    Before the season started i thought city would win the league, but after seeing how liverpool have started the season they look extremely impressive and potential champions. Laporte looks like he will be out for a while as well so improves yer chances even more

    I'd love to agree with all that but I think our squad doesn't have enough depth to handle injuries. Particularly to VVD and Firmino. Hopefully I'm wrong but it's hard to see past a very impressive City fighting all the way to the end.

    City lost De Bruyne last year and it didn't stop them at all. They are a machine and it will take a lot more than the loss of one world class player to slow them down unfortunatly.

    We've gained a Fabinho right from the off this season, he looked a flop for the first 1/3 of last season, now he looks best in the world in his position. Could be the difference this time around.

    If we can keep the back 6 fit (including Fabby in that 6), then we have a chance as the other 5 can rotate to some degree (saving private Bobby)

    They had someone to replace him though.

    They have lost laporte for a long while now it seems and kompany has already left the club.

    Losing a central defender won’t be a big issue for them considering 90% of the teams they play are more concerned with keeping the score down than actually attacking them.

    Can always flattered to deceive. The guy walked his way through matches for us. More often than not it was hendo who was the fall guy when things went tits up, despite doing the work of two men in the middle.
    Nothing against the guy but he was no loss to us and no great benefit to Juve.

    Did he not finish off a lovely team goal? One of our trademark counter attacks.

    Iirc it was cross by Firmino.

    He scored twice vs Hoffenheim to put us into the Champions League proper in 17/18.

    I always liked the guy, disappointing to see it hasn't worked out for him. I don't know why some people have to flip on players who've left and claim they were never any good anyways.

    Pedro Chirivella named in the Premier League squad. Amazed he's still around.

    Have a feeling they'll not really struggle anyway... In most games they could have just about anyone at the back and it wouldn't really matter.

    Between Stones, Otamendi, Walker, and the option of Fernandinho at CB (which actually I think they might well opt for), they'll be grand.

    Also have a feeling Kompany will come back on a short term deal in January, since the management part of his move is already dead.

    Also lol at 'the good old boys' for reporting 'abuse' of Michael Owen. You have a micropenis.
    Unless you're a chick, in which case you have a large clit.

    Have you checked the posting history of all Can denyers to ensure they have actually "flipped" though? If you're going to post about posters rather than players, do your research first!

    Can was a poor player back then and nothing has changed since

    That's a bit childish in all honesty.

    I asked the same question. I am guessing since he is a mod, he can see it?

    FWIW I didn't post that about Can to shít on him, I always liked him, it just goes to show with him out of favour and Coutinho already being pushed out of Barca that the grass isn't always greener.

    Don't think people are being over critical of Can. You're disappointed when a decent player leaves and will always wryly smile when things don't turn out better. Can's problem imo was always his consistency, he could be great but he good be poor too.

    I think we're all united by the fact he had great hair and scored a great goal against Watford, which maybe says something too about his contribution while at the club
