People say he looked for easy passes , peps whole philosophy is based on position. One thing he did yesterday was try to hit Haaland first time whilst others were pissing around. Haaland on another day would have converted those we win 3/4-1 and everyone’s happy. I thought his creativity yesterday especially first half was spot on.
That applies to nearly all City playersLazy as fuck during Everton’s counter at the end. He couldn’t be arsed to run back to help out.
I think Savinho had just received a knock so I’ll let him off, but Foden just couldn’t be arsed. Bernardo tried but you could clearly see he was fucked, which I’m not surprised with considering how hard he worked yesterday. Something is off with these players not even looking arsed about running back.That applies to nearly all City players
Pep’s teams are always renowned for tracking back and regaining possession of the ball, this seems to have stopped happening for some reason, tiredness, injuries or the players just not responded to him?I think Savinho had just received a knock so I’ll let him off, but Foden just couldn’t be arsed.

I’m not sure on either, but when you see the ref out running £250k pw athletes, you know something is amiss.Pep’s teams are always renowned for tracking back and regaining possession of the ball, this seems to have stopped happening for some reason, tiredness, injuries or the players just not responded to him?
This has been a common theme all season. Foden being one of the biggest culprits.I’m not sure on either, but when you see the ref out running £250k pw athletes, you know something is amiss.
Considering he learnt for years from merlin and then kev it is alarming he is not stepping up to the plate a bit more . However he is as entitled to burnout like the others who won us four titlesSaid it in the last game. Unless his shooting is on form then he’s anonymous for the most part.
Not a Kev successor. Not a Merlin successor. Just a very good player and a nice one to have in your team than not.
But doesn’t particularly offer anything cut throat in most games.
Still, he will be - and should be - a mainstay in the team for the next 10 years.
