Premier League 2020/21 Thread

Hopefully that puts that to bed (this game). 9 points clear of Everton with a much better GD.

 

The fact Man City are doing this without a world class striker btw, is absolutely unreal.

Great build up but that should never get past the keeper ....

Yeah meant the build up, although sigurdsson doesn't cover himself in glory looking at the replay

Decent team them Manchester City....

[David Hankey]

Mahrez still knocking 'em in.

[EastAnglianFox]

This is a brilliant result for us. 

 

Anybody who thinks otherwise are either on a different planet or 12 years old

I know they're absolutely blessed with talent, but they were languishing and running out of ideas at one point last season and into the start of this one.

 

Peps tactical switch to this crazy flexible back 3 with the left back/right back drifting into centre mid has transformed them this season.

 

Shades of what he did at Bayern with Lahm in the way Cancelo executes that role. When they're in possession it frees the rest of the midfield up to power forward.

If Southgate ever picks pickford again he should be sacked on the spot at the press conference.

Likewise, if he picks Chilwell, Stones and Maguire in defence

I know he spends a bloody fortune, but my word he's a brilliant manager.

Stones is arguably the best centreback in the league this season

No. We have the best CB in the league.

The problem is we will pick Stones, and then remember he's playing alongside Maguire and not Dias. Both of them need someone like Dias alongside them. 

[HighPeakFox]

I see Man City are still 'in transition and decline' at the same time, as someone who shall remain nameless claimed earlier in the season.

[Sunbury Fox]

It's kind of depressing for the competitiveness of the league that a solid top half team is brushed aside so easily on their home ground like this by Man City.

Bit harsh on John Stones - he’s probably the most in form English centre back at the moment.

Everton have recently been brushed aside at home by Newcastle and Fulham.

It was much, much worse when the top team in the country came to the second best team in the country and beat them 4-0, when it could have been 8. And 0 flattered us.

No don’t pick Pickford

Lets hope he picks Pope 

Otherwise he’s a dope
