Especially the ones lucky enough to play in Europe and make deep cup runs. We'd have to be the first team to look like shit despite playing 41 games all fucking season.
There's no scientific answer. He's been poor or injured for 18 months with a six game decent patch. The fact that Ange plays him ahead of Sarr is disgraceful. Clearly just willing him to be good.
This is what no selection pressure does to an XI. Aside from the LW spot, and all the guys going for that are inconsistent at the best of times, every other position on the pitch is pre-determined. Richy will come in for BJ, but the rest of them will start next week.
I would have started him today, but this is a bit disingenuous. All wingers look better against tired defences, particularly when the sting is out of the game.
I am literally begging Munn, Lange and co. to sell this guy. He's capable, sure, but we need to be aiming so much higher. I don't think he has the standards of discipline and particularly consistency required. I really feel for Bentancur sitting on the bench, he's been up and down but given his...
I'm surprised Southgate picked him, given he's out of form and has never been one of his favourites. I suppose the goal against Villa helped. His chance today was the closest we got, but he's essentially playing off the striker now rather than running games from midfield like before. It's...
Bissouma was awful before AFCON and has carried on as per. Sarr had a shocker today but has been fine. Hate seeing these two lumped together as if they're somehow symbiotic.
Love his work but this was disastrous from him today. That 10 min patch between 2 and 3-0 when they were still running us off the park and we looked dreadful and he did nothing. As much at fault as anyone today.
Frustrating, but it has only been a few weeks. He has a top mentality, he won't want to miss the Euro's. When he finds his touch, things will click. I just wish we had a reliable, fit back up AM, but time is needed for that.
Which is a big part of the reason why we need depth suited to the system though. At City, Guardiola realised early that Phillips just didn't fit in. When he had an injury, he'd play any combination of Lewis at 18 y/o, or Silva dropping deeper, or Nunes after he arrived. When we have an injury...
Its almost as if having very quick defenders and a class keeper are part of the plan, and we're shit when we have to play slow ones? As for poor finishing - if our forwards could finish we'd be winning games 3-2 rather than losing 2-1. Its not a one-side thing, nor to be honest is it overly...
What do you mean?
Vicario, van de Ven, Udogie, Johnson and Maddison all arrived this season. Porro six months earlier. Sarr, Bissouma and Richarlison beginning of last year but none were playing. Kulusevski and Bentancur were six months earlier. Never mind the fact that the manager they joined...
