Who was the last bloke he tried who he fucked over?

Phillips

Ah right. Yeah not the best man management there.

He certainly didn't prove Guardiola wrong since

I think it would of been a different game if Haarland was picked to play  ;)

Rumours around that he is unhappy and would welcome a move - thats a shame
Who is Haarland?

because he's just not that good, but the fact is that, for anyone looking at moving there as a DM, the last guy played about 2 hours of premier league football over 2 seasons.

I quite like Rico Lewis as a player but I thought he was their weak on Saturday. He didn't seem to know where he was meant to be playing.

I think he was trying to play in that advanced midfield fullback position ( where Trent Derby plays) but as you say didn't know whether to stick or twist.

You've always got a chance with Rico Lewis in midfield , and Kovacic for that matter. Both are weak poor players .

It's nice we can beat them again after so many years of their owner's sportswashing, sorry investment: well, at home that is!

I don't see what Rico Lewis is good at. He's always looked shit to me.

FWIW, I thought that Gundogan and Bernardo Silva were poor, I half expected bath chairs to be brought on for them. In addition, De Bruyne must be near enough finished fitness wise if Pep wouldn't bring him on for 10-15 minutes.
