Super Sunday begins with the first of two meetings between new mangers today with Enzo Maresca's Manchester City hosting Marco Rose's AFC Bournemouth. Maresca's return to the Citizens began in the worst possible fashion last weekend, as they were humbled 3-0 by Arsenal in the Community Shield. The Cherries begin life after Andoni Iraola, who guided them not only to their highest ever finish, but also European football for the first time in the club's history.Kick-off is at 2:00pm with coverage on Sky Sports Main Event.MNC: Donnarumma; Khusanov, Dias (c), Guehi, Gvardiol; Lewis, Anderson, O'Reilly; Semenyo, Foden; Haaland.>SUBS: Rulli, Marmoush, Kovacic, Cherki, Gonzalez, Grealish, Ait-Nouri, Reis, NunesBOU: Petrovic; Smith (c), Silva, Hill, Truffert; Cook, Scott; Tavernier, Kluivert, Rayan; Evanilson.>Subs: Dennis, Brooks, Gannon-Doak, Adams, Diakite, Sanchez, Toth, Jebbison, Rodriguez

>>157456497>>157456511>>157456526Sad gimmickposters like you are the reason this board is dead.
>>157456526yeah this is as good as we're going to get i think
>>157456510If you include Lewis and O'Reilly, there are six defensive players in total.
>>157456549of course God forbid anyone know what channel the game will be on
>>157456568You're not funny mate, nobody on here thinks you are.

Man City have agreed a deal worth £85 million to sign 18 year old Lille midfielder Ayyoub Bouaddi.Fucking money laundering going on with City & Spurs

>Removes hair>Can't even tap in a free ballNo...
>Villol
come on city bulls defend our values x
>villel
ball was too high to tap and too low to head, shame Haaland normally feasts on those and invents some crazy flying tap-in finish
>Villkek
haaland lost his magic with that afwul cut
Erling will deliverJust have patients
>>157457609Yeah hair transplant patients
Did baldland cut his hair himself?
>>157457652it's on his youtube channel
i remember when i cut off my long hair, immediately lost all my aura. my mum liked it but the hoes didnt care for me anymore because i lost the one thing that made me uniquedont do it
Is there a manager with a better coaching tree than Guardiola? Former assistant managers turned managers include Villanova (RIP), Torrent, Arteta, Juanma, Maresca and Vicens.
>>157457652its on his youtube channel
Phil is so useless, such a liability
>>157457696leave fodeypops out of this
>>157457683I've seen TikToks of foids crying cus of their bfs got buzzcuts
Oh yeah erling good idea mate, let's chop all your hair off, a core part of your identity, at the exact same time as your club goes through a massive change of eras from the best coach possibly ever to a doomed-to-fail jobber. I'm sure this won't have any negative subconscious effects on you or the narrative around your club, of which you are the clear face, whatsoever
Haaland lost his touch since getting a hair cut Citysisters, is it over?
>>157457725i wouldnt be surprised if haaland got the buzzcut because he (or his gf) didnt like all the attention he was getting from foids online after the world cup
>shitty
Lmao
115 is kill
LMFAO
Whats with these players colliding with each other. It happened at the Brighton Villa game too
4 goals in a row before their last goal. It's so over for City.
disgusting!!!!!!
Cant defend with 6 defenders.
>arsenalwinslolmight just give prem a miss this year
oh it is OVER for city
We are in an Arsenal decade now
Just
This goal is a result of the City defenders not having any familiarity with their current positions or roles
>Maresca breakdown followed by his own trans character arc before NovemberCalling it now
You kiddings?I bet my rent money on City
actual benny hill defending lmfao
>open stream>bournemouth scoresit's so over, season is over
LMAO EVERYONE WATCH THE VILLA MATCH FUCK SHITTY WATCH VILLA
God Six chads, I'm genuinely considering ending it all
>goes a goal down>starts crying for penaltiesgrim
BRIGHTON 4-0 UP ON VILLA
same ol citeh always cheatin
>>157457807lmao wtf
>rico lewisKwab why is he still at city?
>>157457807>4-0Ohnononono
I love the Premier League so goddamn much
Damn, I was joking when I said its the era of >arsewinslol yet here we are
It's like watching Chelsea. Enjoy this football all season City
webm?
My theory has always been anytime Rico Lewis plays City lose
greek commentator crying and seething because bournemouth is giving shitty sissies wowies
city has easy schedule start of the season, couplke easy games. they should get 9 points otherwise it's overthis manager wont last long, gone by christmas
This has got to be the weirdest opening week ever
>>157457861They're going to benefit massively from every potential rival being in meltdown. Only unknown will be Chelsea (90% chance they'll be shit, 10% chance they just needed a competent manager to kick their shit into gear)
>>157457837>35 mins inJesus
>>157457890Tbf its been coming, they are the only well run top PL club past few years.
>Rodri's replacement getting smoked on the counterI'm telling you City finish 7th at best this season
I think I rate Hurzeler.
Where's our boy Dutch city fan??
>Kenneth, Glasgow: With or without Iraola, this Bournemouth side are a well oiled, fearless side. The identity and blueprint seems already imprinted across the squad.Kenneth discovering what a system club is.
>>157457953that famously pacey player RodriCity never got smoked on the counter ever when he was playing
>>157457963Still on the phone, I reckon
Villa now down to 10 men This is an insane watch
>Pooben Dias
>>157458001No he didn't because his positioning meant he was never in the position to get smoked. Don't try and be a smart arse you need to be smart for that.
Where can i watch the guardiola doco for free? I honestly cant find a torrent.
>>157458017>4-0
>>157458078Most dangerous lead
>>157457932>Buy good players>Field a balanced team>Defend well and don't do stupid stuff>Score from set piecesIt's literally that simple
>>157458001He didn't, Pep was always very good at teaching his players to foul and stop the counter
>MoyesescaGone by April. People underestimate how rapidly a winning team can go to absolute shit purely off the psychological impact of losing a great manager
Kovacic is so shit
>>157458106Happened to Emery too when he was at Arsenal (albeit not as consistently winning as the two Manchester clubs).
Baldie is gonna do a Tuchel and sub in two more defenders
>>157458092They've also benefitted massively from finding gaps in ref enforcement. They were bowling underwarm most of last season.
>Brighton>Bournemouth >BrentfordWhy couldn't Burnley pull it off
Everyone sucks ass this year... Arsenal are gonna be champions by early November...
>>157458168SCOTT PARKER
>>157458106Not really fare to say it based on 1 half but this is exactly how Chelsea played under him. He's Guardiola-lite, none of the control of the middle third and no pace.Playing against defensive teams produced this kind of turd boring performance almost every time. Players get frustrated, overcommit and you get fucked by an out of the blue counter.
>>157458040I've seen it happen dozens of times though
Hairless Haaland is pathetic
CHIMPOUT
hair loss to head loss
that was a clear red card btw of course var isnt gonna check it
I've seen enough. Get Ruben Dias off. Vitor Reis would be better.
>>157458248what was?
Bournemouth have the best looking kit by miles.
PLEASE tell me someone get a webm of the keeper throwing the ball and nearly losing it
>>157458276elbow to the face
>>157458276Gvardiol lightly shoving Evanlison away
>>157458293on evanilson?
>GO AT>Sisters and brothers...We're getting another season of all these shit soundbites/eyecatches...What was the best Sky Sports theme?
>>157458281that kit is pretty kino without the pink dot
>>157458306For me it's Moloko
>>157458281The sponsor completely ruins it.
Anderson is getting cooked.
Guys... What happened to citeh
For me, it's Chongqing Tonglianglong
>>157458357Those 100 charges. Can't buy the refs anymore.
So no slags then. Janny finally won.
>>157458362>not the Chengdu Rongcheng F.C.
>>157458357They aged out
>>157458357Superstars aging, tried to bring in a "similar" manager who is just someone who copied Peps homework.This is exactly how Chelsea played against teams that parked the bus under him.
cahm ahn are haaland
evryone will say city regressed but never mention how other teams progressed. bournemouth would finish 3rd or 4th at worst in la liga
>>157457777Seething
>>157458362I could go for some Chongqing food right now, it's good shitGetting a good mapo tofu outside China is strangely difficult
>>157458506That was the main thing people were saying 2 seasons ago when City won 1 game in 14. They were getting battered by Brighton and Bournemouth and all these other super midtable teams
>>157458357Haven't bought a good player since Haaland
>>157458546both these teams pay and invest more than atletico madrid.
>>157458463>This way we dont have to worry about blood stains comrade
>>157458533For me it's American Mall 'Chinese'. Not even joking, I could live off of Orange Chicken and bourbon chicken.>malls dying out>Panda Express somehow aren't as good as any of the generic food court chinese.Feels bad man.
>>157458323Yeah this but I was a kid suppose I would say whatever was on thenUsed to sing it with my brother and we'd see how long we could hold it till we said last in unisonLet's make this moment....*25 seconds pass*...LastAlso liked Kasabian as it was just quite appropriate for footy
>>157458506if bournemouth were in la liga they would have osasunas budget so they d still finish 14th
>>157458610It's well known that American-Chinese is basically a distinct subspecies of Chinese food, but I've never been to UK I hear yours is also kinda different
>when you have 15% less oil money available
Guardiola left at the right time.
>>157458645my point exactly. teams lik bournemouth can attract top talent
>>157458685thank God for the glorious Iranian revolution
>GAY HE
>Gay he
This is excruciating to watch
all that’s left is the 115 charges hammer coming down in full force.
>>157457683You WILL look like a greasy smelly neck beard if you aren't handsome if you have long hair, even if you don't actually have a neck beard or greasy hair
>>157458610Id trade orange chicken for an Irish spice bag. The one at spoons didnt scratch the itch
COME ON CITEH COME ON CITEH COME ON CITEH
Feels like its all tumbling downIf the FA have any balls they will finally bring forth the verdict of 116 charges and send shitty to League 1 where they belong
I always laugh at that Egypt vs Argentina game when they were up 2-0 at the 78th minute and the Egyptian coach subbed a defender off for Marmoush a striker. What was he smoking
>>157458834>youtube shorts recipeswhy are americans like this
>saves your club
>>157458899Is he the missing link?
>>157458894A man wants what he can have.
>>157458907Yes in both senses
>>157458907lmao
>>157458907certainly looks like it.
>>157458899Is that in your path mate?
Lads… why is the mighty Manchester City starting the season with Nico ORLY as a creative midfielder?
ISAK STARTS
Season over
>Anderson is killOh lawdy
>>157458945Because that's his position. He was never a left back.
€135million down the drain
>>157458664Bigger focus on wet curry like dishes, no velveted fried chick (just regular battered chicken instead with a pour on sauce).
>>157458813>https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2026-08-22/manchester-city-financial-rules-verdict-hangs-over-uk-s-relations-with-emiratis
Shitty back to being a low table team
My favorite fulbo trope is shit manager being appointed in a good club and filling it with shit players because he doesn’t know better
So Liverpool are the only team standing in Arsenal's way right? (Don't you dare say Chelsea)
>>157459000I mean yeah there was never anything severe happening to City because football has delved too much into politics but a man can dream.
>spend gorillion dollars>incipient opening game loss anyway>halaand balding and had to buzz his hair>team just generally on the declineSo this is the power of a T O P 6 team?
65 minutes into the season and Haaland already looks like he's got one foot out the door
>>157459015Liverpool still don't have a RW
>>157459023>because football has delved too much into politicsYou mean the other way around.
>>157459015The thing that stands in Arsenal's way is ref enforcement. A lot of the bus parked teams will become much better against them if Arsenal aren't allowed to run in an block keepers and defenders every set piece. The refs blow for these and they'll drop loads of points.
>>157459035Aren't they signing another PSG ngubu?
>>157459015Xabi will cook Arteta
>>157457012butifel english rose
>>1574590606 open play goals in 2 games and everybody's acting like they're still set piece FC
Do some betting apps show live games?
looks like 5 year old
WAHEEY
>>157459133>>>157458610yes live365
Boy I sure do love build up play with no shot on goal
>>157459127Spurs were top after 5 games last season
>Hairless Haaland
Samson effect
HAAL-ACK
>>157459137the fuck was he thinking
Bournemouth are fixing to lose this
He lost his superpower
Bournemouth have changed tactics to park the busWrong move
>>157459168If city and liverpool both lose today then Arsenal will be champions. The EPL can't have that so a call will be made soon.
>>157459181they're really good on the counterattack
>we can't score
>>157459137ahhhh, the >I just noticed I'm balding so I'm going to get a cope buzz cut to try and hide ithaircutMany of us know it well
>Guehi as your playmaker
Someone make the >I CAN'T SCORE with Halaand.
>>157459181It's so fucking stupid this clearly ends 2-1
genuinely lost his powerwhat the fuck
The creative players in the city of Manchester is Maguire and GuehiWhat a world we live in
>>157459015Alonso is the only manager that has shown an elite level before. It can only be him
go to arsenal erling. it's time.
Why Haaland looks like JUST? Did he at least donated his hair?
>>157458645Bournemouth would win that Mickey Mouse league by January.
>>157456472ayy lmao this nigga called Lewis Cuck
>>157459236Donated it for a sissy wig most likely
Did City hire this fraud so they can make a run at Enrique next year? It doesn't make sense otherwise
>>157459200cutting your hair short is not what you do to hide baldingt. balding for 12 years
city is not even looking dangerous, they're just badand where is grealish, he should be in starting lineup
Grealingz redemption arc incoming
>>157459229According to his father, he wants to play La Liga next, will either join Real or Barca
>AGHH SAVE US GREALISH!
>>157459137Would be fine if he didn't have it all combed forward like a downie
>grealish
>>157459279cutting his hair to look like a little boy so he can join all the twinks are real madridclever lad
>Man United calling on Rashford>Man City calling on GrealishWhat year is this?
>>157459279mbappe and haaland cant and wont play on the same team
pen to bournemouth based on the new rules surelydonnaruma putting hands on everybody
>>157459263Pep said he was just as good as himself
>Grealishhas it really got so bad?City are worse than Utd at this point
>>157459335Mbappé can't play with anyone to be fair
>>157459265eh, it's what you do in the VERY early stages before you're forced into the permanent adoption of combover tier hairstyles in about 16 months
how did Anderson play?
>>157459263>>157459350maybe pep said hire this guys, because the downfall of the team would make him look even better
>Foden storming off down tunnellmao chav cunt
>>157459350Klopp endorsed Slotdoesn't mean much really
>>157459343If this sport was serious, the league would be punishing him after the match
Did Everton not try to get Grealish?
>>157459350classic sabotage the club so you look better in comparisonPep is probably laughing his ass off at this performance
Only a bald fraud Pep clone like Enzo Maresca could actively shut down a goal machine like August Haaland
>mememouthyeah just stop playing lads, great plan
>>157459343>karate chopping necks>shoving>divinghow the fuck he got away with all that I'll never know
how many free headers is that from corners for city, bournemouth are dreadful at defending em

>MememouthUseless bastards, Rose is going to have to learn quickly
bournemouth will score again in the 96th minute
Guehi's the only one who gives a shit. Haaland has given up without Pep and Foden etc are following his lead>>157459375kek he needs to shave the other eyebrow the dirty chav shit
Fuck off.
>>157459372>the ol' SAF approach
Shocking marking
OG?
Why was no one marking him? Marking on corners is dire these days everywhere, it feels like.
>>157459366Looked great in duels and winning second balls, didn't contribute much offensively, then apparently injured his hamstring and went off. one of the better players in the first half
waiting for the +8 without any justification whatsoever
Hey Bournemouth, fancy marking people from corners?Bournemouth: No I don't think I will
Pk incoming
>score early >outplay better, on paper, side >minute x comes up>stop playing and concede why?
brilliant display of black excellence x
City could be really good again. Chelsea were shit hot at times under Pip
GOD SIX CHADS WE STAY WINNING
Is the >No Pep, no partything real? A mourning Messi coming 1 week after the WC is still scoring for his dogshit club while Haaland is still a ghost despite having rested for a month
set piece cityhow the tables have turned
>park for the entire second half>getting shelled, do nothing>finally fuck up and concede>start actually playing again and get the ball up easilyWHY DIDN'T YOU JUST KEEP ATTACKING IF YOU HAD THE ABILITY TOTHIS WHOLE TIME YOU MORONS
>>157459462Bournemouth have time wasted on every single stoppage so far
>>157459447Guehi missed a sitter earlier, so Bournemouth assumed he wouldn't be a threat.
>Gannon-doak>dewsberry hall what is it with britbongs and having hotel names?
>>157459494They might experience a bit of a Ferguson effect but it won't be as bad. Utd were not great when he left.
>>157459475they parked the bus at about minute 30
>shitlish
city and united are already out of title race, they look so badliverpool or chelsea will have to challenge arse
Grealish literally watched the ball go out before controlling it lmao
iraola would've won this 3-0

>>157459524>t. Konstantinos Papadopoulos
HOWEVER
Stay on, idiot
shitty wins again
he's on
Looked off, tight though.
might actually be on
is anyone finna buy fc 27? havent played since 24 because of how addicted i get to that game
>>157459524>Gannon-doakthat one is especially dumb because he was always just ben doak then decided a year or two ago to add his mom's surname to his shirt for some reason
5 keeps him on?
He's on lmao
>>157459560you can watch him blow it away at the worst newcastle team in a few minutes
Actually he looks on
>+3Literally how?
Told you they put them the retarded beam
maresca saved by var kek
he's on fuck sake this german cunt coach is wank
Never in doubt
Ahahaha, get fucked, Mememouth.
Way to be absolutely useless Bournemouth
everyone switch to patetico
Kek fuck off
lovely! another win for neoliberalism
>Memememe
cherki did more in 7 minutes than that nigga Foden in 70
I take everything back.Centrebacks are apperently the best attacking option for City
Halaand is still invisible even if they barely won.
>>157459575probably, but just cause I haven't played since 17. We all know 27 is gonna be mid as fuck in reality. At this point the franchise is just there to extract money from mserable gambling addict FUTfags
VARchester City strikes again
look immediately city scored 2 after they subbed grealishgrealish should be in their startin lineup always
Gvardiol finishing with his weak foot too, what a baller. what a croat BVLL
VAR to the rescue
never watching bournemouth againnew coach is AIDS
Why did Maresca try too much with the lineup and not start him? Literally changed the game.
>>157459676desu city looks super weakthey need that 120m argentinan to play midfield at minimum
Kino
>>157459728They look rusty and have got loads of holes and weaknesses, but as individuals they all are very high quality and can pull wins out their arse like today
>>157458005damn would
>>157459728looks like anderson's injured as wellwouldn't be surprised if they spent another 300mil in the next week
Rigged
>>157459728Serious question. You have pictures of little girls on your computer, why don't you hang yourself?
