Yep when teams used to sit off us under Mancini and Pellegrini we had peak Nasri, Silva and Toure who could hold it all day then break down a camped defence
Now we are void of ideas push it wide and cross it or hope for De Bruyne magic.
The tactics and players at the minute look like we should be set up 20 yards further back looking for space to break in to, rather than camped out in the opposition final third, all very strange
People under estimate the ball retention skills of Silva, Yaya and Nasri - they were excellent, they were patient and they would recycle it endlessly. At the moment we try to force it and give possession away too easily - causing many of our own problems.

you could argue we should have been doing this for the last 6 weeksFair points at the end there. We may have to be a bit ruthless but they're well paid and know the score. If Sunday's pathetic showing didn't wake up Pep, the players and management team, especially after last season, then nothing will.
In the real world, we are at capacity on foreign players in the squad at the moment (due to having 5 non club trained home grown players when the limited is 4, which means one uses up a foreign spot) - we are in a one in one out situation, and clearly we’re trying to ship out Zin for a left back. Tagliafico seems most likely at the moment. Thats the realistic part.
Aouar may prefer us to Arsenal, but we’d have to move another player on to bring him in - and that just isn’t realistic at this stage of the window given the wages we pay without caving to some ridiculous Sanchez loan to Inter type deal where we pay £200k a week for someone to play for another club.
We are a business, and our owners pride themselves on running us as such. All this chat about players like Mendy sitting in the stands collecting their wages for doing fuck all just isn’t realistic. Proper clubs just don’t treat their players like that - and aren’t that financially reckless.
Alaba - by all accounts - has no interest in coming to the PL. I really can’t understand why anyone is suggesting him as a serious option. Pini Zahavi is clearly playing his games at the moment, with a view to getting his client a better deal, but i don’t see any of the noise about Alaba coming from our club.
And you have absolutely no basis to claiming Dias wasn’t the player we had planned to sign. None. In fact, it seems we’ve been tracking him for a couple of years, and when his fee came down from the €100m release in his contract after Benfica got knocked out of the CL 2 weeks ago - we got him for a price we were willing to pay.
No basis?
So we didn’t accidentally put a reference to koulibaly in our website?
good point re mendy. We should play him every week now rather than let him be shit, financially it makes no difference...bit like him on the pitch!
I said loan out btw not sit in stands
as for alaba not wanting to come ‘by all accounts’ was koulibaly and kounde not our first picks ‘by all accounts’

If only we had 4 x Yaya's in midfield now we'd be laughing

Still puzzled why we need to offload Zinchenko. If the official site is correct we only have 16 foreign players. Am I missing something?
