Seems like a very odd gamble when they play so many games. Pep seems to do this every so often, tries to be too clever.
What I couldn’t understand last night was Rico Lewis dropped into the centre of the park at every opportunity. That left three at the back with a centre half making his debut 😳 The signs were there very early on that City could be exposed.
That aside you have to give credit to Sporting, Amorim set up a team that was very organised, hard working and played with Pace. Everything that Utd don’t do. One thing I noticed. Sporting liked at time ps to play a high line and City not once exploited it. If that happens in the prem it will be picked up on.
Bottom line, from what I saw last night, if was was a Utd fan I would be very happy.

Which makes his goal return of 162 goals look worse.
Jesus was understudy to Aguero, he never cut the mustard. If he had, we would not of gone for Haaland, Alvarez who was a better player and goal scorer. Again left like Jesus for more football which I totally understand. Neither player has set Arsenal or athletico alight.

Man Utd fans will always be happy to see man City lose, regardless of who does it (well, perhaps with the exception of Liverpool I suppose) :)

Famous billboard in Liverpool !

“Jesus saves but Dalglish scored from the rebound! “It was on the church billboard!😳
Depends on who you support and how old you are.😬

I remember, “but Latchford scores the rebound” and as a kid had a badge with that on, me Dad did tell me though that he remembered the 60’s and Lpool fans using it with “but St John scores the rebound”

Also the other poster: What would you do if God came to Liverpool? and someone wrote underneath:
Move St John to right wing!

So kudos has been given an extra 2 match ban

OTT in my opinion, 1 max on top. 5 matches for that. Yeah ok

But the main gripe is how has it taken until TODAY to decide?

It's 3 weeks since? Should be sorted within a week.
