Mate just give it up with Stones.Will be a big boost to have Boulders and Akanji stars on Saturday.
If you think he was doing a good job maybe your IQ barometer is faulty. He was awful - casual misplaced passes, easily brushed off the ball, turning into trouble, lack of awareness - generally out of his depth. And that’s just critiquing his tactical and technical performance - discussing his lack of steel and grit is a thread in itselfSmacks of a lack of football IQ this post.
I don’t rate Nunes (Think he’s too lightweight, lacks grit and makes bizarre decisions at times) but he was quite clearly doing a good job at full back against United until his ‘brain fart’ moment. If it weren’t for that ‘brain fart’ moment then yes, he would indeed have been praised for his performance by myself and many others and rightly so.
Either way, good performance in the derby or not, I still don’t believe he has the steel, grit and decision making to play at the top level despite his obvious technical ability.
And Savio and Doku!I know options are limited but I don’t think we can afford to carry Walker, Bernardo and KDB at the same time.
You probably said the same against Spurs and the rags mate, lol. I know it's blind optimismFeeling positive about this, and a great day it could be.
Pub for 12. Beers. 3-1 City. I think we’ll turn up and go for them tomorrow. Cannot wait.
I feel the exact opposite to you mate, 3-1 Villa. I think we're shot as a team, the players look physically fucked, the style of play has gone to the dogs, we're in a real mess. The concerning thing is that every single player is off form. You can maybe carry 3 or 4 but not a whole squadFeeling positive about this, and a great day it could be.
