Savinho looked pretty good first half apart from the final ball (yet again). Either he j6st can't pick players out or there aren't enough of them there. I guess it's a mixture 0f both.Doubt we’ll ever see Rico Lewis or Savinho in a city shirt ever again. Utterly dreadful
It won't be long before VAR is AI controlled. Pre programmed of course..VAR is the perfect tool to manipulate the league / TV narrative etc... there is clearly genuine dislike for us and it was a perfect last kick in the balls to Pep that offside / non offside goal BUT when the TV want their dollars they can manipulate in our favor, this added added injury time think where in 'some games' their nearly a 1/4 of an hour added - depending on what the TV companies need to make their 'product' interesting! I'm sure that's what happened v Everton.. the added added time through gritted teeth no doubt - probably contrived fr money purposes - eek out the league etc... I feel TV run the game and its only going to get worse..
Savinho was our most threatening forward. No contest.Doubt we’ll ever see Rico Lewis or Savinho in a city shirt ever again. Utterly dreadful
How many of those players were 'turn key' when they signed for us?Thank you for taking the time to express the above, it wasn't clear to me in the original post.
In response to the second paragraph - I've stated in other threads, that level of player isn't around currently (for me anyway). We have to try to find the best of what is out there.
I'm not sure what you'd classify as World Class talent currently
Look at the yams on Phil, they've given him a full on badonkadonk thereView attachment 193199
Bent to the last.
As far as I can concerned the Pep vs Fergie debate is over. Pep 20 trophies in 10 years, Fergie 38 in 26 (quite a lot of that 38 were worthless community shields as well). 4 in a row, better treble, 100 points, better football, more class. That is not forgeting how he change football and the trophies won at other clubs or the 2 champion league finals where he wiped the floor with Bacon Face.Most of Pep's achievements will never be bettered by our rivals. Even Fergusom didn't win 4 on the bounce.
They drew Mark Hughes backside on Foden to make it offside.View attachment 193199

That turn he did in the box was sublimeNumber 10 rico is decent. Just probably not decent enough.
Wasnt it. If cherki did that we'd be losing it.That turn he did in the box was sublime
Agree with you, the quality has dropped dramatically. That maybe because Pep 'could have been' all over the recruitment and scouting process in his first 7 years maybe - but that's tiring and i'm assuming he let that side drift a bit hence we ended up with the likes of Marmoush, Savinho and Reijnders etc..I think Semenyo power, strength etc, but there's little guile there..Doku is a proper find mind you... but we have got a lot wrong in last 3 - 4 windowsThank you for taking the time to express the above, it wasn't clear to me in the original post.

Take away the community shields and it’s 17 in 10 for Pep and 28 in 26 for Fergie.As far as I can concerned the Pep vs Fergie debate is over.

Spot on - nothing to be gained by winning today.Think the post match a activities took preference over the game, unfortunately.
He put them in positions you expect a forward to be..His cutbacks are always to nobody in particular, flatters to deceive
Everyone of them was a famous player but I have no idea which one it was before delphWho was the ex-player on the video tribute for Stones just before Delph. I didn't have a clue who it was - can anyone help?
