VillaChris Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 Leeds are going to win this aren't they? Another premier league side they've comfortably nulified. I did wonder if their defence would hold up at top level but looking good so far. Cue loads of posts on here this is Man. City's worst performance in about 10 years like Liverpool on the opening day.

penguin Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 How is B.Silva starting on the bench? Perfect replacement for the creativity they are missing with no D.Silva. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They nearly allowed Fulham to come back from 4-1 down and their keeper kept them in the game against sheff u. They've done well today but I still think people are going over board with them.

At all costs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KenjiOgiwara Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 (edited) Will be interesting to see this out. This is normally when the best teams just change into gear and score 1 - 2 more Edited October 3, 2020 by KenjiOgiwara Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 Man. City have hardly any attackers on the bench, I see Rory Delap Jr is a regular in their 18 atm. Way it's going they'll have to put on Fernandinho to secure the 1-1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've done well today but I still think people are going over board with them. Keeper made one fantastic first half v Lundestram but I thought they were comfortably the better team in second half at Bramall Lane. We would all be happy going there and playing like that and winning 1-0. Yeah they were sloppy v Fulham but still showed enough about themselves to hold on for last 25 minutes. That game gave an indication of what they can do v weaker defences although Fuham is probably a special case this season of ineptitude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's always the difference in these type of games and indeed scored in the cup final out of little when we were doing o.k. Can remember us beating them once under Lambert when he was injured so certainly more likely to get a result v them with him injured. No reason why we can't have a good go at Liverpool tomorrow. We gave them two good games last year and certainly should've got at least a point out of one of those. Mane out is also big.

I agree, I'd be happy with that result. I just think there are lots of ups and downs with them. When it starts to even out I think they'll be a pretty average team.

penguin Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 They play without fear and try and win every game, you have to credit them for that. City have been woeful since scoring but they have also pressured them and not allowed them to coast through the game. Its a shame their fans by and large and such **** whoppers or they’d be a good team for the neutral! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think they'll finish 7th like Wolves as Wolves had a much stronger 11 when they came up. Their start was similar to Leeds though as Wolves drew 1-1 with Man. City at home in their 3rd game in 18/19 and that gave notice they'd give most a game as Leeds will do. Hopefully we've got enough about ourselves to at least keep up with Leeds, the signs from our first two games are promising at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
