That was the one out of the December defeats that was inexcusable.

West Ham (London Derby), Everton (pumped up under Ferguson) and Southampton (bang in form) can happen at the best of times let alone to a young team and manager but losing to that stagnant Bournemouth side was mind-blowing.

100% agree

[Special Juan 27,111]

Drinkwater with two assists for City

[Milan 17,835]

lol, just never come back

[Vesper 27,412]

both goals by Mahrez

using Drinkwater like a rag on both

[LAM09 6,569]

That's what they get. Drinkwater couldn't get a game at Burnley, but here he is starting against the champions.

Hilarious!

[Vesper 27,412]

and Villa desperately want Bats

and Marina is up to her old tricks

raised his price to a crazy £45m

'Chelsea ruined Drinkwater!' - Fans mock midfielder amid Aston Villa's horror show vs Man City

Chelsea midfielder Danny Drinkwater had a moment to forget on his return to action in the Premier League, having started for the first time during his loan spell for Aston Villa

When in form City are still the best side in the league. If they had a fully fit defense it would be much like last season with only a point or two separating the eventual champion from second place.

They're also much more pleasing to watch than Liverpool for me. Whereas Liverpool are a blunt object that blugeons everyone to death, City are like a surgical scalpel. I hope Frank is eventually able to have us be as clinical and ruthless.

And fuck me, I'm still jealous and angry every time I watch KDB. After Messi, I'd have him over any other player in the world.

nil 5

lololol

Morata - 70 million

Bakayoko - 45 million

Drinkwater - 40 million 

Zappacosta - 30 million 

 

That 2017 summer window has to be labeled as the worst piece of business in the Roman era. Set us back for seasons.

2017-18 windows were HORRID

£235m spent, almost all on SHIT

plus insane wasted salaries that even now make it crazy hard to sell some

Rudiger was the only good one

plus the disastrous non sale of Courtois

then came the even worse non sales in summer 2018 (Willian, Alonso, etc etc etc)
