Early or not, that foul on Sterling the cunt should be a yellow.

Gotcha.
First time I'm seeing City's uniforms. The white collar and white sleeve trim looks great.

Worlds slowest deflection.

Lol what an unlucky deflection for WBA but deserved goal for City. WBA are getting swarmed.

12m for Rondon, nice.
Puts them in a good situation even if Saido leaves and if he doesn't... wow nice combo.

He wouldn't be playing in England.
where would he play?
If his finishing was top notch he would be playing for your team, PSG or Bayern.

I didn't know Fox Sports got the Bundesliga rights in the U.S. Nice.
Football fans are a special type of crazy.
Yeah it's cool. Who should I support bundes-gaf?

The country is a closet Liverpool fan
Really its because he seems to be the kind of guy to let things like that get under his skin
He's gonna get booed everywhere he goes I think.
I remember the Australian neutrals booing him when City played Madrid not long ago.
From the interviews and the behind the scenes of his first day, he actually seems like a pretty low-key guy. A shame how the whole thing played out and how he's been painted with a certain brush. Think you're right though, I can definitely imagine it bothering him a bit. He seems to compartmentalize things well, but since he is so soft spoken, you get the feeling it would get to him.

you're crazy bro
NBC retains Premier League rights through 2022. Good news, I personally enjoy their coverage.
Coutinho goal also may have been the cause of a stoke fans heartattack. Glad to hear that the guy seems to be doing alright.

Am I?
If Sterling's finishing was clinical we would be talking about a player who could score 20+ goals a season. Those types of young players do not go unnoticed. The reality is that he is below average in front of goal. City overpaid for potential.

Sterling has plenty of time and coaches to improve his finishing
Don't think it'll ever be great, but he just needs it to be decent to be a 15-a-season player
His pace, timing of runs and instinctive positioning in and around the box is already good enough that he is constantly getting good opportunities for goals.
First obvious improvement he can make is sacrificing some accuracy for power. He doesn't have the sheer power to reliably smash it past the keeper from 10+ yards, but it's no use aiming precisely for the bottom corner if it gives the keeper so long to react, as you've sacrificed so much power.
He literally tries passing it into the net too often, and his productivity will skyrocket I expect when he just gets over that hurdle

Probably because he looks like he's got spaghetti poorly wrapped up on his head.
All that money, get a haircut ffs.
Bask in it.

The papers seem to think we will sign Biglia and Pedro this week I think it will just be one of them.
It's been 1 weekend of EPL football...
The need for hyperbolic statements in today's online football climate is getting unreal.

It's not hyperbolic considering the top 3 in Spain have been having their way with the PL's top 4 in the CL the last couple of seasons. Hell 2 of the top 3 teams in France shamed 2 of the top 3 PL teams last season.
Really the only hyperbole in his post is that Liverpool could win the league.

We're winning the league. Accept it now, it'll be easier when its confirmed in March.
You could say No 3 and 4 from Spain wouldn't make it in England too. It's a bit of a nebulous statement.
I don't see Athletico or Sevilla giving continuous ass whoopings to every team in England.
But yeah if only for the CL, British teams have been getting creamed.
Although my Arsenal team have gotten awful draws recently barring Monaco 
Hitch pls.

Stoichov is hardly LVG's biggest fan judging from his recent comments regarding Pedro.
There is only one answer to that question and you already know it.
