.

pjohnson

StringerBell

Someone throw in the team there for those of us on work with limited internet

bangkok

looking like pogba back in a midfield 2. yawn

StringerBell

I see, thanks, no faith in that team. Let the meltdown begin!!!!!

bangkok

de gea


valencia......lindelof.......smalling.........young


............matic..........pogba


mata...........lingard..............sanchez


..................lukaku...................

StringerBell

I'd say it will be Jose's 433 that doesn't work too well against ****e teams

Lingard matic pogba
Mata lukaku Alexis

With plenty of the ball hopefully pogba and mata can create enough

maybe, need an early goal anyway to settle the nerves, hopefully get an easy 3 or 4 nil then

StringerBell

Very different Swansea team to what was playing earlier in the season tbf but yeah your right an early goal would do a lot to make this comfortable.

adox

Bollix...

StringerBell

I know Kane is English and de bruyne has been immense but I don't see how you can look beyond Salah for poty. He really does elevate his team way beyond the sum of it's parts. Some season

J. Marston

Palace collapsed against us. They were always going to here as well.

yep, has to be salah, de bruyne has been brilliant but salah is on a different level to everyone in the league right now

thought this was funny as well....

In Egypt's presidential election, more than 1million Egyptians tampered their ballots by crossing out both candidates and writing Mohamed Salah instead.

Could have been a different story if the ref did his job and sent off Sane when it was 1-1.

Absolutely inexplicable refereeing.

Preferred McTominay but think he withdrew from the Scotland squad so maybe isn't 100%

Lord TSC

That team should be murdering Swansea tbh.

Interested to see if Sanchez can put in a shift today

J. Marston

Liverpool ahead of us again and if we don't win, we're probably giving City a guard of honour.

There better be a hugely determined performance today.

Will I Am Not

Does anyone care that much that the players might have to give a guard of honour to City? When the whistle blows to finish any game the vast majority of professional players are respectful to each other. They’re not like us fans talking sh*t about opposition fans.

Is your game today not in the cup?

Edit: I think you meant after the City match next week?

Ah Christ lads watching on NBC when your starving is a baaad idea

adox

I’d just love to see someone alongside Matic with Pogba slightly further forward, no quite a no 10 and just play with that formation for a few games and let the team get used to it.

Having said that there comes a point where players do need to take responsibility for their performances and adapt a bit. While I don’t agree with the formation Jose is mostly playing Pogba in it doesn’t excuse his lack of performances and lack of defensive effort. We know he’s not a defensive midfielder but when the likes of Mata are more reliable defensively then the player really needs to look at what he is doing on the pitch. I think it’s a bit of an excuse for him and a cop out.

Absolutely, it's also a show of class and any team who wins the league deserves the respect of their peers. You don't have to like it and you would hope it would spur in a team but there is nothing wrong with it at all. You should strive to be the team receiving the guards of honour obviously

Whenever I’ve gone to the States on holiday I’ve come back after two weeks about half a stone heavier and I weigh under 11 stone!

It’s ****ing great for two weeks. Food everywhere, cheap as anything, huge portions etc.

I’d definitely be obese if I lived there.

I completely f*cked that up :pac: I was fully convinced ye were playing in the FA Cup today.

Of course he thinks it's a penalty

Plus if we can’t beat Swansea today no harm in these players having to give a guard of honour.

It’s gas. It didn’t hamper Sane at all. Ball at his feet with the defender on his arse. Dive all day long, despite there being contact.

Christ If Pogba doesn’t play well today he’ll get destroyed for that haircut

Agree. City have the league won a long time ago. It will have absolutely no bearing on my day if it’s United players that have to line up and shake their hands. Anyone that might be affected by that can easily change channel.

You know he would crucify young if he did that

Not Pogba's fault I'm sure Jose gave him the haircut.

adox

Anyway let’s hope for a good performance and result.

Nothing would make me happier, despite my continual criticism of him, to see Pogba tun the game.

Two whoppers for seven bucks!!!!

Lads I downloaded NaviXSport from the Play Store today. Worth checking out if your out of the house and want to see the game.

I hope Pogba puts in a confident performance. Not concerned so much with his productivity in as much as I just want to see him look like he’s at least trying... That’s not setting the bar too high!
