City miss out on the quadruple.
Spurs more games to upset their top 4battle but don't win it.
Barce beat pool but ajax win it.
City make extra sure they win the league
We sneak 4th

I can see clearly now
:lol: We’ve salvaged seasons like that before to be fair.

Made one addition. This would be the best we can hope for this season.
 
This game just reminds me how you need technically sufficient players in your team if you want to compete at the highest level. Not just your "ball playing defenders" or playmakers but all 11 -including your keeper and fullbacks- should be at a certain level in terms of how they do under pressure, how comfortable they are on the ball, how good can they protect the ball, how can they pick the right pass and at which speed etc.

Football is a positional game now and it's all about technical qualities. Even your physical DM should be comfortable on the ball like Fernandinho for instance. Most of our players have been the ones who shit the bed under pressure for a long long time. This has been an issue for us since a long time ago. We even had this issue under Fergie imo. That's also why you can't carry players like Fellaini, Lukaku etc. in your team if you want to be a tactically dominant team.
Yes. Watching Barcelona players they kept the ball very tight to their bodies making it much easier to turn with the ball and look for passes, and their players always moving to create passing lanes. Big big difference in how many of the United players keep the ball. We need less Mourinho giants and more technically gifted players.
 
man on this forum be acting like Eriksen is better than Pogba. madness
 
I hope spurs wins, so city would look for revenge in the league match, which would help us for the top 4 hunt and hopefully Liverpool would be focused on the champions league and not win the league or the champions league :lol:
