go back to the set up that beat bournmouth....more solid and stil very attacking.....
Bernardo next to Nico G is a better option than Nico G with Reijnders at present.
OReilly at left back
Nunes or Khusonov at right back...probably Nunes as he has earnt it at present.
This is unless Rodri is...
Foden performing at his top level tonight was a delight to see.
Ive been critical of Sav but that was his best performance in a long time
We were very good going forward but I also think we were a bit wide open defensively and sloppy in the second half...that needs to get better if we are to...
Anyone spot Nico G do the Bernardo spin move where he just turns in circles but somehow manages to lose the player trying to get the ball off him...he has definitely got that off of Bernardo!
Haaland would be the easy choice but I thought both Nunes and Cherki were excellent and equally inegral....Nico Oreilly and Nico G as well
You couldnt argue if any of those had got it
Thought that was our best performance of the season at times.
Cherki was excellent....get him fitter and more use to the prem and we have some player - him and foden linked very well
Haaland obviously superb
Special mentions to Bernardo and Nunes....thought both were very very good...
Though Nunes has done little wrong I'd prefer to have a natural defender with pave and power vs this lot ...I woukd have started khusonov even of it would be harsh on nunes
Midfield very attacking but extremely lightweight...this is Pep challenging what he talked about in the week....we have the creativity but do those players have the workmate, physicality and defensive capability...we will see
If he is lazy off the ball then he wont ever be any use to us.
You cant afford that type of player in the premiership....
Thsi will define him and which way his career at city goes.
If he doesnt put the running in Im not sure Pep will play him once he sees evidence of that (if that is the case)
If cherki can hit the intensity/effort/dedication levels of either Silva or Tevez then he will be a true great..
It remains to be seen and its just the start. Comparing him to those two is getting ahead of ourselves. He has the ability, technical skill and audacity as well......but he will need...
Yes agreed. Cherki gave up following the player
Nico had got back (possibly too far back)....
But 1 vs 1 RAN needs to be better...this is what Pep demands of all his players defensively.
Hopefully he improves. He will if he has the correct attitude as he has the technical skill to be a great...
Anyone really surprised by this?
If he aint good enough to at least train with the first team then there is very little chance we ever get to see these type of players make the step forward.
Have ANY of these players we buy like this lad ever made it?
Get him back, get him training with the...
