Clearly both Palmer and Rodgers weren't good enough to nail down a place whilst they were here. Both would struggled with us suffering a lack of confidence too.

Apart from the experience level, he could provide a different aspect, so why not ?

Agree, at least until we can sign someone else he can’t be any worse than Gundogan or Bernardo.

Klopp didn't either. Livepool haven't changed much and are still reliant on Salah.Liverpool are far far more resilient

Klopp didn't either. Livepool haven't changed much and are still reliant on Salah. Fergusson neither ventured too far and he had total control on first team matters.

Ferguson was both pragmatic and ruthless and would chop and change, our form is on par with Southampton and neither of those managers would just continue doing what we have seen the last 12 games

Grealish doesn’t offer anything, as much as a nice Guy around the club and off the pitch he offers absolutely nothing , the fact he hasn’t scored a goal for a whole calendar month is frankly shocking , either play him through the middle Pep or get rid.

Reminds me of the joy I had watching City in my younger days........I'm 69.

Same here, I know exactly what you mean.
However, we were there then and remain so !

Harrwood belis is better than akanji. Has a better fitness record than stones.
Doyle is better than gundo.
Lavia would easily get in out midfield.
Delap would be an excellent alternative to a sulky haaland

Etc etc etc

Lavia is always injured ffs.
Delap wasn’t needed the season he was allowed to leave.
Same with Palmer.
Doyle is at Wolves.
Harrwood Bellis wouldn’t even be being discussed if we didn’t have 4 centre halves injured ffs.

The revision regarding the ones who have left is embarrassing. They weren’t missed for that couple of seasons as we’ve been successful and they weren’t going to all wait around.
Sooner people stop complaining about the ones who left the better.

I am normally so cool and backing the club and manager on here through thick and thin, But I have had enough
BIG SHOUT to the fans today, Loud and Proud and got right behind the team and still sing their hearts out

I hate watching players ghosting at any level and let's get it right here highly paid players at the best club in the past 10 years, World-Class players ghosting in a city shirt does not sit well with me

The Boys in Blue did give in. I can say no more about that, sorry.
However the fans in Blue did not give in they supported until the bitter end. Thank you fans, thank you.

I shall now retire and just ponder on what has happened.
I will not though condemn the team or Pep. To me they have still got a lot left in the bank from the past few years.
They are City as I am City.
We’ll be back soon. :-)

John Boy I am sorry you are injured again. I’m still on your side though. :-)

I think most supporters are Sheila, but he can't catch a break atm or stay fit.

Superb player saddled with injury issues .

Are you any more clued up on this? Never heard it before.

Field tilt is where the game was played, eg mostly in Villa's half; defensive action height is essentially how far away from your goal your defensive line is (not entirely that, but close enough). From that, you can see we played a higher line, played in their half and didn't do that much. Our press in the second half was...shocking

 

[CTID1988]

Lock Haaland away til we start playing well again. Pointless him even playing when we are like this
