Maddisons now out for a few months, Udogie and Romero out for a bit, City coming up. Ultimately I don’t think they have the squad depth to keep the charge going.
But sure they undoubtedly had a good run but I guess people were right, City are inevitable…
You can’t say RIP if there never was a title challenge to begin with. Everyone was saying we’re gonna struggle to be mid-table w/out Kane, and now the agenda is that we had a title challenge, which one is it? And I’m sorry but the omission of Van de Ven is inadmissible.
Liverpool, Arsenal, Spurs and Chelsea taking points of each other just to let City win, like every year.
Who was saying yous would struggle to be mid table ? Morons ?
So they were saying you were likely To finish bottom half ? Come on
Folk were saying we’d be relegated with no Kane and an “Unprepared for the Premier League” manager mate
3 things make me root for Big Ange.
I’m a United fan, but I fucking hate spurs.
Mainly because a couple of my mates are spurs and they’ve just become impossible to have a sensible conversation with.
The sooner they bottle it, the better.
Our own fan base is big enough that no one agrees on anything (except Glazers out) and I’ve met enough knobs in united fan pages to make me not judge a club based on their vocal fans.
tbf it’s not so unlikely. they’re out of the dfb pokal, lost the super cup, bayer leverkusen look unbeatable and the CL just has better teams like Madrid and City
I’m trademarking “No Pain, No Kane” just in case.
You had a real easy season start and got a few ‘lucky’ results too to keep you lot up there.
I always figured you’d drop off once the games and injuries start stacking.
Hey! We took points off City too! If anyone else could do so (thanks Wolves!), that would be great. 👍
I had you down to finish 8th at the start of the season, so far you (and Wolves who I said would do gown) are the only 2 teams who I’ve already accepted I was clearly wrong about
Van de Ven is argualy the biggest loss for me. Losing his pace will be a hit if Postegoglou perists with his high line, which evidence to date suggests he will.
Who replaces Maddison
Honestly Bissouma-PEH-Sarr is a very decent midfield
I think Kulusevski can play centrally, he’s certainly got the engine
I think Bentancur. Sarr has been good and he knows his position. Bentancur on the other hand can play anywhere. He will be a great fit for the gap left my Madders.
Our biggest issue is lack of CB depth. If this happened in Jan we could just splash and buy someone. But that’s life.
Let City win. Come on now. You aren’t actually suggesting a title challenger throws a game against a rival just so City don’t win the title. That’s insane.
Title challengers play to win every game no matter who its against and its ridiculous to do otherwise. Unless, of course, you go down to 10 men when you’re 1-0 up at home against local rivals, that cant break down low blocks, and decide its better to lose playing a high line than try to win playing a low block. Then its ok to decide to lose apparently.
City win because they have the best manager in the world, the best team in the world, 400m sat on the bench every weekend & 115 charges that nobody wants to do anything about.
