I largely agree with the second sentence. But how many of them have played against top tier CL opposition where the gaffer’s picked them on merit rather than because of injuries? I know they’re only teenagers who’ve got their whole careers ahead of them but they’re nowhere near the first team...

If you’ve played and managed before then I can’t understand your take on this unless it was solely to cause a row. And I’m aware that some of the kids have represented the firsts. My point is that a club with such supposed academy potential rarely if ever promotes them to first team regulars...

Perhaps he doesn’t trust them for the big games then? That’s fair enough.

Let’s hope that one of those U23s who was involved in such a famous victory one day makes it into your first team. Or even on the bench.

Nearly every player we have in our squad has been injured or is currently injured this season. As I explained above, footballers and their positions aren’t totally interchangeable. Therefore players playing out of position won’t always have the same effect as the other lads. It’s not a hard...

We won’t buy any big name forwards this summer unless we sell one of the front three for big money. The already apportioned money will be for a centre half, a right back & a budget forward to replace Origi. Maybe a cheaper range midfielder too if Wijnaldum leaves as Jones will take his place...

I think we can safely say she’s not with him for his aesthetics. She’s lovely in the flesh though, absolute worldie.

Hahaha! Give us a sec. EDIT: Here you go

As someone else has just said, Rodri & Fernandinho struggled at the back at times for you last season. Doesn’t make them bad players but it shows how hard some positions are to cover, especially for extended periods.

FSG don’t take a penny out of Liverpool, they never have. They make money on the equity of the club in the same way you would if you have a property portfolio. They buy things, pump money into them and then use them to leverage new acquisitions. Believe me when I say that a lot of people will...

Thanks mate. If you’re the person I think you are, you’re nearly as unpopular as me on here. Aren’t you the lad calling your own fans & this forum out on other teams fora? Give you something, takes balls to do that and then come back. I remember that thread well, there were a few naughty words...

I’ve already got lads who do that for me. Nice one though.

Haha...fair tackle. He’s a great player, exceptional talent. Not far away from world class at all which is amazing for his age.

I might be hiring soon, I’ll keep you in mind.

By your logic here, every single position on the pitch should be immediately interchangeable for each member of the squad. If you think that footballers can just adapt to new positions with different needs and skill sets just because they’re first teamers, I’d say it might be a little sinking in...

Your answer bears no resemblance to the question that was asked. The follow up tells me you’re looking for a row so I’ll bow out. Enjoy your day.

To be fair, there’s a definite part of this forum that thinks the same about City. That’s football though, everyone sees the same things differently.

Well said, totally agree.

Sorry, pal, svelte & well clad here.

I’m not so sure that it’s as cut & dried as that, but I take the sentiment of it. The most supported clubs are likely to be near the top of the most hated list purely by association.
