English Football 2016-2017: NOW WITH 100% LESS FANERIO - Page 1126 - Sporting Events and Fantasy Sports

Seems hard to accumulate that much distance by just strolling around the park

Anyway though, I wasn't trying to make a point on Özil or Sanchez. Rather saying that while distance covered, sprints, top speed etc. are interesting things to look at, running and sprinting more and faster doesn't seem to have any correlation to winning IIRC. So, pointless stats

No, I looked up the stats ages ago when we had the whole walking 10k in 90minutes discussion the last time.

City team next year revamped is gonna be really good. Imagine this is about 65% strength and this is nearly optimal lineup with players they currently have. Need Jesus up top an entire new back 4. Yaya out or gund back and another keeper

Just heard them saying on the radio that he has to play on the same side as the dugouts so that Karanka can give him instructions during the game.

If he swaps wings at half time that'll be why.

Tell that to John Cross at the Mirror. He's building a whole narrative around that graphic and that Sanchez is a work shy diva who should be let go.

OVer the course of the season I can't imagine a team has missed more easy to wide open chances than city

Considering they're 3rd right now and should be higher they don't need 6 changes but a few tweaks could do that. If all of those things did magically happen I think they're probably top 3 team itw

Not running great with injuries either

Didn't realize Guzan was going to mls after the season. That's unfortunate.

If City played Chelsea at a neutral venue with current squads/availability who would be favourites?

Chelsea would be id imagine. They should be but market loves city so I'm sure it'd be close.

City are abusing mbroughs back line but guzan is playing fairly well all things considered

City have tremdous talent and skill but the squad is badly out of balance. Buy Kante instead of Gündogan and imagine where they might be.

Edit: it's still not clear to me why a bidding war for Kante didn't develop last summer.
