Odegaard is really good obviously. But he is a little too obsessed with passing, that he lacks the mindset to just say "Fuck it, Ill just shoot it myself" that Kevin has. And he has a decent shot on him too.

Both our wingers influencwd waned in the 2nd half when Ipswich changed to a back 5. Great 1st half from him, he is literally Mahrez 2.0.

He will make it with us imo. That very small cameo at the end showed me a city player, with a nice line breaking through ball to boot.

Basically vital to how we play now. He is using his low frame really well to shield the ball and draw fouls, this in turn gives him a quick turn of pace to go forward. He is reading the moments well, dont have stats, but feels like he intercepted more balls than anyone else. He was constantly...

Grealish got up right away, wheres the simulation? Donkey ref.

Rico is fucking everywhere.

Lewis is always in good spots, whether to attack or intercept the ball. Would love to see his attacking qualities develop to a higher standard, little subpar for us currently.

If he is an actual striker who doesnt mind being a backup then this makes complete sense and what I suspected we were going for. False 9 was nice, but Bobb injury means the plans of "maybe" getting a backup striker probably turned into a "we have to".

When did I say he isnt a 6? He is, I prefer him operating deeper rather than between the lines. I was speculating how Pep would play both him and Rodri. I suggested Rodri playing "the Stones role", while others suggested letting Rodri play like an 8, as he has good offensive qualities as well...

Kevin underlapping crosses from the right, Savinho cutting in to cross from the right is both their strengths. Unfortunately Kev, Bernie and Foden prefer RCM spot over LCM.

Apparentlly in the post match Pep said thosr 2 decided to switch on their own and he learned something from it.

So glad he stayed. I hope he can have a Gundogan like season to reward his hard running. He can get goals and assists in the centre. Unfortunately with Bobb out maybe Pep is forced to rotate him RW, or maybe McAtee can play there?

I truly dont think you watched him clearly in his career then. Ive seen him at Madrid (my brother likes Madrid) and Chelsea. Almost always played in a midfield 2 and operating deep, very rarely playing higher up between the lines like we want from our 8s. Anyways, the game today made it...

He works hard too! I found it funny when people said he would be found out in the Prem because he came from La Liga.

I like him better LW and Savinhi RW. I recognize the logic of Pep to go classical wingers to get crosses to Haaland, but these wingers arent "quick" like that. They are both more or less like Mahrez, they want to cut in and make a chance or shot.

Ultimate swiss army knife player. Right back, defensive midfield, attacking midfield, he encapsulates being a total football player. He just needs time, he will read the game even better, be stronger, slightly faster, scary he is only 19.

As ive said before, he is a great Rodri backup. But maybe Pep will want to start both? Kova still isnt the 8 like Bernie is, so I dont see that. An alternative is asking Rodri to start as a CB and push into midfield next to Kova. Quite curious if Pep tries this.

He is a 6. I dont get how you keep parotting this. He may not be Rodri good, but nobody is. Even Rodri needs help with a partner, as he couldnt lock a midfield down like Dinho.

Enzo is such a dive woman.

That goal came from Doku on the left.
