Oof what? That’s mental.


Bruno is becoming a problem too. Probably one of the worst performers in pre-season and from what I saw today, another stinker in every sense.

 

Yeah, the stat was that he scored 4 goals last season, all as a sub. Not scored since against Liverpool at Anfield when starting.

Bruno is a weird one. The one positive today was that Eriksen at least looked pretty good, which fills the creativity hole when Bruno is having a shocker.

 

Seeing Blackburn atop the Championship table after the first two matches is a nice surprise… but I know how this works. They’ll go winless for seven straight at some point.

 

Foden starting on the right wing and I absolutely love it. I have always thought that was his best position.

Also looks like Rico Lewis is going to be on the first team bench until we get another fullback. Seems to be one of the bigger prospects from the newer academy generation.

 

They need both desperately.

 

Rodri don't hurt your own keeper please.

 

Cancelo wearing the 7 is just wrong.

 

Especially with Foden still on 47, need to sort that out.

 

I have been wanting him to change his number for ages but then I read that its the age that his grandpa passed away, so don't think he will be changing it.

 

Haaland just making so many good runs, well deserved PK.

 

City haven't done shit in attack other than the penalty. I think it's going to be the most interesting aspect of them to watch this season – how much they're able to penetrate in behind. Haaland the only threat in that regard right now.

The 2-3-5 from Guardiola is a good idea in terms of getting players up against West Ham's backline and keeping possession but it's interesting that the few times Cancelo went forward and wide instead of tucking into central midfield he was much more of a threat than Grealish.

 

Me and the other 6 million people who captained Haaland today are smiling

 

Haaland might score 100 this season with City feeding him.

 

Naive from West Ham to push up that early imo. They were relatively comfortable defending first half. Thought they'd try and keep it tight and push the lines up in the last 20.

Hardly a surprise but De Bruyne – Haaland will be a killer when games become stretched.

 

I wasn't that impressed with Haaland in the 1st half but he kinda came into his own during the 2nd. He's only going to get better as the season progresses, too. Frightening talent.

 

Haaland doesn’t even have to be good as long as De Bruyne can cook. Can only get more lethal from here.

 

Well, I'm now a Haaland owner in Fantasy. I simply can't go without him v Bournemouth. In hindsight, I should have started the season with him but Kane had Southampton at home. Four goals and no return = jog on Kane.

 

Welcome. I went Salah over De Bruyne and that’s gonna be a big back and forth for awhile.

 

Zouma getting hit square in the face there was very satisfying

 

Grim.

 

what the fuck

 

Are UNAM a pub side from Mexico? Barca are 4-0 up already...

 

with four extremely sexy goals
