No, he still has his finishing, but we were basically playing with 10 players on the pitch outside of the final third, that's just an untenable situation.So you’re going to ignore his actual contributions?
He was not himself. No question about it. I just think you can’t ignore his output
Hope we got a good price. OTT price hopefully. 50m.Apparently Dier's joined the Saudi League...
He's joining Ronaldo...Hope we got a good price. OTT price hopefully. 50m.
Ill be in the trenches fighting Anges corner whilst youll be calling him a dinosaur and begging Levy to sack him by february next year and thats an absolute fucking fact
If we got a decent fee we should go and get Tapsoba. That keeper needs top centre halves in front of himHope we got a good price. OTT price hopefully. 50m.
Strikers top of the agenda atm imo. Ferguson and orban. Then tapsoba and eze. Sell richarlison. + kane cash. That will acquire those 4 playersIf we got a decent fee we should go and get Tapsoba. That keeper needs top centre halves in front of him
Ok. The xG if you take away the penalty was pretty much identical, in fact they edge it. They created the best open play chance of the game (a missed open goal!!!) and had several other half-chances, same as us.
We dominated possession because that's how we play. And yes, Emerson's goal is a worldie. He doesn't score from 0.03 xG on a regular basis.
The penalty is soft but pretty much by the rules these days, the ankle is caught and that makes it a penalty.
It was a close game, we weren't a "Lot better" by any stretch, this is emotion/tribalism clouding reality completely.
....fair enough fellaYeah, if they drop off In performance like they did today.
Play his way and to his standards and the results will take care of themselves.
If you play to his philosophy, you will BLOW teams away. Even city.
From what I saw today you are miles off where he wants to be but you can see where it’s headed.
Give him time and all other football will look slow, cumbersome and old fashioned.
TRUST THE PROCESS
He would be Ok playing against counter attacking teams because he has speed and he can mostly defend that. As soon as he plays against teams who play attacking football, he is a liability. He is clumsy. Not good at reading a game as well. He has shown over the past 4 seasons, he is not good enough.He was good enough to be a back up.
I can’t think of a clear error.
Def have faith that Sonny will improve but he did look like a 40 yr old winger out there today.Those of you digging out Son - he's the club captain now, so I would put more faith in Ange's opinion than yours. You'll be seeing a lot of Son playing this season.
Sorry Mick, Nothing against Sanchez. If you rate him, Great. My preconceived ideas were formulated over the past 4 years. Now he has 1 game in which he is average, you believe he is good enough.If you didn't have your preconceived bias against the guy and he was called Franz Carlos, you would have been screaming for him being a starter.
Swallow your pride and admit the guy had a good game

He’s still running our football recruitment.
