I was about to rant in here about Man City have failed to live up to my 3 - 0 win expectations but I saw this in the pool
https://i.imgur.com/ObgHo3z.jpg, so I can't even complain, lol. Man City are playing well, but the goals have really reduced drastically this season, Man City have only scored more goals(a goal) than just one team from the top 10 teams in the league.
Silly me for thinking Brighton could snatch this. I ought to stop throwing away money on these games, seems like City aren't as brittle at the back anymore but their goal problems up front are same as Liverpool and others -- just tiredness.
As I'm writing this, Sterling penalty oops haha. This was worse than de Bruyne's miss against Liverpool heh.
Anyway, Pep apparently said he's found the secret to success with his team, telling them not to run but walk (with the ball) haha. In direct contradiction to Liverpool's high-press blitzkrieg from the front, defend from attack, although Klopp definitely slowed his team down from last season...
With all the hype and the high expectations, I think these two clubs could negate each other and end up in a scoreless draw. And it’s also very possible that VAR could ruin this game for either club.
Boo, I woulda thought that pre-Bruno Fernandes but surely they'll want to have some fun;) 4-0 Liverpool, because secret weapons abound;)
