It's Quiet thread 14 - 'do one' edition

That too, among other things. I'm one of those who rates Mendy higher than most and believe he needed plenty of time to recover as fully as possible from those injuries, physically and mentally, but he has shortcomings that persist so we need an option that improves us defensively.

Well I think that just having another left back is so important. We cannot rely on mendy for every game and zinchenko isn’t a left back so it makes our team a lot stronger i believe

True or not, your daily reminder that Garcia should never play for City again

We could do with rapid. Certainly need someone faster than Mendy as an LB option.

A dustbin full to the brim without any wheels is faster than him.

One thing that gave me encouragement about him last night was his conviction into tackles maybe your right he needs more time more games to get up to speed bit like stones but he gets injured again.

I'd be happy with a left-back which could just defend.

We haven't had a left back that could defend since... erm.....??? Ermmmm since thingy, what's his name? That left back we had?

 

[KennyG]

Can’t believe we won’t address the striker situation. Roll on 21/22 season, already.

I'd have been pissed off if he had been in squad last night,thankfully he wasn't,same applies for Saturday as well for me.

Get him gone

Any chance of some cat food? #Felix

 

[Ric]

Good shout! Would you have him on a free?

Absolutely! He'll only be 29 next summer.

Is 3-5-2 not the answer to our left back situation. Wing backs with less defensive duties, walker stepping in to the back 3 to become a 4 when required or making up numbers in defensive midfield (as he has limited final ball). This leaves us with plenty of numbers in midfield and upfront to hopefully suffocate the opponent but still have adequate cover at the back (now have Dias and Ake).
something needs to change as were a little predictable at present

Don't think he'll play for us again. Notice who's not included with Pep talking about the centre back options last night -

 

[Thaksinssoldier]

Pep’s quotes on the defense last night say that Garcia is gone or he now doesn’t want him.
Mentioned how young our defense is and listed all of them, even Bellis, except Garcia.

If we were going to play 343/352 regularly I would have hoped we would have kept Angelino.

That's even better the fact he ain't mentioned then,just a case of getting half decent money for him now I suppose

Well, we've already got the sheikh. Just need a vac to go with it.

Not sure we should be so sensitive about this. It's his boyhood club in his home country. Plus, we have brought in two big signings in his position. If he wants to move then fair enough, as long as he continues to behave like a professional, then fair enough. The fact tha Pep has played him suggests his behaviour has been good.

I am sure some players who have signed for us pressured their previous clubs to leave. Mahrez being a recent case.

Is that a Pledge?

Perhaps, but I reckon probably easier to shift Angelina than Mendy, for obvious reasons.
