Yep,Walker,for most of the game,after a fucking ridiculous dismissal.
What do you think would happen if we went out and bid what we thought he was worth straight away.Are we bothering or we just bidding every couple of days till we pay 60m+?
Sanchez and Van Dyke would restore my faith after Monday. Something was missing!

£140m ;)So we need to spend another 100 million to be able to beat Everton !

Ha. Well said.Yep,Walker,for most of the game,after a fucking ridiculous dismissal.
Conceded fewest chances and shots of all 20 teams last season.Pep said before the game everyone knows the way he plays there will be space in behind but he won't change. This means the way we defend, or rather don't, we need to probably score at least twice to win a game.
We did play a chunk of the match without any recognised full backs though, if we had played with Walker and Mendy it would have been different. Worth bearing in mind as well it was our 2nd competitive match after only 4 pre season games. It was Evertons 5th competitive match we are probably not fully match sharp yet. Hopefully slow start and extra time on training ground will prove beneficial as we get into September. IMO need Sanchez, and backup cb / left back. Danilo looked fine as Walker cover.Thought we were average before the sending off as well. Fair play we took it to them second half, but we looked fragile at the back for me and we will have to agree to disagree on the form of Jesus at present. Sanchez and a top drawer defender improve us immensely.

Hopefully Ederson won't prove to be the hologram that Bravo was.Really?? Even with almost every shot on target going in with Bravo in goal? On Monday I think Everton had two shots on target and scored once, we had something like nine and scored once. Statistically it looks good but last season watching it it didn't.
Thought Aguero did everything Pep wanted on Monday and while they were on the pitch was better than Jesus. If he'd scored his chance and somebody had attacked that pull back he would be fine he didn't miss it because of the jobs Pep gets him too do. He never looks happy during games and don't think he lacks confidence.PEP imho wants more from Aguero. apart from his usual game he wants him to do the headless chicken bit, a la Tevez,Its not in Aguero"s forte he doesnt look happy and for the first time on Monday i thought he was lacking confidence It has to be said he still grafted his balls off. Also effected is GJ who like Sane is in a position that does not help the team. .Whether right or wrong PEP has a complete and total stubborn view and i seriously would not put it past him to god forbid make him part of the Sanchez deal PEP knows another trophyless season will see his position become fragile and will unpopular calls that wont sit well with everybody
Need to be better in both boxes. If you didn't know better, you'd swear this Guardiola chap might know what he's talking about after all............Hopefully Ederson won't prove to be the hologram that Bravo was.
And yeah really, Sky had the stats up for Kat season before the game. We had the most shots and conceded the fewest.

He won't be part of any Sanchez deal because they don't play in the same position. They would more often than not play together..

Yeh, but it's the nature of those chances that's the issue, ie wide open on the counter 2 vs 2
My initial thought seeing it once live, but seeing it again I'm not so sure. I also follow an ex-keeper.on Twitter who's good at talking about keeper performances (David Preece) and he said from that range and straight at him, it's difficult to close your legs in time.Hopefully, he looked good pre season but I thought he could have done better with the goal on Monday.
And the '2' are often 2 yards too slow, to do anything but watch.
We aren't conceding half chances due to quality football, we are conceding nailed on chances due to the kind of football we could play in the 3rd division.t
If a team wants to score v City, it should be fucking difficult & require skill or subterfuge.
It isn't, any old obvious bog standard shit football move can do it.
Any team is calable of it at any time, no matter how well we are playing.
"Oh yes but we miss chances" Yes we do. But what if their keeper plays well & we only score 1 ?
We lose ?
