The standard on show in the Man City v Real Madrid game is immense. City being the most proactive but look very vulnerable at the back. Madrid have a very clever game plan and I can see them scoring again before the night is out.

I read even Tarks said he annoys him in games :lol: :lol: I can believe it. He’s hyperactive and talks a lot, but I wouldn’t say he’s particularly dislikable - at least not to me. Seems to come across like a decent bloke. There are many players in the Premier League who I’d rather see get a slap.

Re: So do you drop Muric after two massive costly howlers?
I don't think I am. The quotes from both Mcguiness and Cathro both imply the use of studs as the first touch to give then a slight advantage in being able to play both ways.

All very despondent and rightly so but it could have been so different if we had just one player who could score goals.

We do of course long for Heaton and Pope again, but they were incapable of playing the way we play (and City etc play). The fast distribution, the high defence and sweeper keeper.
