Premier League 24/25

[FCBfan22]

Aaaaand 1-1.

 

[CatalinR10]

City would have ended the game at 0-2 but Gundo decided to lob the keeper instead of passing the ball to Haaland for a 1v1. Lob failed , it was more like a keeper pass.

Now it's 1-1.

 

[FCBfan22]

Newcastle on fire.

 

[FCBfan22]

If Newcastle had a bit more quality with final balls, they would cut City apart today.

 

[Maradona37]

Yeah like I said earlier thought 1-0 at HT flattered City. Newcastle really turning the screw here.

 

[Givenchy]

Weird how City didn't sign an Alvarez replacement or spend much in the summer. If the charges stick and they get a transfer ban they might be in serious trouble.

Also, looks like we may have shifted Gundo at just the right time. rare Laporta W?

 

[FCBfan22]

Tonali is one of the biggest shithousers lately.

Loved him getting stuck into that cock Grealish.

 

[Windhook]

Fantastic play by Bernardo Silva and the GK

 

[Jenks]

No Rodri, no party. Wonder if City will make top four.

 

[jamrock]

Am I loading yet another W for city not winning the league this season?.


Only time will tell.

Rodri is a big blow. It's the heart of this team

Arsenal have their opportunity now to seize the title this season.

I don't think any of the rest can

Agree, Rodri is farrrr more important than say, Haaland. As I said though I just don't trust Arsenal when the pressure is on.

I wonder if Liverpool could be a dark horse. They have a few players I don't rate but Slot seems an intelligent and charismatic guy. A capable operator.

Slot is certainly a tactical genius, but there is no chance for Liverpool this season

It's his 1st year, and the players are learning from scratch stuff
Plus it's even questionable if he wants to work with everything he found. We see for instance that he rates Gravenberch much more than Klopp, while he doesn't rate Endo for instance.
More work to do to have a Slot team

I thought that too, but if City are much more vulnerable this season (which is still a big if despite how important Rodri is) it might open the door for Liverpool as well as Arsenal. Certainly I would favour Arsenal but I think writing off Liverpool entirely is a bit dramatic.

I agree though that the smart money is on either Arsenal or City.

Gravenberch is a good player in my opinion, he just wasn't being used correctly before and even before Liverpool you could see he had ability and athleticism, he just needed time to put it all together. He's 22 now, still young but not incredibly so, so should start to fulfil more of his potential in the coming years. I hope he doesn't regress anyway.

I do get your point though. I just wouldn't discount Liverpool wholly.
