There were 10 men in their box at times. Compact and well disciplined. Not particularly interested in engaging us out wide but with enough on the near side to block the low cross. We had little option but to put high lobs and crosses in. The only way to get back in the game was to let them have more ball and create more space. We never attempted it.
He would be an interesting choice anyway we have a big few months coming up.
The Southampton performance was excellent apart from our inability to put the ball in the net. The players put in a real shift even though we lost. The Bournemouth game and yesterday showed the reason why we have dropped so many points this season. Even if Liverpool didn't have a freak season I doubt we would of got near them. The iffy Bournemouth performance should of given coaching staff the excuse to bollock the whole squad and stress the importance of the coming semi final. It didn't or it fell on death ears. Perform like that against Madrid and it's bye bye to CL as well.Time to bring back the positive thread. I’ll start. We’ll come good again no worries there at all. Come on city go out and beat Real
He would. We have potentially a big few months coming up but a display like yesterday in Europe and our season is over.
that was in responce to your **** in your post -I apolgise
I did sy that but Im unsure tbh - i think he could do a job for us but not as a main centre forward - if he is to be that then I would sell him - but if he was to play as part of a front 3 with another main striker I wouldnt
Ive just posted this on his thread about our best possible front 3 (baring injuries)
Jesus ------------Kun ---------Sterling
Silva------------------------KDB
Rodri
Back 4
Eddie
I dont expect him to do what you are suggesting but I expect him to pose a threat - I expect him when he recieves the ball from a bad back pass to at least turn towards goal and get a shot away - not lay it off -there is always one too many passes with him
I actually believe he is better on the left of a front 3 than the central stiker (Maybe the better way of putting it is part of a fluid front 3 but with someone else who is a better finisher/more f a goal scorer)- teams just dont fear GJ . They dont see him as a goal threat and its not suprising cause he isnt really. He is a very good foil for other people but at the moment he is nowhere near a lead the line type of striker.
Pep has clearly told him to retain possession - thats what Pep is about andits why he use to go mad at Sane.....BUT thats not the issue with Jesus. HIs ball retention is generally very good (though his control at times is poor) and his link up play excellent - but again he isnt a real goal threat.
I guess we will see but if he ends up main striker after Kun goes then I suspect we will hugely struggle unless we bring in another goal threat.
I wish Pep would not wear those ripped jeans on matchday really bugs me , sets the wrong tone, im sure it had something to do with the defeat,.
I know fella the chances of winning the CL are slim imho but after that we aren’t party to the internal discussions inside the club. I believe the hierarchy already know what Peps future is they are all too close to each other not to I believe.
Hahaha this has to be a wind up. Shocking jeans butI wish Pep would not wear those ripped jeans on matchday really bugs me , sets the wrong tone, im sure it had something to do with the defeat,.

We’re arguably still the best team around on our day. We do lack consistency and concentration this season, though, to the extent that hitting top form in (potentially) 3 CL games is a big ask. If we don’t, we’ll get ripped apart and end up with a single Micky Mouse trophy for the season’s efforts. Not a disaster but not impressive either, given our resources.
My worry is that we’ll fart-arse about in the last two league matches but be arrogant enough to think we’ll come good for the CL. Unlike most, I think we should go for it against Watford and Norwich and put last night’s half-hearted effort behind us. That means not changing half the team and not starting a bunch of players who are unlikely to make the final cut. I’d possibly make KDB an exception as a short break might benefit him.
There aren't many elite managers out there but I think Nuno the Wolves manager may be decent here. Arteta is proving his worth at Arsenal but would he leave?
i thought he had been doing a bit of decorating.I totally agree with this. He is the face of a massive club and football organisation. You can dress casually and be smart. At present his attire does not give a good impression.

Dressing in a club blazer and grey slacks like Ron Manager wouldn’t even begin address the issues behind that performance
Isn’t Poch still available?

You read correctly!!Did I read that correctly, are you saying Aguero isn't a natural finisher?
Chill!!!aguero not a natural finisher? Literally heard it all now. Who’s a natural finisher if Aguero isn’t?
