It's Quiet 18 - Wanna ring the bell?

I can’t deny that Kalvin has had a poor first season, but his demeanour and attitude had been spot on. The fact that he wants to battle to do better is “screwing City”? Fucking pillock (you not him)

Spot on. Some right clowns about.

Chiesa supposedly on the market.

I was rewatching the final few minutes of Saturday, when Foden makes a slide tackle right in front of our bench all you see is Phillips jump up and basically cheer it. Loved it

This is the thing.

Stones was having a bad patch, still played him.
Rodri struggled his first year, still played him.
Grealish struggled his first year, still played him.
Mahrez form can be inconsistent, still plays more than KP.

Only players than you can compare Phillips minutes to/importance to the team are Gomez who is going, Palmer a academy grad and Perrone a Jan signing and prospect.

Something not quite right in my opinion.

Completely different the DM ,especially before the Stones hybrid thing, is the most important position in any Pep team. There is only one so unlike a cb or a forward or even an attacking midfielder there no players a new player can bed in with.
There was no way Phillips was going to play on his own there after the world cup when every game was a must win.
Pep explained why , wasn’t ability it was understanding the position and believing in himself.can he do it I don’t know but Pep will either believe in him still to give him the pre season and maybe the Community shield and super cup, or he won’t and he’ll be honest with Phillips and advise him to move on.
No way we can know which way it will go until it happens.

Why would he? The curse was lifted, he wished us goodluck!!!

Well we Did finally win the CL!

Phillips attitude has been Absalutely 1st class, he has tasted the best 10 months of football he ever will & 100% deserves to give it another season

Remember he had that shoulder operation which fucked him for nearly 3 months

I agree he should stay

 

[Tb1981]

Only thing that surprises me with that above is they discussed anything to do with football on H & J. They normally bring some band in who know one has heard of to discuss their album or interview some unknown actor in theatre play that’s just opened. The worst show on radio.

Mid afternoon filler
Boeing as hell

Wasn't Pep playing Eric Garcia before Stones until he wanted to go back to Barca.

1 position he just doesn't like to fuck about to much is HM

Fernandinio was so good, Rodri had to wait especially after a first shite season
Rodders just clicked in his 2nd season, infact he was that good Dino hardly played
Rodri became No 1 on the teambsheet imo especially after Peps outburst post Spurs game

Garcia was fookin rubbish, how he played the minutes he did was a mystery

Never said he wasnt

Tbf Stones had turned his private life into a raging skip fire and wasn’t mentally fit to play as he had a lot of family issues to deal with. Fair fucks to him for coming back from all that, though must also have been a big wake up call for him

To play as sole DM for us you have to come and show for the ball off Eddie or the centre backs, when he started vs saints he hid behind their midfields and never came for the ball under pressure. Think pep saw that and wasn’t impressed imho

Just fascinating how the media are not saying or reporting how can they be looking to buy more players when they sold no one and still have 35 first team players!

Like I say Fair Do’s

 

[Sir peace frog]

It's easy to understand :)

If we have 60 games and 3 players for two positions, each of the players can start 40 games.

Also, given that Stones is going to rotate with Akanji and Dias at CB, Rice could start 40 games even if Rodri and Stones start each more than 40 games. That is, many minutes/starts will be available for Rice if we sign him.

Haha

Anyone hear the Guardian's 'Manchester' football correspondent on H & J earlier. He was supposedly on to talk about the latest transfer news from a 'Manchester' perspective. Strange then that he spent the whole 15 mins talking about a team from Trafford without a single mention of their more successful Manchester neighbours.

I didn't listen but know it will be that red loving dickhead Jamie Paradise.

Big Sam did a podcast with Natalie Pike last week, think Sherwood was the other guest.

Pike asks who will Declan Rice play for next season, Sherwood says Arsenal, Big Sam then out of nowhere says Man City. He always has his ear on the ground for these things. Has lots of contacts in the game.

Could be something in this…

This is the vid I saw. Was a few days ago when only Arsenal were being mentioned.

I keep hearing this on here but have no idea what was actually going on, had he split from his missus or something?
