Game over

Congrats to City on another title. Only a Green New Deal or a Kyle Walker super spreader can stop them.

United are shit. There is no true challenger this year.

The more I watch Thiago the less I am impressed. I think he actually slows the team down. I’m undecided still but trending down at the moment. Hope I am wrong here.

You are. This narrative is total nonsense. Don’t buy in.

Eh I mean I have watched every minute of him on the team in games. I’m not just reading this and regurgitating.

He’s playing in a piecemeal midfield because of injuries that I doubt any club could possibly absorb. Put Henderson and Fabinho with him and see what happens.

They’re burned out and have lost too many key players. Hope they finish 4th and call it a season. Get everyone back fit and make a run next year.

Causal, no confidence, no urgency.

Just awful. They’ve got a full blown crisis.

I can’t finish a post without them fucking up again.

Just incredible how fast and hard this club fell off.

They were going to get embarrassed today. It was inevitable.

Top 4 is a reach people. 68 in a row at home to three losses straight and no goals?

You better hope top half at this point. They’re done.

5 titles in 9 years and no Saudi takeover of Newcastle. All that’s left is Europe for City, and they’ll get it this year.

Foden is a decent haircut away from being sensational.

United and Chelsea’s last title defenses look like Liverpool this year. I don’t think they get top 4. This form is horrendous.

They'll never get Europe. Pep is trash in Europe.

This match will most likely be remembered as the Allision game, because of what he did in the second half....but Phil Fu*cking Foden is incredible.

He has a great opportunity to be City's Gerrard,Lampard,Terry, Kane. Young local English talent that will be one of the best players in the world for the next decade.

I cannot wait to continue to watch his career develop. All the money City have spent over the last decade, and their best player for the next decade may well be a local lad from Stockport... what a story that would be.

Liverpool is an incredible team (even though they have been struggling as of late), to win 4-1 at a ground like Anfield is an incredible achievement.

Disclaimer* The streak will not be over until we beat Liverpool with a full stadium at Anfield, but damn today felt pretty good regardless.

This is the year. Covid is the wild card. Empty stadiums, power clubs having down years. This is it. They’re in form and relatively fit by Covid standards.

Domestically it’s a done deal as long as he’s there. Liverpool had to go unbeaten for a year and a half to knock them off. Think about that.

They'll find a way to screw it up. Pep will have some goofy tactics that blows up in his face per usual. Its in his DNA.

Quite a reckoning for Barcelona yesterday. I have to assume that come August Messi is either with Inter Milan or City. I don't know if he's quite ready for MLS or if they can afford him. He probably wants another go around for a title and Champions League. City and Inter can give him those.

On the other hand, Mbappe is 22 and really becoming a sensational player. Again, with Barca and Real's money issues, Citah is the only team that can really afford what PSG is asking. As long as this pandemic is a reality, I think we'd better get used to hearing that only City and PSG will be able to afford certain players. Barca and Real's financial issues are going to hurt not only them but the selling clubs.

Mbappe is wasting away in Ligue 1. If he goes to England his brand would be exponently better as well as his development.

If your club has American owners, good luck in the next few years. Sucks paying for 4 or 5 yachts.

Nice showing from Pool. Kabak looked much more comfortable. He was my MoTM

Kabak is good, he's just young and has been playing with a shit Schalke side for too long. I think he will perform well and they will have to choose to buy him or not. Klopp has been an admirer of his for some time now. A fit Virgil and Kabak? Yes, please.

Curtis Jones is sensational. He just turned 20 a few weeks ago. Kid is the absolute mustard. In 944 Premier League minutes the team has scored 20 and conceded 10 with Cujo on the pitch. In the 1338 he has not been on the pitch they have scored 25 and conceded 20. There needs to be a place for him out there so long as Hendo and or Fabinho are still forced to play center half. He was brilliant yesterday. He's also playing himself onto the England National Team soon enough. Has a confident arrogance. Smooth and calm on the ball.

It was good to get the win and clean sheet, and sadly they had to go all the way to Budapest to play a team from Germany to have a match where the officating wasn't complete shit, but I was still concerned that despite the performance they didn't create too much for themselves. That's going to continue to be a problem going forward.

That said, they pounced on a couple of mistakes and turned them to goals. Had a few breaks finally fall their way and to my knowledge no one was injured. I hope they piss pound Everton on Saturday for fucking up Virgil.

I enjoy seeing Everton get run.

Won't enjoy Mbappe and Messi playing with this Citah group next year. Sheesh.
