Have brought it into this thread on the basis will City pay?

Messi’s reported contract will be around €2.5 million WEEKLY. That is over 4 years and has been leaked by Spanish paper

As much as I would have Missis name on the back of a City shirt, how long does he have left 2 years. If he wants to play football with Aguero that would only be on. pS5 box. Aguero is knackered. Me I would sooner have Haaland. For a lot less brass.
 
First was a good finish but very preventable.
Yep - criminal to get him that much space and on his left foot as well , only going to be one winner there

The second was just world class - great ball from TAA to start even better first time pace from Shaqiri but that finish was just outstanding

He is just a world class player who should get more recognition Imo
 
First half dull as dishwater.
We came alive when Jones came on and went at them.
Classy finishing from Salah and Gini ( he should score more imo.)
It’s an easy game when you put your chances away.
Thought WH just stood of off us to much.

felt like WH couldnt deal with the press so their midfield retreated more and more as the game went on, probably could have done with an extra body in there to help Rice/Soucek the way Liverpool set up and shouldve looked to move the ball forward quicker when they got it

Didn’t we just! Can see why Moyes has such a poor record against the big sides - it seems he's scared of them.

Very disappointed with our approach today, it was a good test for us to see if we had actually improved but we never stepped up.

Yes Hendo and Phillips were not really stretched at all.
Thought you would be more direct to bypass the midfield.
Can’t be any worse than you did.

Shouldn't be affraid to change your tactics to suit the quality of the side you are playing

Nothing wrong with returning to 5 at the back for such a game

that invites them on more and allows them to overrun you in midfield, thats where you needed an extra body today (most likely at the expense of fornals)

We did it brilliantly at begining of the season ... Turned wolves, Leicester over 3-0 Nd 4-0 in the process

Cresswell moved into midfield from the cb role a lot and got the lion share of his assists just picking out a player

Every time he's played Liverpool, he's been scared stiff of them.
He's more worried about what they'll do to us than the other way round.
And bringing on Nobles a disgrace.

Should be sent off to the glue factory already. Do everyone a favour.

Thought Antonio looked in moron mode.. few times there was a better pass on than he went for


Think we focus too much on the "rubbish" CB but that CB will be used to brute play of the English youth system or just lumping it in box

It's fancy defenders who are off put by basic force

Thought we didn't box clever
 
Is it just me or is there a massive increase in players making snidey little stamps on the foot and ankle lately that get minimally punished? Or was i just not that aware of them before? Almost as the way games are reffed sides find new ways
