Bet your bottom Dollar he will come back injured too, the way our luck is this seasonAt this rate Erling will be playing left back for the rest of the season
At least we will get him on the ball moreAt this rate Erling will be playing left back for the rest of the season
Nowt to do with Pep but there has definitely been a drop in truly great players in most positions during the last few yearswhat a load of nonsense. this whole ‘ooh we had ballers back in the day Pep has ruined football’ is entirely driven by nostalgia glasses

Judge the club as champions and four-peat winners: we are not far away at all, but have been decimated by injuries to key personnel in CDM and defensive roles, for the entire season. Even right now - Ake, Akanji, Stones, Gvardiol, and Rodri ALL injured. If that lot had an injury free year, this season, we would not be in anything like the position we are in.

Fucking hate internationals.
Sorry, i wasn’t on about City. I agree a couple of good signings in the right positions and we’ll be back challenging.I disagree.

I was talking about football in general. I think there’s been a big drop off as greats have retired or gone past their best. Can’t think of many truly great players at the moment across most positions.

If he's out that's our second best chance of a goal gone too. Incredible how many non scoring footballers we have accumulated,

This guy is a version of Cantelo, without the attitude.
Love him for his flair, goals and assists.
Hate him for his defensive lapses.
Or accept him as an unorthodox, non-defensively minded defender.

I like him. As long as peps being here we've been vunerable down that side. it doesn't seem too bother him for some reason.This guy is a version of Cantelo, without the attitude.

When Rodri was injured vs Arsenal we were top of the league and prior to the injury in that game we were very much on top. In the title-winning season, Rodri was critical to our performance level.I disagree.

There's more to City's current performance than injuries but it is a huge part of it.
That Alvarez kid looks useful as wellIt’s the system look at Argentina. All their CM keep scoring game after game
Rodri was the best player in the world without question and it's a huge loss but our form this season goes far deeper than losing him.When Rodri was injured vs Arsenal we were top of the league and prior to the injury in that game we were very much on top.

Manager, players,and execs have all dipped, the perfect storm and the drop off has been shocking.

Yes that's fair enough and we get away with it for the most part, it's against the elite we get found out.for all our success and it's being magnificent ,I think it's fair to say we left a champions league or 2 behind.Maybe winning six titles out of seven he’s happy to take the rough with the smooth
Massive point this. We had about seven players in double figures in 2020-21.If he's out that's our second best chance of a goal gone too. Incredible how many non scoring footballers we have accumulated,

Yea, you want your centre halves to win those headers but he did it all well and was calm and assured. We looked like we had a proper defence again, and o reilly gave us extra pace and directness at left back so it all worked out well. Hopefully we stumbled across something that works today but we'll seeWon every single header at CB, with O'reilly playing like this he should play in his natural position.
