The flappers too, count me in !
And then Jose gives Pep a tactical masterclass next week and we will witness first hand the biggest meltdown in the history of sport, anywhere, anytime! But I shan't flap, Arthur, I've got well past flapping, ever since we lost a 3-1 lead in the lastten minutes to Wolverhampton Hyenas in the '50s.
 
I’m not getting it with Torres , he doesn’t have any affect on games , I know he’s a young lad and It’s his first season , new country etc .
But been really unimpressed with him , I thought we were getting a direct winger who was skillful and could beat a man .
I’ve not seen anything from him , looks a half decent finisher got a few goals earlier in the season but no where near the first team for me .
Gonna have to see how he gets on next season , needs to improve dramatically, he’s anonymous every time I see him play on the wing .

He scored some goals in the CL early on and he was better than Sane. Lol.

David are you sure you’re not flapping?

A stoic mindset DEB'e, lockdown for you will have been a breeze.

Having watched City for nigh on seven decades I'm not sure of anything. In fact, I regularly have to ask Mrs Ewing 'Where am I going?' And she oft replies, "Yer going to watch City, dear. Make sure you continue down Broadway to the end, turn right and . . . . . . !' I'm pretty clear on the next bit.
 
I think the fact we look at our strongest when we play without a recognised striker speaks volumes about Jesus.

A lot has been said over the past few seasons about him not getting an extended run in the side, but that cannot be said this season and he is levels below Aguero.

The guy has the same amount or less league goals than Ings, Callum Wilson, Neal Maupey, Harvey Barnes, Lingard, Maddison and Perreria from West Brom.

In the games when things are not going our way like against Leeds or Chelsea we need our striker to make the difference, he goes hiding every single time.

Pep knows he’s not up to the job and there’s no bigger kick in the bollocks that playing without a recognised striker whilst there is a fully fit one on the bench. It’s like when Pep played Dinho and Rodri at CB with Stones and Otamendi on the bench.
I like Jesus. He works hard, is intelligent, has what they call "clever feet", is fully committed every game.

However, he isn't a presence that defenders fear both physically and mentally. When Aguero is playing, even not that well (rare) he's inside defenders' heads. Same goes for other top strikers. I sometimes forget that Jesus is actually playing.

We've been fortunate that we have the quality whereby other players have been able to step up and provide goals in the absence of a top striker. But sadly Jesus will never fill that role.
