    Even if it’s true, it still doesn’t explain why he wasn’t given more minutes from the bench.

    I am not sure what’s easier to defend, the runs in behind that our attackers are actually good at or asking them to beat the fullbacks 1v1 on a standing start which they had showed time and again they are incapable of doing. And how deep is super deep? What I see is that teams usually have...

    I think someone did in a previous interview and ange basically said he feels Lo celso had been contributing this season but he’s playing for a big club, any player that has a problem with playing time can look for it elsewhere.

    I think that depends largely on how they are going to be used, if like you said we are going to create space for them with better movement from those around them and have our midfield actively look to pick out their runs then I think they does fit perfectly, as their strength are in making runs...

    playing on the counter is not the only way to utilize players with pace and specialized in making runs in behind, look at the first goal we scored last night, where Johnson got behind the fullback as his run was picked out by a team mate, that’s all you need at times, players looking for the...

    I think that’s true if we are halfway through the season but not at the tail end. He should have been more than clear on who fits his style and who’s not in his plan next season by now.

    I do get what you are saying, but are we really going to sell son and Johnson in the summer?

    Then maybe you could explain better what you mean by saying “now how does he know who truly fits how he really wants to play going forwards, how does that help recruitment?” When these players have been here the whole time playing his way?

    These are not new players to him, they have been working with him for almost an entire season, is he still not aware that son can’t hold the ball up under pressure, that Johnson can’t beat his fullback 1v1 consistently to be a viable threat especially on the left, that deki is going to cut...

    Really? No one is suggesting that we should play a low block and do counter attacks but there’s more than one way of playing possession based attacking football with the Same fundamental philosophy. are you suggesting that after almost a full season, our only attacking plan is to rely on the...

    Yea at least there is some encouraging signs that he’s trying to cut inside and get a shot away, which he hasn’t been doing for the most part of the season.

    Ange’s ego, he’ll look a real mug when Lo celso is finally started and win us a game. joking aside, just can’t understand why wasn’t he given a chance. It’s not like he’s a liability off the ball, he spent just as much effort defending in our box as he’s attacking in the opposition’s box.

    City’s the only match that it doesn’t really matter.

    Player Watch: Emerson Royal

    He was bad today but the tactics that’s left him so exposed is one of the reasons too. I doubt skipp would have done much better with the amount of times Emerson was left in 2v1 situations during the match, even just going 1v1 with Salah, skipp could have given away a penalty if not for the...

    Which then begs the question, why do you set up the team to play in a way that the players are technically incapable of doing? Why insist on playing in a way that’s exposing their weaknesses instead of tweaking the system to utilize their strength?
