they shouldnt be playing in midfield together fullstop- neither defend very wellNeeded taking off , constantly giving the ball away and halting our attacks
Easy in hindsight but you can’t play him and Reijnders in midfield against a hardworking three that Spurs played
that midfield balance is going to have to be addressed even with Rodri back in the team

Yes, Guardiola famously hates players who play between the lines.Yep. Finally started playing inbetween the lines plays one perfect through ball and pep is like "none of that on my watch".

sorry but that is rubbishTold to stop taking people on, stop the tricks, stop having fun, and subsequently looked lost.
This version seems to.Yes, Guardiola famously hates players who play between the lines.
Of course it is. We see it but we don't believe it. I get it. But all evidence of the last 17 months says otherwise.sorry but that is rubbish

- Most tackles in the team(4)
- Only midfielder with an interception
- More touches than Reijnders despite playing 40 mins less
Like Kev, he loses the ball often as a cost of being so creative. Take that away and you might as well play a midfield of Rico Lewis'.
Just another football freestyler, who is physically nor mentally suitable to play a team game and follow instructions. Glimpses of brilliance, but the reality is oodles of costly mediocrity. He's not alone, the squad is full of them. We're fecked!

Why did we buy him then if Pep doesn't like this type of player? It will take a while for the signings to bed in.Is that pep this pep? People change. Philosophies change.

It's a great question. I have no idea how that process works. Do you? Genuine question.Why did we buy him then if Pep doesn't like this type of player? It will take a while for the signings to bed in.

Stop doubting the greatest manager to ever have existed. Why the hate towards him? If he didn't win another game he has still been out of this world for CityIt's a great question. I have no idea how that process works. Do you? Genuine question.
I don't hate him. I don't hate footballers or football managers .. other than those who play in red!Stop doubting the greatest manager to ever have existed. Why the hate towards him? If he didn't win another game he has still been out of this world for City
He and the players from 2017-2024 were incredible. But like we let Kev go we have to let managers go. He didn't do it by himself.

Sorry but don't agree. The moment we lose a few games you want him out that's fucking mental.I don't hate him. I don't hate footballers or football managers .. other than those who play in red!

I'm not saying don't play cherki- Most tackles in the team(4)
- Only midfielder with an interception
- More touches than Reijnders despite playing 40 mins less

I'm saying the balance isn't there when you play him and reijnders centrally. He also does not appear to be a player who we would want outwide
