Bournemouth (h) pre-match thread

[Chi-town blues]

Pep assesses forwards (all players, really) differently than traditional standards. You need to progress with the times, mate.

I am a pep expert but his philosophy hasn’t changed since beginning of his managerial career. It is up to the players to decide what they do with the ball in the final third.
Progress with time ?

No, the away game to Bournemouth where Sterling scored a 98th minute winner.

Was that match day 3?

Nothing wrong with a bit of Confidence, I reckon 27-0

Thats exactly what i'm saying, anything over 23-0 is totally unrealistic :)

This argument kun is selfish does my head . He is a striker not a mid fielder or a play maker .

He doesn’t have to be a midfielder or a playmaker, he’s just got to do with guardiola wants him to do. He’s trying hard but Jesus does the job so much better. Both of them do need a goal though.

I'll say this now to save time later

they need a kick up the arse at half time

 

[Chi-town blues]

What does that have to do with it?

That he is a shelfish.

Are you saying Pep doesn’t value dynamic, link up play with a focus on contributing to team movement over nearly everything else?

Because, if so, I really need to reread his books—I completely misunderstood everything in them.

Brighton, Everton, Bournemouth. Dippers were after the first international break. That's why Guardiola is still being asked how important that late goal from Raz was in kick starting our winning run.

Strong line up today. There could be a few goals in this. I fancy us to get 4 or 5.

Kin ell! Great line up.
Feeding time for the blue sharks.
