Clueless..? An 18 Yr old blue who's played rb since he was 8, captained City and England from that position and is trusted by Pep to play a role that most experienced players would struggle with and hasn't put a foot wrong. Give your head a wobble you senile clueless twat.Great in midfield, clueless at RB.
Sums our fanbase up. He’s just turned 18 mate and he could become a City regular if he keeps improving. What an awful take.Great in midfield, clueless at RB.
I’d have probably subbed him for Walker when we were chasing the winner. Did nothing wrong again though. Just a bit odd playian inverted fullback and a centre back at left back with 2 wingers who lack pace and constantly have to cut inside
Correct but the ball got turned over so quickly that he was half way up the pitchI was under the impression he went into midfield when we were in posession and at right back when we didnt?
Definitely the wrong word, probably that bucketful of Guinness and quite a few Jameson's last night. I think the young man is a gem, love his tenacity in midfield, something I think has been missing for a while, not forgetting v Leeds I said he brought that little piece of Billy Bremner out, a little dynamo. Starter for me, any time, don't know if Pep's thoughts are for him to be full-back, but for me at this moment, I'd love him to concentrate in the middle of the park.Clueless..?

Much of Pep's thinking and decision making is currently odd.
He played quite a bit better than some of his more experienced teammates, not sure why there was "no need for him".No need for him yesterday. He played well but a game too much for him in such an important game.
He did play well but Gundy was needed in my opinionHe played quite a bit better than some of his more experienced teammates, not sure why there was "no need for him".
I don't recall Gundy playing much at right back.He did play well but Gundy was needed in my opinion
He has done really well in these three games but I think it's time to take him out of the side now and get Walker back in. Rico will be better when he comes back into the team later as he will find it easier because of this experience.Just to be clear, in case people dont understand why Pep plays inverted fullbacks.
Traditionally teams (and Pep has done this alot) tilt their back 4 over and have the fullback wide and winger inside. 4231 becoming a 3241 that Pep attacks in.
But this means when countered the fullback is far away from his position he occupies the winger spot, and has to run more distance.
But if you invert the fullback from a 4141 and still attack in the same 3241, if countered you have less distance to run back to. Its just less distance to cover while still attacking the same way he prefers.
I think you accidentally replied to me?He has done really well in these three games but I think it's time to take him out of the side now and get Walker back in. Rico will be better when he comes back into the team later as he will find it easier because of this experience.
