We definitely need a striker. I was watching the Villa game last week and thought if only we had Watkins. 
 

It’s no good having a Watkins if the rest of the team is all sitting in its own half, standing off the opposition and not winning the ball back high and not playing attacking football…..

I’d love to have someone like Watkins. I was at the City and Liverpool games and can’t believe the sitters Antonio missed - he’s got 2 left feet and he’s right footed.

Jmho, but Moyes would destroy a player like Watkins head ! ……he’d be a shadow of the player you are seeing at the moment.

In two to three seasons time , we will be talking about Bellingham in the same way we do about Ronaldo and messi. If we win a trophy in the next two tournaments , he will be rated as being the best English player ever. 
 

there is no end to the levels in that boys game

Couple of things…..

That boy is 20 !……let that sink in !

Secondly, you can tell that going to Dortmund was a fantastic career choice…..they have just lost Bellingham and in most teams that would crush you but Dortmund are unbelievable!……that’s the environment that produces players as we are seeing now with Bellingham !

I remember Ajax were similar just producing top class young players Bellingham certainly made the right move as you say going Madrid seems a grounded young lad as well but there's no doubting his talent and what a start to Madrid he's had

I’m probably biased but I thought it was a penalty, but then again, I’m watching the rugby and I definitely thought that wasn’t a red card… so what do I know ?

Cheers.

It looked to me very soft and wang stopped himself from following through but like you charts it's just  are opinions and that changes nothing

Amazing !

I see Bellingham produced again yesterday  this time in his first elclasico another 2 goals to his name amazing stats already in his first season watched utd city I know utd were playing city but there world's apart and utd players look like they don't know a game plan they have been lucky theses last few weeks but today against city all there flaws were exposed constantly I agree with Keane Bruno is a dirty whingeing player who shouldn't be captain I didn't see the West ham game but saw the result I will mention what a impact Madison has had at spurs playing such a important part in there rebuild and every game he's been impressive  so far

Keepers are supposed to be sweepers now? Naive defending whatever you call it.

Kane has been and is a first rate striker. Strange that Spurs haven't missed him.

Lovely warm reception we had in Athens last week 

And just out of interest for the "attacking football " stats bods we had 60% possession against Olympiacos and lost....today we had 65% possession against Everton and lost.

Stayed on till Saturday Athens was as footie mad as ever the Olympiacos - Panathinaikos rivalry is still one of the tastiest ive seen you can just feel it around the City....they've drawn each other in the cup in December we've been invited over for it,cant wait !
