My bad - for some reason I thought he was in a similar situation there as well, but apparently I was wrong.
Not that I’ve been able to find.

In fact I believe multiple people from the team (manager and someone else?) came out and explicitly stated that they had heard the story but it doesn’t match their experience with him at all.

It just seems like he’s had some really shitty injury/sickness luck (just now getting over the flu after the international break, apparently) and hasn’t been able to get back into the lineup consistently.

Not 50/50 anymore. This one's over.

City are ruthless. These assholes are going to win the treble...

Ruthless is the word. It was a fairly even game but City pounced on mistakes. Still can’t figure out what the Munich striker was doing when he just ran up the pitch and let Rodri wide open. And that #2 in the back..... oooffffhhhhh

Yeah, Upamecano was a disaster. I don't think he's a bad defender, but he looked like a drunk running through quicksand.

That had the makings of a fun home tie until Lampard subbed in Cucarella.

When Koulibaly goes down, you sub him and Kovacic off, put mudryk and mount on, and play for the draw, go 4 3 2 1 with Mount and Enzo picking Mudryk out running vertically.

Positional rigidity kills the best teams, it massacres the mediocre.

Why exactly would they want Serie A in the Final? The league isn't even that popular anymore.
That's a fair point, probably isn't anything to though in the past they're have been shady draws in general (like leaking tickets before the draw actually took place). I like all three of these teams though in Serie A. Have football manager saves with all of them. Anyone but Juventus @Hollywood Cannon.

And yeah, except for Reyna for some insane reason. Every time he’s come on he’s made an impact and yet he’s rarely even subbing in. Really irritating.
To perfectly illustrate what I was saying in the above post from the other day:

And he only came on in the 82nd minute today...

Losing confidence
I'm hopeful City won't just win every game. They still have Brighton and Brentford away. And Everton away with Sean Dyche fighting relegation.

In the end it all comes down to the game on April 26th. If you can't get at least one point in two games against City, you don't deserve to win the title anyway.

How about the game Antony had? I’ll tag @Starat327 just for kicks
