Pace doesn’t magically come back I watched the game yesterday Walker has his pace back but was also I’d say man of the match defensively assured and looked like the old Walker. Playing with a smile and trying his hardest. Did the simple things well and was running up to support attacks. He looked completely different to what we’ve seen this season

Makes me wonder have some of the players here lost trust in Pep.

Great servant but he’s gone. He was captain and he walked away mid-season. If he’s all smiles now good for him.

Nunes has been shocking as a RB.

Hes a puzzle full stop

Captain and ask to leave mid season whilst we were struggling for numbers and form.
He’s a twat I’m afraid and I hope the smile becomes a grimace

Nunes has been shocking as a City player.

 

[Dave El Magico]

Nunes won't be an issue against Madrid. Yes he can't defend but he's quick, and we've played a RB against them like that for years successfully

Really? Agree he can’t defend and in the game yesterday, he gave the ball away in the opponents half and virtually walked back leaving Silva to get back and defend! Might be quick when he fancies it, but for me lazy.

 

[Keeper!]

I've been to a few Serie A games and I'm absolutely convinced I would have had no problem playing in it when I was younger. The level of football is dire.

Juve needed the money this month and thought they’d chance their arm. Think it happens in the summer

last day of summer transfer window im looking forward to it

He cost us goals in almost every game he played this season and his famous pace had gone. He wasn't first choice but yes seems pissed off he wanted and got a move, probably because as bad as he was in the end he was an experienced right back, probably our only one.

Kovacic, Nunes, Khusanov, Foden, Stones, Akanji, Gvardiol, KDB, Gundog & Silva have all cost us goals recently. Our current issues aren't Kyle Walker specific.

These were problems waiting to happen because of our very poor squad succession planning & Pep currently setting our formation for the squad we'd have if everyone was fit & available, instead of setting us up for the patched up squad we actually have.

Nunes would be an issue against their under 7s girls ffs.

I think the squad is in urgent need of a rest, reset & a major refresh, rather than players losing trust in Pep.

Pep & the squad are obviously frustrated with our season, but because we were caught sleeping with our squad succession planning, there's little to fuck all anyone can do about it.

As for Walker, he may well prove a change is as good as a rest. This is why there was an uptick in optimism at the Etihad when Khusanov & Moose started against Chelsea, with Reis on the bench. That's what a change can do for everyone's psyche.

 

[DenisLawBackHeel74]

I guess we're planning on covering the RB position with a combination of Lewis, Nunes, Akanji and/or one of the new CBs.

What could go wrong…

they cant cross the ball at byline ?

 

[blueparrot]

they cant cross the ball at byline ?

It's not really how we use full backs though, more likey to play an inverted right back role. Wouldn't be surprised to see us try Reis in that role for the Orient game.

 

[pavelsrnicek]

they cant cross the ball at byline ?

Nunes annoyed me a lot yesterday and against Brugge, got into decent crossing positions and stopped and passed back repeatedly or delivered a really poor cross. He is not good enough defensively or in attack and I can’t wait to see the back of him.

I think we'd struggle to generate anything above mediocre if all 3 were morphed into one.

said this before richard edgehill at rb maine road he set off running down wing whole kippax go on lad passed ball edge of their box strike lost the ball whoever we was playing broke into position he'd vacated goal ........... where the F""k is edgehill was collective roar

 

[Scott mcfc]

if we dont get a rb idd rather us just play kusanov there,at least hes fast and not shy of a tackel,better than nunez just gettin skinned in my opinion

Alternatively, Reis may not have the pace of Khusanov but he's a far more cultured footballer. I'd be amazed if Pep doesn't try both of them there.

 

[Dax777]

Ben Jacob’s has confirmed this one isn’t happening today. If it does would be the summer.

So nunes right back for the rest of the season incoming.

Good!
