You say Kompany was relentless, and while he ended the season well with a good run of games - he only played four games for us between 1st September to 27th February.
I meant verbally.

Thats why the dippers are on fire right now because they're streets ahead of anyone in terms of fitness, coaching and understanding tactics. For some annoying reason they seem to have players who are happy to come back early pre season and get down to business. Players like Merlin, Aguero and Fern have to be eased in gradually which is why we tend to be slow starters. Trouble is, by the time we come good again the dippers lead may be too much to pull back. Of course the glimmer of hope is that we have Pep the worlds greatest coach and the master of creating new systems to win games. If can manage to hang on the scums coat tails until Eric come s back you just never know.Totally agree about pre season.
Before writing off our press, it is worth just looking at how good Norwich were
That's football we would be proud of.
the second one is one I mentioned in my post in this thread. It's as good as we ever did that. I was stunned how good they were.
Not sure David Silva and Gundogan are capable of a high press, KDB to me still looks a little off the pace and Bernardo has not yet come back off his holidays, added to Rodri getting up to speed in the Premiership.

I think the key strength that we are missing is Fernandinho's tactical foul.
