Football

I don't think there are any, and I don't see Haaland being a fit for Guardiola's style of football. Though I'm sure both are capable of adapting.

I don't see Haaland fitting in at all. Fro. My basic watching of him and a basic understanding of city and how they do well. You have to be able to move all the time at pace and he's really big. It just looks like zlatan at Barca.

Pretty sure Harland has been recorded as the fastest (or top 3) player in the Bundesliga.

I can imagine, but it's about constant movement. Again, not sure about his overall game but from what I've seen its "sprint from half way line onto goal, pagga the fuck out of the ball"

Whereas my impression of pep at its best is "get on them, close them down, constantly offer an option to whoever has the ball, pile up on one side, then the other, knacker the other team out, then score 8"

Fun fact - Villa Fulham this afternoon was the first Premier League match where all starting players were born after the start of the Premier league.

Hoping city vs Dortmund is a good game to watch. Interesting to watch Haaland.

not going to watch the game but looked at the line-ups. hope city do it and love the fact they line-up with no recognised strikers.

Ref has had bad few mins in this game. City are v good.

Yeah I like how City are setting up.

Yeah the referee is having a shocker. Is Emre Can still on a booking?

Also don't know why Dias didn't get a booking for simulation grabbing his head like he was shot.
Edit wasn't Dias. Can't rember who tho

Kevin de Bruyne is just ridiculously good.

well not entirely unexpected, our current hot one week, cold the next form is matching the british weather

late stage champions league games just aren't the same without crowds, we really need the 12th man next week

we really need the 12th man next week

So who’s the ref then?

John Aldridge.

Mount and Chilwell with lovely taken goals last night. Always good to see a goal keeper stepped round. Was a lovely drag past. Reminiscent of Torres in 2012!
mount is a clearly a good player why does he get the detractors.

Fully Hoping Arsenal step up tonight and smash Slavia Prague tonight.

I was hoping the same. Second leg maybe.

There was this article in The Guardian today about Slavia's 19 year old Senegalese striker. It must be horrible for him having to play alongside Kudela and the others who tried to defend him.

Can't rely on Arsenal. Fingers crossed for 2nd leg.
in Chelsea news... Tuchel insults Pulisic

FFS Fulham.

WTF Leeds.

1st goals at anfield in 2021, thank goodness the fans weren't there to see that run

Haverts showing some class today. Think I'm becoming a bit of a fan boi. Wished he had scored that 2nd one for him. Would have been wonderful

Just caught up, what a performance... Up, down, never a dull moment being a blues fan...

up and down like a bride's nightie
