Pizy

If we had the Leipzig, in form Werner and Pulisic in top form I think we’d rip this Madrid team apart with those two fullbacks they have starting. And if Kova was fit we could probably really trouble Modric and Kroos who are quite slow.

Suspected there was a reason he tried Azpi out there at the weekend. Not pleased with that tbh, but Azpi has come through in so many big games. TT probably wanted his experience and leadership out there. But damn, this exact XI just a couple of days ago looked shattered and completely exhausted. And now they all start against Real Madrid? Hmmm…

This meme doesn’t even make sense. Real Madrid we’re the biggest proponents of the Super League and we’re the most desperate to form it due to their colossal debt. If anything, the world should be cheering for us to win, not RM.

I actually think TT has quite the selection dilemma in defense. All of our CB’s have been playing so well it all comes down to his tactical game plan. Does he think we’ll have the lions share of possession? Then AC may make sense with Azpi as a wing back like he was against WH. Could be why he trailed that system. Does he think we’ll be under siege and need an aerial threat on set pieces to try to pinch an away goal? Then Zouma may start. Will be very interesting which way he goes. Likewise whether we go false 9 with Havertz, Werner up top, or he surprises everyone and starts Oli to catch them off guard.

Bums like Ieanacho scoring for fun and Werner is out here missing sitters nearly every game. 😑😑😑 This dude looked like Bambi on ice since he left City. A total bust. And now, just like Lingard since joining West Ham, the guy has been a match winner over and over seemingly. Whatever. I stopped caring too much about Leicester for a couple of match weeks now. All about holding off WH, Liverpool, and Spuds for us now.

Possession is nothing if we can’t connect the midfield and attack. Look at recent matches without Kova for proof. Neither of J5 or Kante are going to play passes through the lines. And moving Mount back into a 3 weakens our press.

I trust the likes of Thiago Silva, Azpi, and our defense as a whole tomorrow but just fail to see how we’re going to get a real foothold in midfield without Kova in there. He’s the most important of our CM’s. Without him there Modric, Casemiro and Kroos might be able to just completely lock us down and dominate the ball. What those 3 struggle against is legs and driving runs which Kova specializes in. We could potentially move Mason further back but then our attack suffers. As individuals, Benzema and Vinicius are very good but they don’t terrify you like say Mbappe & Neymar. I think our defense can deal with them. If we were totally injury free and fresh I’d seriously fancy us.

Well hopefully we can finish in the CL places so we can be in play for all these strikers. Haaland probably won’t look our way if we’re bidding giant other big clubs who can offer CL footy.

I think if Mbappe ever moves it’ll only be to Real Madrid and he’d probably cost much more than Kane. For most clubs Haaland would make much more long term sense due to his age, but the combo of Kane being English, being totally settled and dominant in the PL already, and the fact that there likely won’t be a bidding war for him (unlike Haaland) means he’d probably be United’s preference.

Kane is the most famous English player and is probably desperate to break lots of English records. Can’t see him leaving the PL for those reasons. A club like United who are obsessed with commercial appeal and shirt sales and having English players mean he’d be their ideal player. Most famous English player at most famous English club” and all that bullshit. Of course ourselves would be the best fit for him since we have every other piece except for a talismanic #9. But Levy would never do it even if we offered £20m more than anyone else. And I can’t stand the fucking sight of Kane and his awful haircut so I’m fine with that. 😂

Can certainly see Kane having enough good will built up with Spuds that they’d grant him a move if he really pushed. If one of the Manchester clubs offer over £100m I think he goes. If that happens I can’t see them selling Son as well. Because with Kane gone they’re instantly a midtable side. With both gone they’re even worse. And they can’t attract players near that quality to replace them. I would hate more than anything to see the most talked about, most hyped up, most “adored” England player Kane playing for Man United. The media coverage would be insufferable. Never mind the fact that he’d instantly make them one of the favorites for the league and CL. If he goes to City I don’t really care. They’re already unreal so he doesn’t really change much.

Doubt the players (some of which are older than he is) even pay him much attention. Can’t have a clue what he’s doing in such a job in these circumstances. Probably just outs out a basic framework and the players kind of just run around.

City have been fantastic and should have a few goals here. Spuds have been pathetic and barely had a touch. Also pathetic is Martin Tyler’s obsession with Phil Foden. Talking about him as if he’s prime Messi.

Mason was the only player outside of our defense that performed well, really. Just sort of limping along at the moment but 3 points are all that matters. Just have to hope we can score a key goal here and there the rest of the way and lean on our defense to carry us over the line.

Would be a very harsh red I think. Nowhere for his foot to go really.

We look totally shattered. The press and energy are nonexistent.

This is straight up embarrassing. They look like the big club and we can’t get the damn ball off them.

West fucking Ham passing rings around us and bossing possession...

I would bring Reese or CHO on for Azpi soon. That area was WH’s only real threat because Azpi gets burned for pace repeatedly. Corners/set pieces and attacking Azpi in space. Clearly their formula.

Without Kova’s energy, drive, and bursting through the lines our midfield is poverty. Offering absolutely nothing. We don’t have a hope against Real Madrid or with this crazy run in of fixtures if he isn’t back ASAP.

We have SO little creativity in this team. Who’s gonna break down or unlock the solid WH defense? Or are we just going to hope for counters through Pulisic or Werner? West Ham just really have to sit deep and let us pass it around slowly and we probably won’t be able to do much unless we are super clinical like against Palace.

Not a very confidence inspiring XI. Baffling why Azpi would play there instead of Reece.

We shouldn’t even be focusing on Leicester, tbh. We need to be more mindful of what’s just behind us.

Not watching but I see the mighty Barcelona, err, sorry, West Brom are getting smoked by Leicester after scoring 5 against us. 🙄

I fucking hate the European League and it would be an absolute chore to watch this team playing in that next season. I’d rather finish fucking 10th then have to play in the EL again.
