I've seen that video of that Roofe card now and he's genuinely unlucky, he actually played the ball first but obviously his foot was high and got the worst outcome. Most players would have gone for it though.

Bit like Manes on Ederson a while back.
Stills can make it look gruesome though. ( great photo).

Mourinho says his biggest ever success was with Inter. It certainly was an achievement. But when he went nose to nose with City in the prem, his Utd squad was as good as Citys. The main difference was Pep v Mourinho. He just does not get the best out of his players. In fact I would say he has destroyed more players than he developed. I think OGS is the same, he don’t get the best out of players. But he don’t destroy them. For me the managers that get the best are Pep, Klopp, Tuchel, Rodgers To name but a few.
I hope Mourinho stays ? The fans deserve better though.

I disagree with that mate. Utd's side of 2016-2018 was nowhere near City. Mourinho overachieved with that squad and even now, despite all this talk of progression, Ole won't come close to his points total or trophies.

Spurs are just full of flakes bar the usual names. As soon as one of Kane or Son is out there is nothing else. That said the result last night was absolutely laughable.

City will get done by Bayern in the semi finals in the CL, IMO. Over two legs Bayern will have too much for you. And a Jose masterclass at Wembley for the League Cup ;)
 
By the way, great to see the PFA appoint the right man for the job. Journeyman pro, retired early and got a law degree before running a club in Spain. All angles covered (y)

gonna be interesting re the City half of the draw. City’s tight defence against Dortmund’s Haaland and others. If we get past that. The other game PSG Vv Munich is a stonker. PSG have started leaking a few defeats. Come what may good games for the neutrals.

I still believe that Stones is an awful defender, he just hasn't had to do any defending for a long time. Someone like Haaland could actually embarrass him.
 
Stones was an awful defender when playing alongside Otamendi, when at the side of Kompany he was quite decent, his problem was niggly injuries. That said Rodri and Gundoghan in front of Dias and Stones and City have a solid base there. I couldn’t imagine me saying that last year.

Dortmund are nothing, you'll win that no trouble. Ditto Bayern v PSG. Bayern are over the injury situation and warming up nicely. PSG were lucky not to get knocked out by Barcelona the other week, Poch is having trouble managing some of the egos in the side. Should be some cracking games though!
