Man city have a 50 mill buy back

Looked a joke till now

I’d still be happy if they bought him back for that much

Very true and we still handed them their heaviest defeat of the season

Heaviest in 20 years

From memory it was only for two years anyway

I know these are crap but I think there is such balance in the system we played today, especially given we are without Barnes. Youri drops deeper. Castagne can bomb on with protection. Ricardo can play a little bit deeper and still drive forwards, especially through the middle where there's a bit more space. Perez is better narrow and can take the ball on the turn and drag us up the pitch. Kelechi is far better in a strike pair, and Vardy gets the support too. And you have two very quick CBs either side of the man controlling it all in Evans.

Any news on if Ricardo sub was due to injury?  Agreed Marc was great, just wondering.

There will be no buy back unless he bags another hatrick in the next game against Manchester City :-)

Over the moon with that. Don't care how turd Sheff United were, nice to see us be ruthless for a change.

Thought it lasted his contract from signing

Maybe I've got my wires crossed somewhere but I thought I read on here a while back that the buyback clause had an expiry date which came at the end of one of the previous windows...

Probably as close to perfect as you're ever going to get. Brilliant from all of them today. 

[NaijaFox]

Could have played an outfield player (maybe Tavares) at GK today.

Don't believe Kasper handled the ball once, and only used his hands when applauding our goals! 

[HighPeakFox]

I realise the counter to this argument is 'yeah but Sheffield United', however, the formation worked much better, and was enjoyable to watch. Having Perez there and being much better/stronger doesn't half make a difference.

Does kasper even need a shower?

 

I gave him 7/10 in the ratings thread, mostly for his shouting and coaching.

What happened to Ricardo...just precaution?

Apart from Kasper. Lad did fuch all.

Sheffield United haven't been ripped apart that much for a team with so many defeats. Conceded 4 once, lost 3-0 twice. Man City only beat them 1-0 on both occasions. They won at Old Trafford.

Honesty watching that felt at times like playing FIFA on professional difficulty. The way they gave the ball away was quite poor especially the one that led directly to a goal. The lads did great though and lovely to see a Nacho hattrick. Loved Vardy's little celebration after setting up Nacho's second too. Great game for wilf as well.

[Hammo]

What a lovely result to sit on for the next three weeks before our next Premier League game...

 

Now let’s enjoy another week on the training ground and go and knock a travel-weary Manchester United out of  the FA Cup.

Was Nacho moved to tears when he scored his third?

Excellent all round performance from him, not just the goals but his contribution.

delighted for him. He’s had to wait a long time at Leicester for some glory. Deserves all the praise he gets.

Perez fantastic

 

Nacho obviously fantastic

 

I hate to bring up anything negative after that - but I struggle to see how/why Vardy wasn't taken off at 4-0 at least.  He was hobbling most of the 2nd half after slipping on his chance right in front.  I just don't get what the point is...

....get what you mean and sometimes it beggars belief what some people are thinking!!!

Either they wanted him to get his goal before taking him off or the problems he was experiencing were not as bad as we thought. Great to see Nacho get a hat trick but I would give Vardy MOTM today, back to his old self when he first came here. If we had Vardy supplying to Vardy in the box we would be unreal.

 Great result, happy days.

[Gamble92]

Blimey there's usually 20 odd pages for the post match thread by now.  Almost as if we won, and the 2 foxestalk scapegoats smashed it 👀

[Hollyfox]

Great result for us, taking advantage of others slipping up. 

 

Jamie's saving himself for next week, giving Harry the run around, isn't he? 

 

😄😉

He made a couple of passes. He actually passed it to a blue shirt and not for a throw in too. So that was sensational in itself

They are not ever going to buy him back

Didn't he lose his Mum a few years ago Mother's day today . So pleased for him today though his Mum would be so  proud.

I don’t get all this about his distribution. He’s better than my postman I can tell you. That cvnt is either dyslexic or royaly trolling the whole village.
