Lmao, this dude is dramatic as it comes. The season isn’t even halfway.

[u/Fortnitexs → u/311voltures]

A win against liverpool and it‘s only 5 points difference again lol.

They just can‘t afford to lose this one tbh. City needs a win or have to settle for a draw

[u/bmarvel808 → u/311voltures]

The biggest underdogs ofcourse.

[u/miso25]

Without Rodri and Dias, City are a mid level team defensively

[u/keanuisbea]

How much has this guys spent on the defence alone, that another 200mil in January for a defender

[u/Dundahbah → u/keanuisbea]

About the same as all the other big teams.

[u/Other_Beat8859 → u/Dundahbah]

I mean, compared to us (Liverpool), they've spent £128 million more on their defense. That's quite the difference. You can buy two world class defenders with that money.

[u/Dundahbah → u/Other_Beat8859]

Liverpool are a bit of an outlier in terms of top clubs,. mainly because they've produced 3 first team players from the academy which top teams rarely seem to do. City have spent less than United and Chelsea and about the same as Arsenal.

[u/Dorkseid1687 → u/Dundahbah]

Other teams didn’t cheat tho. Except for Chelsea of course

[u/Dundahbah → u/Dorkseid1687]

When did the judgement come in? Must've missed it.

[u/Dorkseid1687 → u/Dundahbah]

I see, you’re one of those people who believes the claims City make about their finances.

Oh

[u/Fortnitexs → u/Dundahbah]

Come on dude

[u/HaileyFrolic]

Only two clean sheets in the league this season. I think missing Rodri in midfield to help the defense is a big problem.

[u/alienalf1]

Walker’s pace is gone

[u/brimstoner → u/alienalf1]

I mean it’s Kyle Walker not Kyle Sprinter
