- Start date
The Lukaku comparisons seem quite apt, imo. It'll no doubt take time for him to settle in and for that cohesion to grow. Not sure it's going to be as straightforward as many thought it would be.
Hopefully this is the case when the season starts. Everyone was raving about them against Bayern in pre season. Bet when the season kicks of they look like maradonna and pele
Gets smashed on Bacardi and Coke like a 16 year old girl and claims the glory of course!
Euro final tomorrow. Not allowoed to play 2 games in 2 days.
Perisic wearing no4 for Croatia NT.
Zidane #5 for RM. And Lassana Diarra once had no 10 at RM. Mad world.
Falls over
Hahaland will get goals but he's closer to Lukaku in play styles than people think. Lakaka would look like prime Ronaldo playing for Dortmund.
I was wondering why the FA did not pick a bigger venue than this. No disrespect to Leicester, but you need a much bigger venue than the King Power Stadium.
Wrote this back in April. City will have to adjust to playing with a target man. Especially one that is not renowned for his technique and playmaking ability.
Haaland looking rusty. Salah, Diaz, Thiago and the fullbacks looking very good for Liverpool.
Because if the two sets of fans are going to trash any city, it might as well be Leicester.
Just by the rule transitive property. If we beat Liverpool 4-0 in preseason and they are beating city at halftime means that we are better than City by, say, 5 or 6 to 0 right? I mean that logic makes complete sense to me. Title is basically ours.
Jeez people still trying to pretend Haaland is like Lukaku. Will be made to look silly I’m afraid…
Pep already contemplating subbing him am sure, Foden would be contributing a lot more.
I wanted to see Raiola-Haaland v Pep this season
Sell hair gel
Newcastle bound
Were Haaland and Grealish even Pep signings? Obviously, early days for Haaland and he could absolutely smash it, but they just don't seem like his type of players. Think it was more the club
Models oven gloves
You know people are kidding, right?
There’s a good few that think he genuinely doesn’t have good build up play. He’s so much better technically.
KDB has had a stinker
Agree, wouldn’t be surprised to see Pep leave him out come the big CL knockout ties
He started last season fairly slowly, then beasted the second half of the season.
Couldn't recover after having FdJ shit all over him...
Wears his socks really low
Looking at the HT stats City had the better of that half in terms of shots and possession. Didn’t feel like it but they had us pinned back as the half went on.
Keane and Wright going in on Grealish but maybe he's being told to play it safe more often by Pep?
Who's winning the match
Grealish has said exactly that in several interviews.
It's not so much playing safe, he's playing shite.
Haaland is a weird signing for me. He's obviously a fantastic player (shrugging of Robertson like that), but he's just not a Pep player at all. Much like Zlatan at Barcelona. They even make weird missplaced crosses with him upfront.
Haaland definitely making City less good based on that first 45.
How's haaland played?
Matterface on Nunez: “the £64m man”.
Scousers and the scouser-fellating media, name a better duo.

Swap “fantastic” for “big and strong” and I agree with everything you’ve said there.
Meh.
OK. Hasn't had much created for him.
But he was 64 million?Matterface on Nunez: “the £64m man”.

I dunno, he's been lethal for all teams he's played for no matter the opposition. I'd say he's both.
