How has Kompany not been sacked yet?

They are atrocious, give themselves no chance against most teams the way they set up.

Could be bottom soon with Shef Utd at home vs Brighton coming off a big win.

Spent over £100m too.

I can still only name about 5 of their players.

Dreadful stuff.

Apparently they just bought loads of wingers in the summer. Kompany has taken over all their recruitment and is using his own analytics firm

Think they've been seduced by what Brighton have done and forgot they needed a competent team to start with.

AAAGHHHH why didn't i just follow my gut ffs.
On a saturday i always do 2 accas at the bookies.
The 1st one i pick 7 teams i just fancy, then the 2nd i look for teams that could win at decent prices.
So today for my 2nd one i pick birmingham, coventry, cheltenham, doncaster and all but put wolves in at what i thought was a huge 9/2 before thinking of all the luck spurs do have and bottled it.
Was then going to put forest in instead, but thinking i really don't want them to win so binned that idea.
So who do i put in? fucking fulham.
If i had gone my gut and stuck wolves in would have had roughly back £440 for a £2 acca.
If i stuck forest in who were the same price as Fulham i would have had just shy of £200
Fuck my luck

Only reason he stayed in a job last season was staying in Europe, might be similar this season.
Sounds like the fans have turned but it seems to be more about the style of play than anything else. I don't really know what they expect, they're West Ham and they're 8th in the league, that's probably about right for them but they've always had delusions of grandeur and thought they were a big club.

Carragher really needs to hide his fume when Chelsea miss a good chance better.

For all his failings, Poch is one of the best managers in the world at setting up to cause Guardiola teams serious problems. Always seems to have his number. Chelsea could be 2/3-0 up here.

Not sure how Caicedo got away with a red card before either. It's an absolute shocker.

Did he even get a yellow? Ridiculous.

You look at Chelsea's forwards and it's not a great surprise that they'll get through a couple of times. Jackson is looking less useless lately as well.

Neville isn't that bad on co-comms for bias probably because Man United are nowhere near but Carragher can't hide his wanting the best for Liverpool at all. Wish they'd fuck them off commentary.

City high line is begging for it , Walker piss poor for a while now

Too much build up play from the centre halves for me. Ake Akanji Dias all 20 yds outside Chelsea's box just asking to be hit on the break
