Player Watch Player Watch: Giovani Lo Celso

[Riandor]

Just got a yellow for putting in a tenacious (but for me fair) challenge. Like that!

 

[ardiles]

Now Foyth gets a yellow.

 

[Riandor]

Ooops, Foyth with two silly fouls in quick succession . Showing his silly side.

Now Foyth gets a yellow.

Trademark Foyth that

(I really rate him though)

 

[Timberwolf]

Foyth always seems to look either the best or the worst player on the pitch. Often at the same time.

My opinion after watching Lo Celso this afternoon is that he is definitely a player we should go for. He played on the left side if a 433 and was very good at quick interchanging passes to unlock in good areas going forward. What I do like is that he was disciplined in keeping his shape and does his fair share of defensive work. He picked up a yellow in the first half with a tenacious tackle to reinforce my point. Is he an Eriksen type player? No, however, he is a player who will be suited to the premier league and players like Son, Alli, Moura, Kane, they will enjoy playing with him.

He comes across somewhat like a non injured Lamela

 

[Living Legend Colm G]

He just got a yellow

Hopefully he gets a blue so POTL can finally come back like a Don.

 

[pauljonah]

He has just gone off after 55 minutes, a tactical change.

That all?

Forget the fancy flicks and the deft touches, it was the challenge that brought him a yellow card that got me off my seat.

Eriksen would never.

Shame we’re letting Llorente go. He got me off my seat constantly...


...and directly out of the stadium.

 

[werty]

It was a pretty timid challenge.

Sorry, just can’t picture that at all...

Like your thinking, mate, but you conveniently left out a few...

Up front:
Kane (always misses parts of the season with ankle problems), Llorente & Janssen vs Agüero & Jesus

Attacking line/forward positions:
Son & Lucas vs Sterling, Sané & Mahrez

Midfield/attacking midfield/mixed positions:
Dele, Eriksen, Lamela, Winks, Skipp & Amos (lost last season to injury) vs. D. Silva, B. Silva , De Bruyne, Foden, Zinchenko

Central/Defensive midfield:
Dier, Sissoko & Wanyama (knee problems) vs. Fernandinho (getting older), Gündogan

We might have the numbers, but objectively we´re behind in quality. The season before last, Kevin De Bruyne was the outstanding player of the year: last season he played a full 90 minutes four times in the league. Four times. And they still won it. Take Eriksen or Kane out for the entire season for us: we would´ve had problems qualifying for the Euro League.

When all are fit and in top form, we are close to match their starting 11 - and in some postions we have the better players. But we´re lacking 2-3-4 top quality players to actually match their squad in midfield and attack. To put my point in perspective: who of our players would realistically get a lot of playing time in Guardiola´s City? I´d say Kane, Son, Dele and Eriksen - that´s it. And the latter two would fight for minutes with the two Silva´s and KDB - they wouldn´t get 30-something starts.

In other words: we NEED to get in a GLC-level player (or two), plus a young top notch talent (e.g. Clarke) as well as a N´Dombele.

If we are to change gears and start really competing with the very elite, we would keep our very best (type Kane, Dele, Eriksen, Son), keep our second best (Lucas, Winks, Dier, Sissoko), sort out the injury problems or replace potentially very good players (Wanyama, Lamela) and then add some real quality.

you forgot to put in brackets that Aguero and Jesus miss time to injuries, just like lots of players do. Kane was injured v Sunderland, when he returned he got injured v Millwall. 2 years later Kane got injured v Man U, then v Man C. what other injuries has he had since he broke into our 1st team

One thing I've learned recently. No matter how fucked up I think things have got, I doubt very much whether they'll be as fucked up as @doctor stefan Freud

I think he's got lidl disease, the only person I know that goes to the supermarket to buy 1 slice of bread a day. something tells me he is distracted by the cashier in there
