de Bruyne is gonna be out for apparently 3 months.

@JohnnyShoulder If any club can lose a player of De Bruyne's quality, it's City. They have a very strong squad.

@WanderingBullet They certainly didn't miss him on the weekend!

@JohnnyShoulder Yeah, and it looks like Pep's finally starting Aguero in their matches. Unlike last season where he seem to preferred Jesus as his first choice.

@WanderingBullet I hope it continues, he is in my Fantasy Football Team!

@JohnnyShoulder Haha, good choice. For me he's been the best striker in the EPL for the past 6-7 seasons now.

I still have to buy PES 2019 but in the meantime I created a Pushsquare kit!

Messi got snubbed from FIFA Player of the Year finalists list.

Inter did it! I was close to heart attack, but I survived...

Phew! Liverpool leave it late too! But we were the much better team all over the pitch imo.

Modrić just got the Fifa ballon d'or! Congrats Luka, well deserved!

Ballon d'or is a different award which is given later on and it's a real deal, unlike this fifa award, but congrats nevertheless.

FINALLY Mourinho gets the sack! After all this time of grossly underperforming😂. Who are they going to get in next, Wenger? 🤣

@Wesker Big Sam, to fight off relegation.

I'm gutted, I was really enjoying their performances!

José getting sacked is like the end of one of your favourite comedy shows.

@themcnoisy it still way too early to say that about winning the league. Even if Manc Citeh drop points tomorrow (which I highly doubt they will) 7 points is nothing at this stage of the season. More points have been pegged back in a shorter space of time.

@JohnnyShoulder your next 2 games are at home, which you will win. The weather is meant to go awful over the next 2 weeks so playing at home is huge. Then it's only 14 games left. Man City are in the league Cup and fa cup so you can rest. De Bruyne has come back too quickly from injury and won't be the same player until next season. Fernandino can't play defensive mid on his own for the next 22 minimum or 30plus maximum games man City have left in their season including cups as he's too old to play every time at 100mph and recover in time. That also applies to Kompany and Silva who are important players for City. I also think the Man City vs Tottenham / Chelsea final will be brutal, Pochetino and Sarri haven't won anything before and will go crazy in an attempt to win. So I think man City will drop anywhere between 10 and 15 points by the end of the season. Liverpool will drop points, but if you keep your back line fit you will be fine.

@themcnoisy I mean i support Liverpool but I think you are clutching at straws with some of those points. The weather, really?! Man City have the best, deepest squad in the Prem and they have coped without KDB really well so far. They may buy extra cover for Fernandino in Jan and he probs won't play all those games, but you could say that about VVD for Liverpool, If they lost him to injury it would be a disaster. It never sits easy with me when someone say a team will win the league when it is this close and we are only in January.

One thing I'm sure of is that Man City will run us really close and not totally out of they question that they will go top for a couple of weeks. They have done this before and have players that have experienced this which serve their players well mentally in the closing stages.

Liverpool doing their best to blow my prediction.

You best be praying the grand old team do you a favour on Wednesday. We won't because we are playing terrible but we can all pray for a miracle on Merseyside together. Michael Keane, Seamus Colema. and Kurt Zouma vs Aguero, Silva and De Bruyne.

Fml.

@themcnoisy Yeah the weather really impacting Man City lol.

I never hope or rely on other teams to do us a favour, we should be taking care of business ourselves. The last couple of results it does feel there has been a shift in impetuous.
