I've seen them quite a few times this season and they have gone backwards I agree. It's weird, I think they have been the strongest team in Europe for a few years but not got the pots to prove it (albeit while dominating the prem). I don't see them doing it this time... or maybe they will, football can be weird like that. I'm sure that if Liverpool could win the league and City win the euros then both would be happy.... but one of those is looking a lot more likely than the other just now.
But, should mention United today, in the first half there was a bit where they looked like prime Ferguson era, breaking fast as fuck, direct and exciting, could have had it won by half time. I'd be happy for OGS to play a kind of breaking system, it makes sense with Rashford, Martial and James all so fast and dangerous and - not to put too fine a point on it - a weaker bunch of players behind them (midfield really, defence is getting there). It's just a question of whether fans will accept it, to me it makes for exciting games, I enjoyed that 3-3 draw the other day but I understand that many fans might not have done.
