Shocking some of them but maybe we shouldn't be surprised as Pep himself has warned us they would come as they get used to playing his way and sticking rigidly to his game plans.
My mind hasn't changed from last year though and that's that this side desperately needs 2 world class full backs.
Are you impressed with his performances so far? Have seen nothing that warranted getting rid of Hart.
Does it need to be such a mystery for Yaya? Afterall, regardless all the other stuff that has happened recently, it seemed obvious that as Yaya was getting older his overal performance over the year was in visible decline, there is nohing weird to me to replacing aging players with declining performances in principle and the picture seemed to fit Yaya perfectly even if he was still a ver good player capable to some great moments at times.
Manchester city is rich, splashing around money is more limited by how much they are allowed than they could, a team like that can afford to buy the very best available at any time and the longer term decline of an older player would be the obvious moment for a change.
quite a lot of them actually. I'd have their entire back line, keeper and some of their midfielders, same with Arsenal. I think you're wearing blue tinted glasses if you think our squad is in better shape than theirs. We're probably on par with Liverpool
I can't believe some of the posts! Pep has had 14 games, yes 14 (including champions league). We've beaten the rags easily and almost everyone else! We've just been to camp nou, where we made some silly mistakes and lost to Europe's best team. Pep will make sure we learn from it. We have our own Brazilian wonder coming in Jan. It's gonna be some season!
Yeah.. i saw more than a couple of balls played into the box that Nacho would have buried with his eyes closed. And boy does he make those runs....right place, right time.What is annoying me is that when we get a pass round the back to De Bruyne or Sterling, there are no good runs into the box for them to pick out a pass. It was just the same against Everton on Saturday. For all Dzeko's faults, making that run was one thing he was brilliant at. As for our corners!!!
Goals change games simple as that,time after time we are just not clinical enough in front of goal,this follows on from the Everton game,and more so in Europe it gets shown up more,as with the top top teams the majority of the time they have a chance they take it...
