Raumdeuter please can you help me respond to the bolded?

On your CFC thread, I gave my opinion; I expect City to win the league, CFC to finish 2nd and United 3rd. I said so even when City had just drawn with Everton (if not before) and I am yet to see anything that will change that opinion.

I know United fans are excited about Lukaku and his goals, but he is only replacing Zlatan's goals thus far. I need to see another source of 15+ goals from say Rashford or Martial to be sure they would punch 20-24points higher than their last showing.

So show me that "Plan B" season in the EPL. You can even bring out any of Mou's title winning campaigns in Portugal, Spain and Italy. I am waiting.

Mourinho added, of using a more defensive approach to earn all three points: “What pleased me was the pragmatism, at half-time we talked and we wanted to kill the game, and we had chances to kill the game.
“We wanted to be in control but sometimes you can’t, sometimes we are not able, sometimes we have to give credit to the opponent. It was not our decision, it was the way the game went.
“And then there was a moment we feel that we are in difficulties, so it’s better to make it solid. In a league that is becoming so defensive, so defensive, it was the first time that we played 20 minutes with a more defensive approach. Without this period we take a point not three.”

You have every right to your opinion as I have also picked manU to win the league. The reason why I highlighted a part of your post while asking Raumdeuter to come respond to it is because dayo is of the opinion that this city team is not settled yet, and manU stand a better chance of winning the league.

I know his position as I know yours. You are entitled to it and him his. I disagree with both of you.

Yes, which is why I know they would do better than last season. How much better is where I differ from many here.

MoR2:

He should learn from Mbappe and Jesus

In defence of Rashford, he plays farther from the post than any of those two players. Most times I see him having to carry the ball from deep. He needs to adjust and improve that aspect of his game

Victornezzar:

Trash......Dis is just d beginning of d season nd ur here saying city are strong contenders......Is like u really don't know what Fatigue is.....wait till January......Or is it d injury prone aguero dah will guide city 2 d title

Dumb hypotheticals.

I can as well say if Lukaku gets injured your season is over or De Gea or Pogba. Who makes projections based on injuries yet to happen?

City were stronger contenders than you last season and they are better than they were this season yet you want to dismiss them sentimentally?

The fatigue you are talking about will not affect your own team?

Take several seats and be humble.

Eruditor:


You did not have a better season than City. You had a salvageable season for yourselves compared to what you had endured post Fergie.

This myth that 6th place United did better than 3rd place City needs to end. The only advantage Europa brought to your team, City got it by finishing 3 places higher than you in the league.

At the end of the day, no one remember who finished 2,3,4,5 or 6. It's the first position that count. In the league last season, both Mou and Pep failed since neither of them won the league but Mou salvaged his season by winning the Uefa Cup and EFL (beating PEP city along the way).

In the history books right now, both coaches were employed to the 2 Manchester teams last season:

Mou: 2 trophies
Pep: none.

Argue with facts only.

Thank you for making my argument for me WRT the emboldened. The rest of your post is conjecture. I can go pedantic on you and say Mou beat City's reserves in Old Trafford but it is to what end? Carling Cup is a cosmetic way of saying I won a trophy.

As per Europa, well, City or Pep cannot lose something he never played in. The discourse was pertaining to the league and the only facts are; one was 6th and the other 3rd. C'est fini.

Eruditor:

City had 79pts last season compared to United's 66. Both of them shelved their weaknesses and consolidated on their strengths

is this really what I think it is?

I agree with you 100% that Pep has a better squad than Mou and they are strong contenders but I just have this feeling that they will not win the league.

I am not even saying United's team is way behind. I predicted if the league winner has 87points, 2nd might have 86 and 3rd, 85. It will be close. I just feel City will edge it.

ChristineC:
is this really what I think it is?

Which is?

Paulo Dybala or Antoine Griezmann should be the targets to replace Juan Mata.

what do you mean by shelved their weakness?

who do you prefer between the two and why?!

Route one, park the bus, all the usual Peg tactics. Suck the life out of the game, time-waste, feign injury, etc. And this after all the money they've spent. They're nothing more than an expensively assembled, 21st century Wimbledon. their three points yesterday papered over the cracks, and it's still only September.y

Will you like him at Chelsea?! Between him and Fabregas, who would you pick?!

Ozil, He makes things easy by releasing the pass quick. He might also bring out the best in martial and Lukaku.

Funny how none of Man United player will even see Shirt for City......Nonsense.
