Each to their own I guess... but having a stat of "top scorer with 13 goals" isn't something to be proud of in my book...Worth mentioning Juve just finished fourth and failed to win the title for the first time in a decade with Cristiano Ronaldo scoring 29 goals. Not done their CL ambitions any good either.
Meanwhile, our top scorer last season was a midfielder with 13 goals.
I'll take the cohesive unit.
He’s not alone in behaving like that. I always want the ones that celebrate by sliding on their knees to hit an unexpected dry patch and go face first into the turf. It’s the little things in life.He very rarely acknowledges the assist player for his goals. It’s everyone look at me, take a picture.
Whilst I agree with the sentiment - having a "cohesive unit" doesn't win matches - goals do... and they are something we are severely lacking at the moment. You don't need 11 men to "press" the ball when we loose it
That's just not true (in that everyone HAS to press ALL THE TIME in a Pep team)If the front line doesn’t press as a unit we don’t recover the ball in the high position and the opposition are allowed to release the ball upfield quicker.
So, of course we need everyone to press and if you don’t care for us having a high press then you’re not keen on Pep’s brand of football and all the success it’s brought us.
PS. Out of respect for those who don’t think we need a cohesive team press, the above is IMO of course :-)
Would you not rather he went back to United?I would take him. But knowing City we rater spend endless time on transfers that are not happening, while this guy offered himself to us! A year 2 contract would be enough.
Since United is your club, you should ask yourself that.Would you not rather he went back to United?
Not if there is a zero percent chance City would be interested in fake Ronaldo and Bernardo wants to move closer to home (ie Spain).Same agent as Bernardo, would it be possible to see some sort of swap deal between city & juve if Bernardo has his heart set on leaving?
