    Will Bruno get a red card retrospectively

    1. The Philosopher
      • 6 Years
      1 hour, 26 mins ago

      Should get a black card invented just for him and get banned for 3 seasons.

        Wasn’t there meant to be a different card colour implemented that was like a timeout?

        What happened with that I wonder

        1. Three Pints of Schlager
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

          It was rebranded to " Hydration break".

    2. Ball Ake
      • 2 Years

      He should get kicked in the b0llocks retrospectively.

    If Bruno scores the winner there will be uproar

    1. TheBiffas
      • 5 Years

      Hate the guy but wouldn't be opposed to him scoring me a few points

  3. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

    Cherki fail

    1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
      • 9 Years
      1 hour, 25 mins ago

      Subbed

    2. PartyTime
      • 5 Years
      1 hour, 23 mins ago

      It lingers yet again

    3. Ball Ake
      • 2 Years
      1 hour, 23 mins ago

      Radio5 can't understand it as it's like for like. Come on, Ndiaye works waaay harder off the ball. Good sub.

    4. Wolfman180

      Kept him thinking he'd smash this fixture after everyone sold. Just confirmed to me hes a sell i think

      1. The Philosopher
        • 6 Years
        1 hour, 2 mins ago

        Gotta give him Sunderland at home. Certain to start now.

        1. Wolfman180
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          just now

          I dont think you can ever say its certain, and tbh im not so sure that Sunderland game is one to target. Look how much Arsenal struggled against them. Not saying theyre amazing but I dont think hes getting too much out the game even if he does play.

          I thinking moving to MGW might be the better option

  4. Scotty Dog

    92 points with Haaland & wissa remaining. Trip cap palmer ruined the dream.

  5. The Philosopher
    • 6 Years
    1 hour, 24 mins ago

    Cherki off.

    Macarena ain't it. Weird sub.

    1. TheBiffas
      • 5 Years
      1 hour, 7 mins ago

      Perfectly understandable sub tbh

      1. The Philosopher
        • 6 Years
        1 hour, 6 mins ago

        Nah, makes City really impotent now. Could've gone 351 and take off someone else.

        1. TheBiffas
          • 5 Years
          17 mins ago

          Cherki gives you nothing off the ball which isn't possible a man down

          1. Most #10s don’t.

            Fact is he took off his #10 and replaced him with a winger, so he’s switched things round for no need really.

      2. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
        • 9 Years
        1 hour, 2 mins ago

        No, Cherki is actually the perfect type of player to have when a man down.

        Say City sneak a goal, he’s then the perfect player to keep the ball and slow the game down.

        Maresca has 100% missed a trick there. Assuming he actually made the decision…

        1. TheBiffas
          • 5 Years
          1 min ago

          Ndiaye can do the same plus offers more defensive work off the ball

    2. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 16 Years
      1 hour, 7 mins ago

      He doesn’t trust him it seems and more so when they are down to 10 men. Need more off the ball work and he probably thinks Cherki doesn’t offer it

    3. Ball Ake
      • 2 Years

      Hey, Macarena.

  6. henrysquire
    • 8 Years
    1 hour, 23 mins ago

    Cherki hooked

  7. Count of Monte Hristo
    • 13 Years
    1 hour, 23 mins ago

    Schade or Tavernier?

    1. Scotty Dog
      • 7 Years
      1 hour, 4 mins ago

      Schads

  8. Supersonic_
    • 5 Years
    1 hour, 22 mins ago

    Cherki subbed is laughable

    1. PartyTime
      • 5 Years
      1 hour, 21 mins ago

      He probably asked Maresca for extra minutes at HT like in the Palace game. Poor lad!

    2. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
      • 9 Years
      1 hour, 20 mins ago

      Indeed it is, Semenyo and Haaland anynoynous first half, one of them should have been hooked instead defo

  9. Sailboats
    • 10 Years
    1 hour, 22 mins ago

    Cherki subbed lmfaooo @ owners

  10. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
    • 9 Years
    1 hour, 22 mins ago

    Must say I’m surprised Semenyo wasn’t hooked instead, also Ndiaye’s side

    1. The Philosopher
      • 6 Years
      1 hour, 3 mins ago

      Yeah. 351 with O'Reilly coming on for Semenyo was the play. Crazy sub indeed.

      1. The Philosopher
        • 6 Years
        1 hour ago

        O'Reilly on for Nunes could've been even better. Both options better than bringing on Ndiaye for Cherki.

      2. Good shout

  11. Totalfootball
    • 9 Years

    MGW or Rogers ?

  12. bialk
    • 16 Years
    1 hour, 19 mins ago

    Cherki was rival captain. Justice for my Foden red card.

    1. PartyTime
      • 5 Years
      1 hour, 19 mins ago

      Lol

  13. Supersonic_

    Oh go away Bruno

  15. Pariße
    • 11 Years
    1 hour, 17 mins ago

    United finding some rhythm. But they should bring Sesko on for hold-up play and inevitably start spamming crosses.

  16. F4L

    ending 0-0 isnt it

  17. Dacra

    This game has all the makings of a 0-0.....why did I bench Maguire and play Ballard

  19. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…

    Bruno on course to equal Palmer even without any returns......no way I am selling him

    1. Machine Gun Skelly
      1 hour, 5 mins ago

      Depends on your rank, people around 300k like me won't have captained him, so I guess kind of good for me
