Still don't really see the lack of striker being such a huge issue for city. You won two trophies and were one game away from winning the big one. That was without your striker. 

Of course other teams have strengthened but City's consistency is going to be so hard to beat.

We will compete for the title as we have a good defence and will put the middle and lower table teams away. I just worry about not being clinical enough against the top teams. If we score first, we generally go on to give them a hiding. Too many times though, we have created loads of chances, not took any and then been sucker punched.

Just not on Portuguese soil 😉

Couldn't resist that one. Anyway I too think not having a striker WILL at some point catch up with City. I expect them to challenge in all comps but I think there will be moments when a number nine is needed.

Phil Foden for the Messi false 9 role.

Foden would be a good false Messi

Hampden today with a bigger crowd than in a while. 
 

Hopefully we won’t try Robertson at right back again 🙈

Interested to see how Gilmour plays. I’m expecting he’ll see a lot of the ball.

Patrick Bamford - The Michael Ricketts of 2021.

Being a Leeds forward is alot like being a Burnley defender. The system the team players probably flatters you a bit.

If a striker doesn’t receive the ball how is he meant to score. 
 

The most exciting part of the game was watching the balloon near the halfway line.

Hilarious

I assume the idea is to get rid of the euros? Or are we going to give our elite players 1 summer off every 4 years?

No the plan is to have a Euros every 2 years aswell. So no summers off.

I remember being offered hundreds for my ticket to Fergie’s last ever game.

Didn’t sell.

You got to see his last game and 10 goals. Wise choice.

Young lad by the name of Romeu Lukaku scored a hat trick that day. Whatever happened to him?

Hes been found guilty?

Wrexham got 8000 plus yesterday for a national league game. Also been announced as the first non league team to get in Fifa. You can't get a home football top and it's tough to get a ticket. The owners really know how to play the social media game. Just need to translate it to results on the pitch.

We (Aldershot) are playing them at home in a few weeks. We’ve lost five out of five so far so can see that being the match where it all clicks together for the ‘Wrexham Red Dragons’.
