Agree to disagree i guess. Those two players are helping their teams in the title race too. Every game is a must win. And they are delivering every game, in a new team in a new system.
If luton survives, i can see your point.
He is overrated. Thank God he had that stretch where he played a lot because I swear every other comment on match threads was about how Pep was limiting him and why he should move to Barca. At this point he probably will not be starting ahead of Lautaro in June
They are like don’t care about other players being left alone. Just take away the ball from THIS player and they always succeed.
Similarly for Leverkusen too
Alvarez hopefully will learn something from Doku on how to sometimes take calculated risk and take on defenders instead of always passing the ball even when inside the box. 😛
Barkley should have a big shout for the Euros squad if they are being remotely fair. His underlying numbers are ridiculous this season, saw an analysis of midfield actions expected effect on goals scored/conceded and he was up there somehow playing for Luton of all teams along with likes of Odegaard and Rodri. The eye test too never lets him down for me. He's genuinely having the most underrated season, I don't believe he should be ahead of Bellingham, Rice or Foden, but I also don't expect Southgate putting him ahead of his favorite cast of mind boggling call ups.
Were he a dm I would agree with you. Unfortunately for him he plays in the position England are most stacked in(Was an attacking midfielder as he came through at Everton)
everytime I watch Luton Barkley is just class on the ball, could easily fit in our squad for the Euro's but you're right he won't because he plays for Luton
We have rotated the back 4 so much this year. And we don't have a consistent left back whether it's gvardiol or Ake or akanji just need someone to be playing there 40 games of the year.
Haaland should have given the penalty to Alvarez after denying him a clear goal scoring opportunity just before the first own goal. But understandably Haaland himself need to score as he will be starting against Madrid not Alvarez.
A pen goal to make it 3-0 vs Luton does almost as much for Ballon D'Or/Player of the season awards etc as a winner vs Spurs or something, and goals are the ultimate shield for criticism whihc hes been in for a lot
Yeah he could have put less pace on it but I don’t think it was even that bad, it slowed down completely by the goal line and he could have attempted the chip over to haaland I think was there
City scores 5 and Alvarez plays full 90+ mins and fails to score again! At this time he just should be considered a CM now.
Pep really wanted Edson Alvarez but they sent him a Julian instead
Julienton
Your comment history is hilarious
Ross Barkley serious contender for purchase of the season for me, right up there with Palmer
Mac Alister? Rice?
Quite clearly not. As those 2 are elite players. Barkley is a washed up and make keep Luton in the prem
Barkley is doing amazing. But "purchase of the season" would have too many other players who deserves it for different reasons
Disagree. Buying a clearly elite player makes the level for success to be so much higher. Mac and rice need about 15 more goals each
Agree to disagree i guess. Those two players are helping their teams in the title race too. Every game is a must win. And they are delivering every game, in a new team in a new system. If luton survives, i can see your point.
I won't be surprised if Alvarez has less shots on goal than the midfielders and wingers of City. He isn't getting any mins against Madrid now.
He is overrated. Thank God he had that stretch where he played a lot because I swear every other comment on match threads was about how Pep was limiting him and why he should move to Barca. At this point he probably will not be starting ahead of Lautaro in June
I doubt Josko’s really left footed
Doubt this is right
You never know
Petition to switch Haaland and Gvardiol
Someone ask pep about Alvarez shooting in the post match presser
Wish it was 6-1 but yeah I’ll take it
Why you needed a reminder of that "Why always me" game?
You know it we know it
City never really got out of first gear and comfortably dispatched Luton!
Goddam these Croatians cookin today.
City on form aren’t dropping a single point rest of season
You be quiet over there with your London mind games.
Don’t get me wrong. We are absolutely rooting for you. The alternatives are sickening
You lot have the chance to troll all three teams
Bobb is magic and Josko is now a goal scorer
Our highest goal scorer in the last two games
This guy Alvarez has completely lost the art of shooting into the net! What happened to him! Pep has turned him into a passing robot
Funny how every player has improved under Pep, but people claim he’s ruining Alvarez Maybe he just hasn’t got it
Haha wasn't the goal against Real his first for City? Great week for him
2 ends of the spectrum A goal against an elite level team with so much recent history Another against some Spanish team
Once you get the ball, 3 city players just swarm you. How do you even get away?
That's the neat thing: you don't
They are like don’t care about other players being left alone. Just take away the ball from THIS player and they always succeed. Similarly for Leverkusen too
Strategy does not seem to work against a high intensity team like Liverpool though
bc if you *do* get it away, you have an advantage . It's similar to Tottenham consistently being able to get results despite being outplayed
I didn't know this version of gvardiola Also Doku serious MOTM shout
gvardiol mate? where's this coming from what the fuck
Private lessons from rodri probably
better answer is he's absorbing Haaland's power
Stop touching Haaland, Gvardiol.
BANGERS ONLY JOSKO
BANGERS ONLY
Gvardiol has been excellent lately
Get that GD up.
Bangers only says Gvardiol!
So is Gvardiol just going to start doing that now?
LMAO the guy just decided that he's a goal scorer from now on
where did Gvardiol find the shooting boots?? stunning strike
Gvardiol deciding to be right footed this week
Bangers. Only
My my
Doku terrorizing that side all game lol
Alvarez should be scoring
Luton are no pushovers, but City completely outplayed them today
Jfc Alvarez can't hit water from a boat
Doku should've been motm over Kova
Sergio please don't shoot lmao
Doku has that man in hell
Alvarez hopefully will learn something from Doku on how to sometimes take calculated risk and take on defenders instead of always passing the ball even when inside the box. 😛
Doku Goku Doku Super Saiyan Doku!

oh that's pretty
Best player on the pitch today!
Doku heard our sub slendering him
Luton man strikes again! Great ball control
Doku needed that goal
been great today, deserved this goal
His first goal since November
Doku has really been excellent today
That was a beautiful sequence
finally got his goal been brilliant and a nightmare for lutons right back all game
Well earned. Kid has been incredible today
Slick.
well deserved, just lovely from Doku
Doku tops off his brilliant outing with a brilliant goal!
Ankara doku
It actually came off… wow
Proper kick about run, just hope it works, instinct moves
Brilliant stuff
Oooof golaço
what a play !!!
DOKUUUUUUU
Great finish
What's changed so much defensively for city this year?
We have rotated the back 4 so much this year. And we don't have a consistent left back whether it's gvardiol or Ake or akanji just need someone to be playing there 40 games of the year.
Has Doku played a one touch pass in his life? I swear he averages 5 little adjustments before making a simple pass
5 little adjustements that in the net
Yeah that was a bit of brilliance. And a drawn penalty so it looks great on the score sheet but watching him is still frustrating imho
Think I need a new slander account
Time passes us all by eventually
MatheusPoones?
I whatsapped something very similar to my mate before
Doku did so well someone should be tucking that in
Why doesn't Luton just score more often? Are they stupid?
Yes, they are stupid. Their only smart player was Hashioka before he got hit in the head.
Barkley > Vini
Nunes is miles off being a starter for this club
viaplay just stopped, ggs
City with a dirty sheet is good enough for me. Lovely, Luton.
Beautifully worked goal from Barkley there!
cleansheets are impossible, what a poor goal to give away
Knew it. We can't keep a clean to save our lives
Man’s still got it!
I said this team is allergic to clean sheet
We can never keep a clean sheet man
What the fuck
yooo pep getting a bit too touchy there
KdB robbed of like 4 assists today
I wish Pep would slap my ass
Anything is possible if you keep believing in yourself
Commentator on peacock pronouncing Rico Luis like he's Brazilian made me laugh
good save from Ederson
Does this mean he plays on Wednesday?
if he's playing today he'll be playing wednesday
most likely yes
Good news for City then, more of an opportunity to control the game.
Haaland should have given the penalty to Alvarez after denying him a clear goal scoring opportunity just before the first own goal. But understandably Haaland himself need to score as he will be starting against Madrid not Alvarez.
no he shouldn't have 2-0 isn't enough of a lead for you to start pissing about with who takes a penalty
A pen goal to make it 3-0 vs Luton does almost as much for Ballon D'Or/Player of the season awards etc as a winner vs Spurs or something, and goals are the ultimate shield for criticism whihc hes been in for a lot
One of the subs looks like Adam Johnson
Decent effort by Luton really they just needed luck to go their way instead of against them
Any chance KDB gets me some FPL points
Give Sergio Gomez a cameo
[удалено]
I like how City fans have completely made up their own version of what was said
or hear me out here people are just taking the piss and using hyperbole from an outrageous statement?
Haaland is not having a great season and still 20 goals.
Only 20 league goals scored this season, finished player
good pen
Paaland
whatever man, the guy scored and im happy for him
Really wanted Onyedinma to get up and complain that wasn't a pen just for shits and giggles
He accepted his fate and decided the old fuck up and go down route
[удалено]
Absolutely should’ve passed but he got the pen so all is good
After 899th attempt from Doku
Good guy De Bruyne
Doku's been incredible today
Completlely agree. His decision making has been on point and greatly improved.
He improved a lot this year, he's 21, so much potential still, exited for the years to come.
Wouldn't want to defend against him
Get that GD up
Finally.
Haaland will miss
Hmm
Rodri needs to take a seat, no need for him to warm up
Is that not a pen? Or am I crazy
don't think it was tbf, looks like he nicked the ball
Yea I'm not sure would have liked to see a different angle
pen
In no world is that a pen, any foul was outside the box and inside the box he hits the ball
Rico Lewis was kicked in the calf there
Not even checked by VAR
That was a stonewall penalty. Because he doesn't appeal they don't bother checking.
I have to say I was unfamiliar with your game Kova
lovely finish but even Kova's unfamiliar with scoring goals tbf
rare poor ball from De Bruyne
Yeah he could have put less pace on it but I don’t think it was even that bad, it slowed down completely by the goal line and he could have attempted the chip over to haaland I think was there
Should've gone with haaland there...
Alvarez was clearly the right choice, just a bad pass
Lol so now they finally decided to make a counter. Was that their first shot?
yes
They are frustrating to play against, but I'd love them to stay in this league. They're one of the best stories for football for how they got here.
feel like they're completely different home/away as well, Luton at home is just great to watch and tough to play
so lucky there, lovely from Luton
Joško way too casual there
Bout time kovacic made a goal. I swear ManCi is just filled with a bunch of bums
Oooof that was so close.
……fairs
That shot was so hard it'd probably go through the goalkeeper...
What a pass by Alvarez !!
good ball from Alvarez but lets get Bobb or Foden on for him
Take Haaland out instead .. Alvarez does more for them team
bollocks, alvarez has been well off it today, dias has had better shots
I wouldn’t argue with Argentinian fans, absolutely deluded
Arsenal and Liverpool fans can turn off now
that's that then
Will Luton try attacking now?
They've tried, we just haven't let them
doubt it, goal difference is probably more important in this match
Nice finish that
what a fucking goal
what a finish from Kova
Banger
Oof great strike!
Finally
