Every season, at critical moments when it starts to count most we fail to deliver. Playing against teams with 10 men behind the ball we have an abundance of possession with no reward, no bite, no meaningful goal to reward it.
Guardiola once said when asked about this type of football that...
Anyone seen much of Alphonso Davies, a 16yr old Canadian kid who plays for the Whitecaps in the MLS..? For a 16 year old he certainly seems to have power, pace and some skills. Although he plays in the MLS, one could still see he has some quality, considering he's playing against men and still...
Clearly, for 2 seasons in a row now we have come up short. And by short I mean noticeably short. Anyone who thinks we are close to CFC and the rest of the big spenders needs a reality check.
Their squads are far more superior than ours. They have the money to spend on quality players to sit on...
Wow, surprised no one has mentioned him leaving. I for one will always remember his game against Chelsea as one of the best attacking & entertaining games I've seen in a long time and he was absolutely immense in that game! In fact so much so that Jose singled him out for praise after the game...
I recall reading that the club have requested The FA assist them with our construction progress by allowing the end of next seasons games to be played away from home. So I just hope our games aren't difficult away games as a result. Preferably 2 newly promoted teams please if possible...
After watching Hugo for France, Davies for Wales and our boys for England, I thought every one of them did a good job so far in representing their respective national teams.
I don't think any of them played below par in their 1st game - although its a bad result for England when you consider it...
Just saw a stat on us;
Ranked #1 20pts Dropped - from winning position
Wasnt it only last year that we had pretty much the opposite? Most points won from coming behind..?
Wierd. I wonder why that is?
Bentaleb (clearly out of favour)
Carroll
N'Jie (harsh but I don't see what he offers- Not goals or assists...)
Chadli (I don't think he fits into the Poch vision of what our players need to be) See Lamela for eg of what needed to happen with Chadli. Has scored a lot of goals but its possibly...
This is clearly the most crucial part of the season now that we are close to the top and close to the end of the season, so how do you keep the players feeling rested, fresh and energetic for these last 8 games?
I would personally not bother with the Europa game against Dortmund on Thursday and...
Theres a lot of people venting feelings about certain players playing that shouldn't be, others that aren't that should be and those that are out injured, that may be the one or some of the reasons why we havent won lately or more consistently. But I think when our chances are analyzed it should...
Just wanted to ask what everyone thought abut the CDM position, knowing we desperately tried to get one in last summer and when we failed we promoted Dier to this position. Does anyone feel we will try to get another one in at some point in the future? Or do you think this will become Dier's...
Not sure if anyone caught an interview that was done with Pep a while ago (maybe during his sabbatical and cant recall if it was on TV or just an article I read), but it stuck with me and have basically tried to imagine/hope/wish that we aspire to playing that way of thinking he has.
During...
As soon as Man Utd scored their 1st goal I asked why we don't practice how to take creative free-kicks like that too. Its something we're abysmal at and only hope for Christian to come up with something special but it was more significant when I read this comment from LVG afterwards.
"“I am...
Do you think his opinions of him have taken a big hit now, knowing that it was clear we needed a DM and another CF and these 2 couldn't be brought in?
I would like to know people feelings on whether this may have negative repercussions on what happens at the end of the season if we don't...
I don't understand how we can so easily allow a player like Paulinho leave for a near 7M loss, yet we don't seem to allow worse players leave easier.
What is the logic in allowing the sale of a player that still has ability and potential for a 50%+ loss without so much as a bat of an eyelid, yet...
