Way too early to say that unless you watched a lot of Roma last season
Promising start though. His technique doesn't look as natural as ederson's, but the passes are going precisely where he wants them to
Loving klopps insistence that we get his first choices in right now. Could easily have settled for second, cheaper choices on Keita, vvd and Alisson

Ederson strikes me more as a specialist at sweeping and kicking, which makes sense for a Guardiola team. Allison is more of an all rounder who’s just very good at all aspects.

Mues auba has a faaaaaaaarrrrr better chance to shot ratio than laca and think he is a much better striker. Last season was like what 10 goals in half a season compares to laca 14? Auba pace stretches defenders terrifically and should in theory create more space for others.
What Lacazette has over Auba is that he didn’t have to start against City and Chelsea. Once this initial hellish run is over, you’ll have a much fairer perspective.
By Killer7 Go To PostWhat the fuck is going on at United
I'd say Pogba has the makings of a better leader now than a season ago though.
Pity he has to be one in a pretty negative period.

Marcotti’s take on the issue.
It's all about spin, I guess. Spin, and how you view the person doing the talking.
Paul Pogba came out after Manchester United's 3-2 defeat at Brighton and, as I saw it, took the loss on the chin.
"The attitude that we had was not like we wanted to beat them," he said. "They had more hunger than us and that showed on the pitch. I put myself first. My attitude wasn't right enough. We'll keep trying and pushing and obviously it's a lesson for us."
I read that as a team captain saying the blame rests with the players on the pitch, himself first and foremost. Perhaps excessively so, too, because much of United's attacking output came via Pogba and the individual errors that cost Jose Mourinho's side the game weren't down to him. But hey: win and lose as a team. Pogba is taking responsibility and, along the way, he's perhaps deflecting some blame from his embattled manager.
Some, especially those who see everything through Mourinho vs. Pogba lenses, had the opposite view, seeing it as a veiled attack on the manager since "attitude" is presumably something he's supposed to instill.
Others, like Paul Scholes, took a different tack and skewered Pogba.
"I hope that is lost in translation," he said. "There is no defence for that comment, there is no defence for it. You say it to yourself, don't you? You're constantly saying it to yourself: 'Attitude right, make sure it's right.' You don't need other people to tell you. You don't need a manager to tell you that, or your teammates."
Needless to say, I don't get Scholes' comment. Pogba isn't using it as an excuse; he's offering an explanation about why his team was so poor. He's owning the defeat and he's doing it in public, something that may be novel to Scholes since he very rarely spoke after matches.
Maybe Scholes could get his "attitude right" by repeating "attitude right" over and over again in his head. For whatever reason, this didn't happen with United's players and all Pogba is doing is admitting it.
I would agree with Marcotti had there not been more context to the issue. He didn’t just put himself in the firing line, Pogba made veiled jabs at the manager’s tactics, and also had that whinge last week about how he’ll be fined if he speaks his mind. And then you have Raiola speaking on his behalf.
I guess I don’t agree with Scholes’ comments either, but Pogba has certainly been a willing partner in the mud slinging match.

Pogba seems like a player more suited to a contintental style of football. He could be competing for Balloons if he played in La Liga.
Love this celebration
Thought Liverpool didn't play great last night but the win highlighted that they now have a strong enough spine to see them through the tough games. Should be a good season for them.

No I'm not, i'm 28. But everyone is offended by anything these days and you can't even make a simple joke that isn't even meant to be offensive. It's meant to be a joke.
Some people are seriously considering to not even buy the game anymore after this. Grow a spine for god's sake.
Hans Teeuwen needs to have a word with these people
By confuziz Go To PostWtf is going on in the cyperpunk thread on era. Why is everyone so fucking PC these days, it's a fucking jokeThe problem for me is where the joke came from. It's not from any stand up, or comedic routine, but the gamergate community and their war against the SJW or liberals.
Fuck this generation
Now yeah, the people in ERA overrreact over everything, but I'm not about to argue for that tweet. It's absolute terrible PR.
Will still buy Cyberpunk though :p

The joke is meant to be offensive to a minority group though. It was originally invented to sarcastically take the piss out of trans people.
I do kinda find a lot of this stuff quite exhausting rather than outrageous but in 2018 it's a fucking stupid and ignorant thing to say on an official Twitter account.
By ATTICUS H Go To PostI'm ignorant on whether any Cyperpunk gameplay has been shown or is it just that trailer?Nope, apparently we will get something new.
cool, thanks!
I still need to finish RDR (game is too fun to just waste time in) and Mad Max and Witcher 3 and Dragon's Dogma and Doom but here I am playing Siege and Warframe to no end instead
it's a problem

I'll echo Flutter, though I had never come across the phrase outside of tumblr nut job furries but never made the connection to transphobia.
I don't think there was any malice in the tweet it was super tone-deaf especially in the current climate.
Era though, losing their shit at the drop of a hat is always horrifying watching their bloodlust.
There were 12 permabans in those two threads in under 1 hour. A record one of the mods admitted.

Can't believe people think CDProjekt is dogwhistling.
It's a dumb fucking thing to tweet, it's not a signal horn to gather alt right fans.
