The reason pep doesn't want us to pass the ball too quick is because we don't have the legs in midfield for a highly transitional game. With the return of Rodri and the addition of Gonzalez, Reijnders, Ait Nouri and Livramento we have much more legs to deal with it. Add to that we'll hopefully see more of Khusanov as well who's one of the fastest players around at top speed.Why would someone like Bernardo always start or Foden never play through the middle - if they are not certain aspects Pep likes/ wants from his players?
People here defended Grealish for years that it was Pep who told him to keep the ball and that he was doing his job well. Now pep has no influence in whatsoever . He is the coach so to some sort they are playing how HE wants .
You can see it on the counter everytime. No other team would pass the ball back for the opposition to restructure. Can’t tell me Pep would allow this for months if that wasn’t the case.

As an aside, Mahrez comes from a dump of an area, Sarcelles, in the departement (equivalent to a county) in which I live.Even though I live in a more 'well to do' area, my local kebab shop has a framed signed Mahrez City shirt. Signing players like Cherki & Ait-Nouri will really heighten our profile here, which please me as - when I first arrived in 2000 - people didn't even know that City existed.

Extreme launch let’s go -:)

I've just got this feeling in my water that imminence is imminent.
I will be just fine with the Foden of 2023/24 season.Agreed. But I don't think he'll be the dynamic player we thought he'd be. He'll still be dynamic, just not in the context of what we (or I, anyway) thought. He excels in passing, shooting and movement now but when he first burst on the scene, I thought he'd be dribbling all over the gaff and showing off bits of skill to unlock defences.
If you pis yourself shortly let us all know as that would mean you`ve heard some positive news.I've just got this feeling in my water that imminence is imminent.
Same I remember him coming on as subLol I thought he was gonna be a star
