    Injury Updates

    Yeah I agree. They provide more width when played that way. And I'd rather have Bernardo in the middle now than David Silva, in the big matches.

    Var debate 2019/20

    Video replays exist in multiple sports and I'm with you in the sense that they've taken some of the emotion out of the sport. You can't seem to celebrate goals immediately as you worry about them being chalked off. That was the argument against VAR and the opposing argument was that we would...

    Premier League (New Years) Games 1/2 Jan

    How does he keep getting jobs at the top flight? Ins surprised managers like him, Alan Curbishley and Big Sam keep getting top flight jobs while accomplishing nothing in most of their jobs.

    Injury Updates

    The league is gone but Laporte and Sané can make a big difference when it comes to the champions league. The entire team would look different and its confidence could be given a huge boost with those 2 coming. It still seems like a long shot, but I do believe that this team is among the...

    Yeah we need to be careful with him. There's no rush yet. Manage him properly and let him work to fitness by the time the 2nd leg of the round of 16 comes around.

    Premier League (New Years) Games 1/2 Jan

    Yes, that's the difference in the title race. That must be why Liverpool have the title sealed by Christmas. Not because Pep has been screwing the pooch when it comes to his awful line-ups or the brain dead mistakes our defenders keep making. Yuuuuggggggeeeee conspiracy.

    Is Pep the greatest?

    I think he has already come in at 5th place in the all time list released by L'equipe or 442, of the 100 greatest managers ever. And he's not done yet. He needs to put City back on top though because the next year or two will go a long way in shaping his legacy. If he conquers Klopp and...

    Is Pep the greatest?

    Inaccurate. Liverpool spent the most during the 90s and there were plenty if seasons in which Ferguson was outspent. By Blackburn. By Newcastle. By liverpool. You name it. When Mourinho came, he spent 3 times as much, net and gross, and it was Ferguson who eventually outdueled him. The...

    Is Pep the greatest?

    I completely agree with you. But that has nothing to do with his point. All he was saying was that Guardiola has been disappointing in Europe since Barcelona. That isn't even slightly controversial. I think Pep would agree. But as you said, only an idiot discards what he has done domestically...

    Is Pep the greatest?

    As long as he's in charge of a contending team, he has a good chance of winning. Sometimes, you lose in the UCL because of bad luck since it's a 2 legged tie. Bayern outplayed Atletico in 2016 and would have gone on to win 99 times out of 100 had the tie been repeated. Missed penalties. Posts...

    VAR impact and consequence log - game 27

    Yup. That makes sense. Enormous conspiracy.

    A breakdown of what has gone wrong (and why we’ll be back)

    I dont think 1 off season is a barren spell. If thatd what you meant by mentioning Blackburn and arsenal. Neither team won consecutive titles and United never went more than a season without winning the title until 2005, when Chelsea were at a different level financially. I agree with your point...

    Guardiola rules out any January signings.

    Just saw these examples. You're right about Ronaldo. And that backs up what you're saying. He left a better team for Madrid. Having said that, he has always stated that his mother's dream was for him to play for Madrid. If true, that would put that move in context. Bale and Modric were in a...

    Guardiola rules out any January signings.

    Yeah it's got to be one or the other. I'm in the camp that thinks that a few essential additions are all the club needs. It's never as drastic as most people think.

    Guardiola rules out any January signings.

    Yeah but I'm not even sure Barcelona is considered a more prestigious club historically than Liverpool. Madrid is a different case altogether as they're in the top tier by themselves. I'm not completely sure there's that much of a difference between Barcelona and liverpool, historically...

    Premier League Games 28/29 Dec

    You're right but I would compare our situation to the rest of the 18. Liverpool and City are clearly heads and shoulders above everyone else and while everyone else is competing for 3rd place and would be happy with it, I'd say that theres a competition between the top 2 and coming second is...

    Yes, 2nd. That's what the team strives for.

    Should we prioritise Champions League now?

    If Laporte is back by then and up to full fitness, things will look different. At the moment, the team is a mess defensively. But having your best defender there gives the entire defense a different look.

    Guardiola rules out any January signings.

    I think that Barcelona and Madrid don't have the same allure that they used to. City and Liverpool have superceded both at the top on the pitch. I'm not sure commercial appeal or prestige matter that much when the current top 2 in England are leaps and bounds ahead of them. If Madrid came for...

    A breakdown of what has gone wrong (and why we’ll be back)

    Kompany was around last season so there wasn't a pressing need to get a CB, in the eyes of Pep. Maybe he was hoping for Stones to come back from his injury woes and be that partner for Laporte but it hasn't quite worked out for him. I'm almost certain they'll get a proper world class CB to...
