Weird. The commentator on the US broadcast said that but it’s clearly wrong. Still, their attack is shite and their goal difference is underwater. 

About to say they scored 3 against Spurs or something and they're at the moment 5th..didnt do that from 7 goals

I never expected Pool to drop any points against Arsenal despite the latter's apparent good form. Truth is they had an easier run of games and they barely avoided losses against Palace and Brighton, most of their wins were 1-0s and I honestly didn't buy into their hype. Today they got a wake up call and looked like the same team who started the first three matches of the season with a 0-9 goal difference, again completely outplayed by the top clubs. Just as expected.

Whats so good about dodging his signing, we paid 100 millions for another one and we're stuck with him for years to come.

Refer to the part in bold

Apparently agüero has to end his career due to heart condition 

sad end. All time great striker for me

Good shout not to sign him this summer

Obviously I would have taken him over nando 100 times out of 100 back in 2011. I wanted us to sign agüeor back in 2009.

I'm pretty sure that was supposed to be a dig at Lukaku. The poster you quoted has already written him off apparently...

Stats wise, scoring in 7 games out of 12 is hardly a disaster as the commentators made out to be. 

they had, besides the 5 goalless games, FOUR others where they only scored one goal (Watford, Burnley, Norwich, and Chels, so 3 shit teams)

if they had failed to score in just one of those

they would be rolling at a 50% goalless games clip

compare that to truly great runs in leagues by top teams, where they go 25, 30, 40 league games or more without failing to score

 

all comps look at the number of games

Ah well my bad.

jury is still out on Lukaku but tbfh i was in favour of agüero over Lukaku in summer as well

still we would have been in an even worse position now had we done this. Losing a striker in November and then having to buy from a weak position in Jan would have been a disaster
