For Girona? Wouldn't get a sniff here, hes a complete fraud.

No they think that Mount is a legit target for City god knows where they got that idea from !! It's a no from me !

He really is a nasty, snidey, dirty piece of work.

He is indeed but has several levels to go until he reaches " extreme cuntishness " achieved by the horrible , odious , snidey piece of work that is robertson! I wouldn't wish injury on anyone but I wish someone would snap him in two!

Pep likes his wide players to hog the touchline We pass to them and they pass it backwards
Today Mahrez was given the freedom of the Etihad and what a different player he looked

That's because we had Walker overlapping him and playing wide, which allowed Mahrez to drift infield more than when we play with inverted FBs.

 

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

Yes. In my opinion. Whether it turns out that way remains to be seen. I hope so but all depends on him.

He's undoubtedly a talented player, but he need a bit of luck to go his way I think. Hopefully that will spark his confidence.

Good minutes for some in need of them and a rest for some in need of that.

I think Kev forces others out of position,but he is also capable of things others are not.....so,id go

Walker--Stones--Laporte--Ake
---------------Rodri-------------
---------Foden----KDB------
-----Bernie--Haaland--Alvarez

Slightly odd selection I'd say but I honestly don't know what our best XI is at the moment. However, I'm not sure that matters (our best XI that it is: it's irrelevant whether or not I know). Pep is playing so many combinations that I hope the players will be increasingly comfortable in pretty much any XI and a host of formations (today's was pretty much 2-3-5 but you could make a case for 2-1-2-5 or even 2-1-7) so that Pep can focus on a suitable set-up for each game.

What was bizarre is that firstly the kid didn’t look bothered at all and secondly no adult came out of the crowd when he was carted off. The club should be putting out pictures and names on the website, social media etc with the appropriate sentence. What possesses these people to let their kids do that is beyond me and presumably the adult gets a vote when elections take place, SMH

Never saw anything on TV. What age was the kid?

I saw Mahrez at LB & thought WTF! He was on the left wing, centre forward, central midfield & was even back beyond Rodri to pick the ball up from Akanji.

Was Mahrez going off script, or has Pep released the handbrake a bit?
