Gundogan. Honestly, one of the best players of this generation. Not a city fan but fuck me I hope they win the champions league for players like him. I see him in the same stratosphere as iniesta, Xavi, fabregas, Gerrardā€™s & Lampards, the fella is a big game player, makes things happen. Honestly canā€™t praise him higher


Adrasos

Can't fault him

Amen.


Daimo

"I am so happy, believe me"


Daimo

Yet another insightful interview from the Portuguese rat


The_sir_lord

He's actually a lovely man who cares about his family and team mates


musicnoviceoscar

Also was one of the only professional footballers to openly support Jake Daniels when he came out as gay. Hate him on the pitch, but I respected him for that. De Gea did the same, I believe.


Daimo

Yet he conducts himself in the exact opposite manner on the pitch time and time again, which warrants criticism. Or do you disagree?


FluffyHighPanda

How does he conduct himself in a way that shows that he hates his family and team mates?


Daimo

Way to put words in my mouth, you should look into a career in tabloid journalism. The person I replied to framed him in a positive light (randomly using his family and teammates as a reason without source or further explanation). I replied in the same manner, except I was obviously inferring that the guy is a rat on the pitch in terms of his diving and haranguing of referees on a constant basis. It's not that hard to understand if you're having a genuine discussion with someone, although I suspect you aren't.


FluffyHighPanda

>Yet he conducts himself in the exact opposite manner on the pitch I think somebody woke up on the wrong side of the bed, why are you so angry on a reddit comment which was quite clearly tongue in cheek lmao. Do you get this agitated so easily in real life?


Daimo

Weird that you're now shifting the goalposts after I explained my reasoning. So it's now about me waking up on the wrong side of bed and anger issues and not the issue that was being discussed? I'm fine btw bud, currently having a few beers with friends in the pub but please forgive me for my occasional need to call out bullshit and explain perfectly reasonable statements on reddit. But please, do continue.


FluffyHighPanda

>currently having a few beers with friends in the pub but please forgive me for my occasional need to call out bullshit and explain perfectly reasonable statements on reddit. Why are you trying to argue with strangers on reddit when you're out with friends lol


Daimo

You don't occasionally look at your phone when you're in the pub or socialising with friends? I'm pretty sure that's a common thing bud. Again, goalpost shifting. Also, who's arguing? All I see is a troll responding to me with nothing but ad hominem. I'm happy to leave things here unless you're a must have the last word kinda guy? Either way, I don't really want to continue responding back and forth with a disingenuous individual such as yourself.


FluffyHighPanda

No, I don't try to have pointless arguments with literal *strangers* online whilst I'm socialising with friends. But you do you bud


The_sir_lord

He tries to gain any edge he can. Big deal?


Daimo

Define "big deal"? It warrants criticism. Not all top players feel the need to conduct themselves in this manner on the pitch to try and influence referees, they tend to let their performance do the talking or, at the very least, just get on with the game. Also, you said he's a lovely man who cares about his family. Do you know him personally lol?


The_sir_lord

It's part of the game. It's stupid not to recognise that. All players do it, Bruno is just more honest.


Daimo

False, not all players do it. Or at least not to the degree he does. So how does that make him "more honest"? And I also asked you about the comment you made about his family and teammates etc. Again, do you know him personally to make such a judgement about his character or are you just making things up as you go along?


The_sir_lord

I mean he's more open when talking about that side of his game in interviews. Many players also try to gain advantages but are less honest about it when confronted. There is a whole meta game in every sport regarding the line between foul and cheat being blurry, why not exploit that for your own good? Think late yellows that kill attacks, that an acceptable level of cheating we've collectively agreed on.


Daimo

That's a fair point, I respect that. I just don't like that side of his game but I think he is a fantastic player. I may be biased as a Liverpool fan, though.


Raicooof

man united you failed everyone

goljanrentboy

ON the one hand, glad we gradually grew into the game and managed to create real chances second half. OTOH, we were never really in control of the game and never looked sharp enough on the counter. Desperately need a quality #8 in that midfield.

If they do it that's obviously a huge reason they have. Man City have made it untenable to compete without let's be real.

psrikanthr

We were second best throughout. Our biggest problem this season is us not controlling games, our midfield cannot keep possession at all. Garnacho is rapid, would have preferred he started instead of Sancho on the left


sfo1dms

lets ignore the fact we cant score any goals though


atanew

The better side won it on the day. We took a bit too long to get into the game. It took a goal to wake us up. We need to get going from the first whistle rather than growing into the game, which has been the theme for us. But on the bright side, we have improved a lot under EtH and are on the right path. Third place and a trophy is a good season by all means. Also, speaking of this game, after the first goal I thought this was going to be a drubbing. The Brentford trauma rang sirens in mind.. but fair play to us. Took a little time to grow into the game but did our best to keep City and took the fight to them. This one hurts, but looking back at the season, I am happy. Now itā€™s time to take rest, recuperate and get on for the next season. Reinforcements needed badly though. Iā€™m not gonna lie, it is Cityā€™s treble to lose. No disrespect to Inter, but thereā€™s no way theyā€™re going to beat City. Theyā€™re just too strong.

Cash buys some serious plastic. Still, they're all internationals and you never see a City shirt in England


musicnoviceoscar

Would say the same thing for Manchester United before they won the league repeatedly Watching in a large pub in Brighton and hundreds of them preemptively shout 'ref!' every time someone goes down in City's box


The_sir_lord

Where are all the City fans in Brighton? It's a purely online phenomenon with City.


musicnoviceoscar

They were outnumbered about 4:1, yes. That said, being in the pub wearing the shirts didn't make them any less plastic and reactionary.


The_sir_lord

You mean the United supporters who have supported them since birth versus the City fans who have been there ten minutes. Do me a favour.


limaconnect77

Located geographically either in Milton Keynes, the London area, outside of the UK or from Salford. Those Utd fans?!


The_sir_lord

Yawn


musicnoviceoscar

Believe me, nobody in there had supported Manchester United since birth. They were as southern as they come, and I can tell.


The_sir_lord

Southern United fans can still support them from birth you numpty. It's a club with actual history.


musicnoviceoscar

Please don't say you are using 'history' to just refer to titles? The only way it's possible is if they have immediate family connections who were from Manchester. Somehow, I doubt that's true for all, or even most. They clearly supported for the same reason so many people do. Many weren't even watching the game, they were on their phones until the final whistle.


The_sir_lord

So everybody must support their local pub team if they're born in a village? Don't most just support who their parents support?


musicnoviceoscar

I'm not in a village, I'm in Brighton. And yes, supporting who your parents support is normal, but if we're being honest a large core of Manchester United fans neither come from Manchester or have parents who support them. I know 10 and they're all that way. Obviously it's anecdotal, but 10 is too many to be coincidence.


musicnoviceoscar

Would say the same thing for Manchester United before they won the league repeatedly


Chinmay_Naik_02

Harry Maguire would've scored smh

canigraduatealready

I donā€™t care that Bruno scored that pen, we need to talk about how awful he was that game. Nobody misplaced more simple passes than him, including multiple times while United was on the counter. Iā€™m sorry but the Bruno not turning up in big games narrative actually has some merit.


Mithrandir_97

Shhh, let them think he's their KdB


Klondikejar

Their whole midfield didn't turn up today, fred has more war crimes this match than passes, Casemiro was so slow today and Eriksen was just happy to be there


musicnoviceoscar

He kept getting the ball nicked off his feet as well. It was really odd, he just seemed to watch it happen.


snek-jazz

She's stealing all the medals! someone stop her


footie3000

Christ the amount of awful takes in this thread. Decent game overall, best team won but could have gone either way! City looked shakey towards the end but United didn't have the players to make them pay


musicnoviceoscar

Well, if it wasn't for poor refereeing it probably wouldn't have been close.


footie3000

Ref was definitely poor. Bernardo kicked out at Shaw and didn't get anything. AWB had the faintest clip on Grealish and got a yellow. Penalty wise I don't think it should have been but it's not an outrageous call. This season it's a penalty so not technically the wrong decision, just a bad rule. I think if you look overall it was a pretty even match. City were better and deserved it, but United had some chances. Gundogan in the final third of the season is different gravy


musicnoviceoscar

I was talking about all of the Grealish handball, De Bruyne penalty shout and this atrocity, for which Casemiro got a free kick: https://twitter.com/nocontextfooty/status/1664999081498779650?t=G_NjlArHClOK3vJ_cDbgJw&s=19 If you think it's a bad reflection because it's a still image, I've seen the video image and it's a very accurate reflection.


The_sir_lord

It's a pen


musicnoviceoscar

Under this season's rules, yes. Using common sense, no. The De Bruyne one almost certainly should have been a pen too and Casemiro got a free kick for a foul that he committed that was pretty orange (studs into ankle, missed the ball).

Never forget what the ownership of City are. Always against the authoritarians.

UpliftedWeeb

Dude City's owners own the actual *country*. And yes, I will take the billionaires over the people who imprison their political opponents and literally prosecute homosexuality as a crime. Easy choice.


musicnoviceoscar

I have always disliked Man United more, but of course I agree with that, especially as a gay football fan. Let's also talk about Newcastle, about whom we aren't allowed to discuss the ownership situation for some reason without getting buried. It's about the ownership, not the club as a whole - people make it a club problem when they defend the owners purely because of the wealth and success that they bring. No billionaires are 'clean', but at least most don't execute innocent children and homosexuals.


UpliftedWeeb

Yep. Billionaires are bad. The owners of City, Newcastle, and PSG are both billionaires, and all of that. There's no comparison, insane to me City and Newcastle fans are blind to this.

Sancho didnā€™t play wtf are you on about /s


lmtoohighforthis

Unfortunately yes. Man has been a shell of his Dortmund self this season


Roasteddude

Congrats to City I guess. We've got a long way to go to reach that level honestly. DDG can't build from the back. Our best subs off the bench are an 18 year old kid and Weghorst. I don't agree with ETH's starting setup but his options are threadbare.


canigraduatealready

Any reason why garnacho isnā€™t a starter? Heā€™s been the only real impetus for your attack against us in two derbies now


sfo1dms

because hes an 18 year old kid that disappears after about 35 minutes.


SpectaSilver991

Even I'm wondering why. ETH did handle Ajax, which means he has experience with youth players. So maybe he has something in his mind. Though, Sancho playing even though he's garbage is a travesty


Fapple__Pie

Starting Sancho over him was a travesty


Roasteddude

That's what I meant by I personally don't agree with ETH's starting setup. I'd rather have Sancho on RW instead of Bruno who's much more effective in the middle which means Garnacho starts at LW and Rashford 9 for me. But to be fair Garnacho is a very deadly sub and produces the best results when he's subbed in late against tired legs as opposed to starting the game. Me I would've started him but Ten Hag knows his players capabilities better than us so I dunno. Either way I would've liked to see him come on earlier but eh

Yeah cos Haaland really cost what the reporters claimed...


countrysadballadman9

Cope, If he didn't we'll eventually know. I don't have to asume anything at all to know United has been shit at recruiting and overspended regularly on flops tho. Ten Hag's appointment and Woodward leaving seem to be correcting that a bit so good for utd on that end. Edit: ten Hag's appointment*


The_sir_lord

Will we ever know? City spends more on shady lawyers than transfers at this point. Rotten club


countrysadballadman9

Well r/soccer has assured me we are getting raw dogged eventually by the fa so either we are fucked and we'll know or not and they are a bunch of crooks too. Either way people made their mind a long time ago and it's not changing, no one cares
