    4 | Kalvin Phillips - 2022/23 Performances

    He will never gain pace so will need to rely on good positioning and technique. At 27 I think you can improve your understanding of the game still and that will improve the positions you take up and allow you to anticipate danger and block off passing lanes but I don't think its so easy to...

    21 | Sergio Gomez - 2022/23 Performances

    Think he has looked very good going forward and obviously has some talent but would not be happy seeing him play as a full back as not convinced he has good defensive instincts.

    82 | Rico Lewis - 2022/23 Performances

    Incredibly calm and confident for a kid of 18. Pep seems to have faith in him and trust he will make the right choices when it comes to both positioning and passes he makes. Think he will be used in the inverted full back role by Pep but more likely midfield post Pep unless the game changes and...

    Levi Colwill

    I think Pep has arrived in the English game at the perfect time. The rule changes around the amount of time players can spend training and the level of funding going into academies has resulted in a lot more technically gifted English players coming through alongside some of the best talent from...

    Full backs / Wing Backs

    Think that will be the plan. Expect we will replace Laporte with Gvardiol and that's it. Think Gomez may get another season but even if not can't see us buying an out and out full back.

    Tottenham Thread - 2022/23

    I get the impression Spurs were expecting every other club to stand still while they spent money on the stadium and underinvested in the squad but would still somehow qualify for the champions league. Its bit them on the bum and they are looking for a scapegoat rather than there own business model.

    PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

    Most people believe what they want to believe , what they would like to be true - me included. For a lot of the more rabid rag and dipper fans we will have cheated irrespective of any outcome in any legal forum. Personally am not interested in any recognition from any united , liverpool or any...

    Chelsea Thread - 2022/23 | Pochettino confirmed as new manager

    Just can't see how they turn things around quickly at Chelsea. Have a mishmash of a squad and require some real managerial leadership to ruthlessly trim the squad of the dead weight. None of the new signings have been consistently impressive but as a player having seen Tuchal replaced by potter...

    FA Cup Final | Ticket Criteria

    Same here. In my Tickets and in the right names but can't add to wallet. Going to leave it and will sort later as can't spend any more time sorting city stuff out - work piling up and getting a few funny looks !!!

    FA Cup Final | Ticket Criteria

    Bought 2 at 10am. Was 1,790 logged in Q when I went on and picked up 2 for £70 each. Did not buy first time around as was holding off for champions league and immediately regretted it soon as lost opportunity so quite chuffed to get a second chance. Just now need to think about financing...

    England's best 11?

    He has just had his best ever season with 29 goals. He would need another exactly the same to get to 150 goals. He has 122 in 356 games. If you are sitting back and hitting teams on the break then he is fine but , as you have said very inconsistent. As for England think I would have him on the...

    Declan Rice

    Rice joining to rotate with Rodri and stones makes sense. Gvardiol in and Laporte Inthink will go along with Gomez. Rice would need to play in a more disciplinedlcontrolled way for City but has the talent.

    7 | Joao Cancelo - 2022/23 Performances

    A top player in a squad full of top players. You don’t keep up the standard you don’t get in the team and you also have to be prepared to bide your time with the tactical switches.He was obviously unhappy with that and maybe thought past performances should be taken into account. We hopefully...

    It's Quiet 18 - Wanna ring the bell?

    Think once it gets to the business end of the season Pep does not take chances with individuals. He sticks to a small pool of players he trusts to hold it together and get the job done. Phillips never got the early season chances to prove he could do a job and was either average or poor in the...

    Tottenham Thread - 2022/23

    Still not forgot or forgiven 81 , always enjoy watching them implode. Have same animosity towards Luton and am hoping if they get promotion it will destroy them through overreach and I get to see them drop all the way back out of the league - lovely.

    Phil Jones to leave United after 12 years

    Think he appears harmless enough as an individual. Not a gobshite like Evra or Neville. Just thought he was an average centre back , a little too short and lost any turn of pace he had I assume through injuries. Always happy to see him in the redshirt for united and would have loved to see him...

    Declan Rice

    The changes to the numbers in the champions league with 5 entrants from the Premier League may loosen the purse strings a little more at Arsenal. Think they will be looking to fight off Chelsea and Newcastle for top 5 going forward but with the Newcastle owners there is still one of the “big 6”...

    Real Madrid CL S/F 2nd Leg (H) | Man of the Match

    Did exactly the same. He looked every bit the best defensive midfielder in the world , great passer, and can chip in with the odd goal. Magnificent last night. If we have 4 or 5 guys play anywhere near there top level we crush teams , if we have everyone bang at it its as damn near perfection as...

    EFL Playoffs | 20 May - 15:00 Carlisle United v Bradford City

    They seem incapable of putting a cross in. Overplaying it looking for a gap that’s not there.

    Do you hate a team without remembering or even knowing why?

    Bury. Started to soften my dislike when there was 2 clubs to hate but can now go back to concentrating on just the one. Growing up associated them to the rags and Stockport to city largely based on who we played in pre season friendly's. Stockport - grew up , met Stockport fans.
