Yeah….that doesn’t happen.

Absolutely expecting to be shot down for this but I’m not sure Whittaker’s season stacks up particularly well statistically. He outperformed his xG by miles (suggesting his ‘goals scored’ could be a statistical anomaly) and the rest of his game seems to be middling-to-poor. Don’t get me wrong...

He’s been doing that for quite a while.

And you think that’s as a result of benefits?

Can’t be true. Far too good.

Don’t think De Bruyne has looked as good as he was since returning from injury in the games I’ve seen him play.

Never said that, and it seems they’re now trying to work the ball to him a hell of a lot quicker. More like the start of the season.

Christ keeper.

Space is the big factor. Spent half the game in an area of the pitch where there were about 10 players. City made it rather easy for Utd with the lack of genuine width.

Say what you like about Pep, but he’s managed to suck the joy out of both Grealish and Doku’s 1v1 play in the last couple of years.

City need to get Doku on. Need someone with a bit of directness.

Behave, he was streets onside.

@Brighton Sky Blue did you enjoy the #AAATB just now?

Exactly this. It wasn’t particularly a Day 1 upgrade but the opportunity that he could get better over 3-4 years that appealed, and on a free. Ah well, if it’s not happening it ain’t the end of the world.

May be of interest to some.

Hold on, didn’t he play for…. Barnsley?

Why were Brazil in the Euros?

Not that it affects me, but that’s what I picked out. You’d still be expecting ST holders to fork out up to £21 for a match ticket for a game they effectively already have a ticket to.

Like bits, dislike bits. Tries to force the play a lot, has to do a bastard step over every time he gets the ball, doesn’t track back. But he does press when the ball is in front of him and can pick a good pass at times. It’s a shame, but for me the negatives outweigh the positives. We do want...

Some great pressing from Atalanta but that creates space up the pitch for Leverkusen which they seem incapable of using. The commentary is right in a sense; they need a striker on. But they also need to get the defenders moving across rather than hitting it straight towards them.
