out played, out fought, no Spark, no leaders, a very worrying performance.
I can't see were a goal is coming from.

Sorry didn’t you spend £90 million on Lukaku for that?

short and to the point red 1067 -and spot on with your opinion.

Miki is woeful, Herrera has regressed, no attacking full backs, lukaku going through a lean spell -

We look like a top 6 team, no more, no less. A good run will get us a top 4 spot, a good run might get us a cup but we are no better than that.

I feel a little sorry for lukaku as without service what is he supposed to do, a lot of what he had to deal with were passes to his head that he could only flick on. We lack width because our fullbacks are square pegs in round holes. Now your probably going to say valencia has done well in the position and he has to an extent but he's shocking offensively same for young. Mkhitarian for me is not good enough in this league and believe it or not i'd like him to do well. So no sevice from the flanks no intricate passing. Without pogba we are bang average.

Get proper defenders on both flanks and that helps for a start. Always build from the back. That allows the midfielders a platform to be attacking and creative. Pogba is a big miss but we also need someone who has that extra bit of magic and charisma to lift the team. We need a Messi esque player or a Cantona if you will. Ibra fulfilled that role last year to a large extent but it is unfair and unrealistic to ask him to do it again this year. Mikki is a top top player who is short on confidence. He relies on quick passing and players with vision like him to work with. In midfield we have Herrera who is playing too deep and Fellaini who just isn't that sort of player. Pogba is out and Lingard is not quite good enough. Mata is a a lovely guy and good player but he can get in the way of Mikki and frankly lacks a yard of pace and that's being kind. The 1999 team had two midfielders/ wingers in Beckham and Giggs playing with Keane and Scholes that's the blue print we should be looking at. They all complemented each other bit also were very very good individually. That's what City have now and are why they are doing so well. I would pay Arsenal 50million to get Sanchez. His work ethic is great and he would make more space for others sand definitely it Ely impact on games. In the meantime I can't wait to see Pogba back he will make a huge difference. All that being said we just have to face facts that right now City are a huge leap ahead of us and will win the league this year unless they implode which I cannot see happening.
