We need the practice with penalties...the only way we win is if we acore every single one and they miss one (none of our GK will stip a penalty).

Ederson has probably run more km than Haaland. I don't remember such a lazy performance in a while.

An underrated thing about Rodri is how he is always available for a pass, and that our players trust him even when he is pressed. Kovacic + O'Reily together have touched half the balls Rodri would (and we have similar amount of possession to our average).

Bobb and Doku amazing. McAtee and Lewis also really good. Haaland and Nico (he takes too many touches before releasing the ball) our worst performers.

It's really good money for someone that is not that necessary (false 9 works great with the players we have). The only doubt that I have is if Haaland eventually goes in the next couple seasons, Julian would have been a great replacement. I feel like Pep and Txiki bought Julian because they...

There are literally 3 posts in the first page suggesting having him as back up CB for the season might be a good idea.

Let's hope that Rico's injury is just a knock. Good pre-season, Bobb showed he is ready to make RW his, and McAtee with some glimpses he might be more than just early cup games starter. He still needs to be more involved, but the few times he is, he shows good decision-making. People will...

Agree, also he has a hard time releasing the ball quickly which is vital for a DM. He is very far from being ready, and won't be part of the squad except for early rounds in cup games.

I'll be honest. I feel like Pep played him less than what he deserved last season. Bernardo as a RW was not particularly great. I really hope Bob starts the season in our first 11, and that he has a more active role, because what a player...

People overreact. Phillips could dribble 11 players and make the goal of the century that he wouldn't have space here. Preseason is important for Bobb, McAtee, Grealish or Nico. The best we can expect is that these 2 last matches spark some interest for Kalvin and we can get rid of him. Pep has...

Walker is gone next season, along KDB and Bernardo. It would be better to at least get 1 replacement, instead of trying to get the 3 right in the same summer. I would never sell Kovacic, he is a really good squad member (just not starter). I would sell Nunes at a huge loss (isn't that what we...

I think there are two really clear weaker points. - RB/CB: Walker had a bad last season, he had a poor Euro, and he is old. Rico doesn't have the defensive skills and athleticism to be our starting RB. Akanji could do it, but then we have very little depth in the defense (especially with Stones...

Of course we are losing all our matches, Rodri's not there ;)...being serious, pretty good match. Offensively we are playing really well and incisive. Kovacic will have a great season I think. Classic City shooting skills by the way.

Of course he would be a loss. I n most of those seasons he was fundamental to our victories. But for the first time in those 7 seasons, I think we will be just fine. And I say it because, for the first time, we have a GK that has played a significant portion of the season (3 UCL matches, all...

I haven't mentioned 9320. I have posted the same twice, but why don't you mention the same about the dozens of posts about how we would be significantly weaker witout Ederson? There are far more of those than the simple repetition once of my post. And YET, none has explained the stats that I...

Tell me how do you explain that Ortega played 9 PL games last season against Liverpool, Tottenham, Arsenal, Brighton, Aston Villa, West Ham, Newcastle... with 7 wins and 2 draws (with clean sheets on both draws)? 9 PL games with that schedule is way closer to the pressure of being number 1 than...

Jack, the player who has never released a ball without less than 4 touches a good midfielder? Rodri, Gundogan, Foden or Bernardo are extremely good in 1-2 touches. Jack doesn't have it. I still think he can have a good season, but he could only be in KDB position, but there we have both KDB and...

It would be a disappointing transfer window, especially when there is such a clear necessity of a 6/8 that can play with Rodri and give him rest. Also, KDB should be worse than last season, Bernardo had his worst season and it's getting older, Nunez doesn't seem to be at our level. Rodri and...

Most footballers are extremely egotistical (far more than reporters), and most of them are also complete idiots. Whoever thinks Ederson wasn't jealous and extremely pissed off about Ortega's save is a complete idiot. But whoever thinks Ederson would take that anger and go to Pep or the...

Ortega played 9 PL games last season (basically 25% of PL): - Liverpool, Tottenham, Newcastle, Palace and Nottingham away. Liverpool and Tottenham he played 30 min on both, but he had really good and busy performances on both, so I include them (he won MoM for Tottenham and top 3 for the...
