Not got the legs for a midfield two, never goong to excel in that situation

Did a good job tracking back, but thought he was really poor going forwards tbh. Was isolated all game with the pretty useless Emerson Royal, with tons of space to run at him, but just couldn't do anything with it. That's any wingers dream scenario, he should be running him ragged there.

When he runs at people and is direct, it opens everything up. Complete gamechanger to have a winger beat their man, it forces the opposition to change everything. Its what we've been missing too often this season as our other wingers just aren't doing that at all

What a turnaround. First half looked like all our usual problems, slow, backwards, letting ourselves get pinned in. Second half, Mahrez does what our wingers haven't been doing, runs at people, is direct, grabs the game by the balls. That's what we need, players taking responsibility and...

His best performance for us, completely dug us out of a hole. Looked finished in the first half of the season, but he's been great lately and is carrying us

At least Navas tried. Stick any defender within 5 yards of him and Grealish will just turn back. Absolutely gutless on the ball

Just shite tbh, shows the drop-off from a few of our first teamers and then also how carried some of the others are by the more dynamic players. Philips looks miles off it, Gomez clearly isn't particularly good, but that front 5 all should be good enough to do something but none of them look...

Thought the game highlighted our desperate need of some pace outwide if we play Haaland, there is so much space out there but none of our wingers have the pace to run at an isolated fullback. In the end we get a goal because there is literally so much space tge wingers doesn't even need to beat...

Tbf, getting behind Grealish makes it a lot more likely for him to pass you the ball, so its a decent plan

Stones was excellent the season before signing Dias? That's not how I remember it at all, he was on the verge of being our on his arse as he'd been shite for about 3 years. Dias came in, Stones played with Dias and regained his confidence. Laporte was the one to miss out iirc, after dropping...

Just not dynamic at all, always slow, always sideways or backwards. No idea why we signed him, never seemed a good fit, but he's been worse than I expected. Combine him with Mahrez and it just makes it worse

No, it doesn't,you just can't see what happened because the angle messes up the perspective. Just watch the other angle, it's clear as day. He puts his foot down, then gets kicked, dragging his standing foot back 6 inches, si he can't drive off it. You can't see that on your crappie angle as the...

So, yes, you are using the terrible angle rather than the one that clearly shows the foul

Really? He literally drags Kevs standing leg foot back by about half a foot, while he's spinning. It's am incredibly obvious penalty. Are people just watching that one deliberately shit angle and basing if off that? As from the other angle it's very obvious

He's Kante without the ball and Spanish Dave with it. Unbelievable player, but doesn't get the credit because he sacrifices himself for the team so doesn't get "numbers". Ironically, because he's so good with the vall he doesn't get the credit for the incredible work he does without it...

Reminds me of Nasri. Has the ability, just far too happy playing it safe and tidy so ends up not trying to influence the game.

I feel like I'm going mad, people seem to actually be suggesting that wasn't a penalty? It's bizarre, some are even saying de Bruyne stood on the defenders foot, despite neither of the defenders feet being within a yard of De Bruynes foot when he puts ut down. Genuinely weird, it's one if the...

They will sell it to fans the same way they do in America. Its not a cap to enforce profits, its to stop one team winning all the time. Those greedy players make too much anyway, theyre why orices are so high! They just want to increase the competitive balance, if by coincidence they also turn...

Amazed how many actual (alleged) journalists are quoting him saying he wants it to benefit the football pyramid. without questioning that at all. Anyone who knows anything about US sports knows what US owners think of sports and how highly they "regard" the lower leagues. But this is what US...

I see womens football a bit like youth football, or mens football from 30-40 years ago before nutrition and training brought the overall physical level of players up to such a high level across the board. Because the average level of physicality is not where it is in the mens game, the "freaks"...
