It's not by design though. Missed out on Cucurella, Gomez isnt up to scratch and Cancelo fucked off mid season

How is it not by design, Pep played both Zinchenko & Delph at leftback when winning the domestic quad & centurion season

The Boys in Blue never give in. They fight to the end. Come on City, come on City. Show ‘em lads, show ‘em all. Especially that load of soft Southern wallahs. Especially that load of biased, stupid media.
Give it to ‘em John Boy. You can show the doubting Thomas’s on this thread. :-) ;-)

The Best Team in the Land and all the World.

Dodgy back four. Strange with two right backs on the bench.

Do we reckon Johhny will play inverted? Would love to see it

Agreed....the only thing is that Stones, as good as he is on the ball (one of the best) he can also be a bit too casual......its rare but it does happen and he then gets caught on the ball....(then again walker made one terrible pass back towards the centre half last time he played as well)

I guess it boils down to standards,and Pep clearly has a higher level than you.

Playing him would send out the wrong message etntirely.

Im actually surprised he is in the squad.

Ha! Yeah maybe my standards are lower mate. Thing is he’s on the bench so as you say maybe he shouldn’t be in the squad at all.

Shit or bust week, three must win games.

Why is it seemingly impossible for Alvarez to get a start? He usually starts, has a good performance, and then is dropped for weeks. Doesn't really seem like we're selling him the idea that we want him and that he's critical to the squad.

Start instead of who?

Because the manager wants our strongest front 3 and at the moment it is the one he has picked.
