Yeah, my screen jumped to your comment and I though it was Guido 🇺🇦 throwing out a nonsequitur to throw me off the scent.?
I must have missed something.
I guess he has made it, it is just a bit of a mystery how.He always has an exasperated/sad expression. Not gonna make it.
Under McDermott our academy absolutely had an identity as a possession based team, starting with building up from defense then ball progressed through the thirds.Fair enough but if you subtract the Poch years then what was our identity previous? I was there and saw it but would like it distilled for me.
What's this got to do with getting the band back together at HW?
Yep. Getting top 4 again under ole & most likely runners up. How awful for them.United are so well set up for teams that go at them.
They don't have much creativity to break down teams but they have blistering pace and are a very athletic and aggressive team off the ball.
We were never catching united. Leicester was bad. But Liverpool & Woolwich results good.This result doesn't change much for us. It's that Leicester winner that really fucked us
Ok, but no one buys STs for the academy nor does any broadcaster reach deep down in their pockets to show said games. How did it affect our first team in that time? And again, I'm asking as justification for bringing those folks back.Under McDermott our academy absolutely had an identity as a possession based team, starting with building up from defense then ball progressed through the thirds.
OK, but the implication here is that the academy was responsible for our play during the Poch years. But that success had few academy players and would also more likely to be attributed to our press and intensity. Sure, we did have our possession moments but that was often after we strangled a team into submission with the other things.It’s not a Barca thing, as individual development came above everything including the actual style. But the best marriage between academy and first team was under Poch, better fit than say Redknapp.
They would if they weren’t top.City likely going to get nothing today, but I don't think they'll be looking back at this season lamenting their tactics/style once it's all over...
Zaha hatrick....Look at the pattern of today.
No winner from a hone team and 0-0, 0-1, 0-2...
I hate such patterns..
Schooled is a strong word. City clearly need a striker. Basically, his big players turn up and play better in these games. Also helps if you have Anthony-made-of-glass-Martial being pulled down in the box in the first two minutes. If City had a proper CF, they’d have won.I wouldn’t look much into this, but surely OGS is not a better manager than Pep Guardiola? A few times now he’s schooled Pep & Klopp.
