[ID70]

Why didn’t he have his shirt tucked in his shorts last night, looked a bit scruffy for my liking ;)

If he starts a game with his shirt untucked, you know he’s not there to fuck about!!

 

[MarsLlama]

It should never be taken off him.

What? Don't you know that the best way to decide who gets the armband is to hand it to whoever's been here longest and reevaluate every August?

Rodri or Dias if he gets fit are our leaders.

Impossible, Gundogan is much older and therefore a better leader.

The players vote for their own captain.

The players vote for their own captain.

Terrible way to do it IMO. None of them are going to want to rock the boat so they'll vote for the most experienced head in the dressing room. There's a reason very few managers go with the voting method.

Maybe that's one of the reasons why our manager has been more successful than the others.

A captain isn't there to rock the boat, they're there to steady the ship. Players will take that into account when they're choosing.

Was, now we look to the long term future and sadly Gundo won't be part of that.

It's actually how most clubs in Spain, Portugal and South America do it.

And it seems to have worked pretty well for Pep over the last 30 years.

Is it worth pointing out that our club captain, Gundogan, is not the longest serving player at the club? That would be KDB.

And Aguero was the most experienced and long serving player while Fernandinho was captain.

Which seems to torpedo your theory that they won't rock the boat and just choose the most experienced player.

 

[gingerprince]

Shirt in, or out, or half in/out. Have no doubt, he'll be Player of the season.

Was magnificent again last night, although Mahrez rightly received MOTM

 

[Dr Jacoby]

Generally excellent but very soft for the second goal yesterday. He’s a more natural leader than Gundogan in my mind.

 

[Agueroooo9320]

for the second goal we conceded he has to clear the ball. maybe sometimes naive defensively. always trying to play tiki taka when a brexit clearance will be the best

 

[SebastianBlue]

Our most important player now.

 

[MCFCFanTX]

Midfield lost all shape when he got subbed off. Luckily, the game was won at the time.

 

[ninjamonkey]

I was saying it at 2-0 as we looked comfortable but soon as the 3rd went in he should have been off for Phillips, Phillips needs the minutes, he needs all the rest he can be afforded and he was on a yellow, no clue whatsoever why it took Pep so long to get him off, 10 minute rest is better than nothing but should have been half hour.

 

[DTKOAG]

Player of the year so far for me.
Colossus

Colossus

He needs a song

 

[GX Blue]

What a player Rodri is. Arguably more important for us than Haaland or KDB.

If he gets injured we are in a lot of bother.

The Kalvin Phillips buy was criminal. Injury prone and his main quality is long passes.…
We hardly play long passes out of midfield. You can’t compare the 2 players there’s that much of a gulf in class.

Phillips will never make it at us.

 

[eastmanc]

He's been excellent for a few seasons now, I just wish he had another yard of pace, but I'm probably being too picky.
