Some proper shown there! For all the fancy stuff we’re known for, Dias and Haaland at both ends today we’re total beasts today! Haaland best all round game for us in my opinion today and Dias just makes us do much more solid.
We’re a mess.
That’s a shocking Spurs team we’ve lost to.
my observations….
Rodri’s worst game in ages. But least he doesn’t hide, he does look tired, but we seem to have no plan B if we need to rest him.
Lewis is class but he’s over played.
Akanji whilst quality and does nothing wrong...
We need a new LB agreed. Regardless of Cancelo staying or going, Ake is probably our starting LB anyway. Laporte has and can do a “job” there. I just don’t see us doing anything when we have 2 who can play there. It’s way above my skill set but it could allow Foden/Grealish to cheat a bit when...
Don’t think we’ll bring anyone in, it’s not how we do things. Ake and Laporte will fill the role until the summer. Stones is injured right now but we’re blessed with 5 brilliant CBs. Fortunately 2 of them can do a job as LB.
Needs sorting in the summer but for now we’ll find a way
Best Silva has looked in a while. He’s so important to us, we need 2 quality CMs this summer as he’s most likely off. Gundo and debruyne together leaves Rodri too exposed and neither are too interested in dropping deep to build up play.
Just goes to show fickle form is. Not too long ago Mahrez in the starting 11 was met with groans, now he seems a cert to start. Shame Dias is injured, last night just confirmed that him and Stones are our best CB partnership….by some distance.
Team for the derby -
Ederson
Walker
Ake
Stones...
Mahrez was an issue tonight! Really bad decisions at vital moments! After his assist for Debruyne he got most things wrong!
Shooting from an angle on his weaker foot when he could have just laid it across for Foden was just selfish and then just a few minutes later bottling a 50/50 which led to...
It’s fair to say it’s not been the window we wanted or were led to believe we’d have (think even the chairman said we’d be aggressive and be replacing Aguero IIRC). We’ve fallen foul of not improving the team sufficiently after winning the title before and it looks like we may have done it...
Don’t need a left back and Mendy is good to go as well!
Zinchenko has proven to be an excellent first choice, we’ve also got Cancelo, and we’ve got Ake for a proper defensive, backs against the wall job.
Save the money and go big on Grealish, Bissouma and Haaland.
