United look completely unshackled post Amorim even if City’s defense is laughably terrible. 

If we don’t start getting back on track ASAP they’ll absolutely finish above us and take that final UCL place. Shocking that they’re already ahead of us as it is.

So much was made of their crisis and Liverpools it was silly. Both sit ahead of us by 4..although we can close the gap on Man U by winning. Still rubbish considering. 

2-0 game over

So finally after 20 years Arse are now all but guaranteed their first PL title since I was a freshman in high school.

City have completely collapsed due to their defensive injuries in recent weeks. Arse could legitimately win the league by 15 points at this rate.

Its not even that..its where they are in the Champions league thats worrying. Only side with 100% and 1 goal conceded 

Mean doesnt mean they'll win it but they look the strongest!

They’ve got to be heavy favorites for that too which as you say is worrying. Other than PSG getting red hot again I don’t see any other club causing them too much of a problem. 

They’ve set themselves up to be the dominant force for the foreseeable future since their core is all young and they’re now willing to spend huge to constantly add to it.

Helps having a long term manager who has been able to make the team how he wants to also. 

And although Arsenal lost the legs last year it was hardly a massive scoreline. 3-1 on agg...urghhh

no wonder they are going for Guehi:

3 major CBs (2 of them world class, and one who was WC) out injured

3 on loan (including a 30-something and 2 youths)

and 2 other youth CBs (total of 4 youth)

and of the lot, 3 are 30-somethings (Stones, Ake, Akanji), granted only 31, 30 and 30, so still SHOULD be in prime

Out on loan

also

they are all over the board at fullback (granted insanely expensive ones)

and do not forget Pep plays (or played)

Gvardiol, Ake, Akanji, and even Stones (granted Stones much more at MF if not at CB) at fullback as well

plus a HUGE problem 

Rodri looks a SHELL of the player (Ballon d'Or winner) he was pre-injury, which just rat-fucks them

they also never recovered from losing De Bruyne and prime İlkay Gündoğan, and, going further back, Riyad Mahrez, Leroy Sané, and (prime) Sterling at winger (and finally, even further back, at MF, David Silva as well)

Finally, Donnarumma is superb GKer (I only rate Cuntois higher atm), BUT he is never going to be Ederson (who is,TBH, lolol) in terms of ball distribution. Ederson was a freak of nature with the ball.
