Yeah, would have been easy to miss that in amongst the many posts where you try to belittle a City poster on a City forum for having the temerity to point out some uncomfortable truths.
Uncomfortable truths? Okay mate, if you say so. Enjoy your evening.
Your injury stats. Nowhere near as bad as we're all sick of hearing.
I didn’t take anybody from City. You’re conflating my supposed views with LFC recruitment policy. I have no idea why we took him, perhaps we thought we could make something of him. Obviously that hasn’t panned out. Now your second sentence I can get behind. If I’m honest here, I expected one of the youth full backs to be able to step up. It’s been a problem area that’s had eye watering money committed to it but not once did a young full back look Iikely to bridge that gap. That’s not his fault but it seemed madness to spend that sort of money without having any kind of organic resource. Again, I’m not arsed about the money, spend what you want, but it just seems madness that there was nobody even half ready over a sustained period.
Have a good evening, mate, I enjoyed our discussion even if it wasn’t always plain sailing!
You are not looking close enough, there are players coming through but our first teams standards are very high so a lot of them are getting cup games. You have heard of Jadon Sancho? We also had Brahim Diaz who Real Madrid snapped up and Eric García who Barcelona want to snap up.
I’m aware of all those players. To use Sancho as an example, should he still be there? Should he have had more of an opportunity at first team level? And I know plenty have had dribs and drabs of the firsts but not for anything major on a regular basis. Of course the squad talent levels are ridiculously high but that’s no barrier to a fearless youngster - Foden proves that. There are players with much more experience than him, Jesus for example, but he’s left him behind now.
Are you trying to get the thread count up?
@Greggery Peccary have you got any thoughts on this data? Players able to play consistently with such a high tempo for two years flat with no injuries and then sudden breakdown and burnout suggests chemical assistance...
He did say so and your dismissive reply sums you up to a tee. You’ve been found out and not before time you supercilious ****.
Should Sancho still be here? Manchester United have had a £100 million bid turned down for, Gareth Southgate had given him 18 England caps. So in answer to your question yes he would, he is obviously a bit of a cock and wouldn’t wait and that is only reason not to have him back.
I’m not doubting that Sancho was hasty to scarper but could the club have given him more opportunities to do well? Great point about Foden, in total agreement, but they could have done the same with him and saved themselves all manner of cash? Of course there’ll be other factors we cant possibly quantify however they must be fuming to see how he’s eventually panned out. Incredible talent and would have been brilliant in your system.
Always nice to be mistaken for somebody else, do I owe you rent for the place I obviously occupy in your head?
Or like another team geographically close to us, we had three splendid years then suffered a big drop off in levels. That’s just the nature of top level football. But on the subject of supplements etc, every single elite club in the world uses them to as far as the law lets them. The margins are so fine that every little advantage will be eked out.
Not quite, old bean, just a fairly distinctive name. Obviously there’s someone else on here with that name, fair enough.
Do you know most of your team are asthmatic ?
If you can show me primary evidence source material to back that claim, fair enough. But please don’t tell me that you’re taking about this ham fisted, unsourced pile of shite
