I dream of the day we have a left back, I dream of the day we have players playing positions they can play.

I dream of the days of Sterling and Sane. No pace in this side full stop.

I’d like to see him play a totally settled eleven when possible,with energy and some quicker football..

Definitely, so much lacking from City's play this season

 

[PragueBlue]

Lewis, Stones, Akanji, Ake is probably the weakest defence we can field. I wish Pep would stop fucking around with the defence, we can never get a settled back four

Injuries haven't helped. Both Laporte and Dias are injured. FBs are about the only thing we could have changed and Ake and Lewis both played well against Leeds, so were worth their place.

we have a left back fully fit ? he must be a better option than Ake

Pep has never changed.

I think it was 2 Seasons ago,i could be wrong.

Stones/Dias were getting clean Sheets game after game with La Porte out with a lengthy injury..The defense was impervious.I think we only conceded like 4 goals during that spell.

Le Porte returned from injury.Immediately Pep Shoe horned him straight back in to the side.And just like that a solid defense was ruined.

I can only remember them having one shot and that was the goal.

I'd like to see us going back to the 4-3-3 that has stood us in good stead. Grealish and Foden either side of Haaland. KDB, Bernardo and Rodri in CM and go back to traditional FBs instead of inverted.

What is this heresy you speak of ;-)
Beware the Pickering witch hunters.

It isn’t happy clapping. Some on here seem to have not witnessed our league triumphs, and how we’ve had to fight to get them.

Some on here seem to think we’ve never won a title, and that we’re throwing this one away not even at the half way stage.

It isn’t happy clapping. It’s knowing what we are capable of and what we’ve done to secure past titles. It’s also not being a total wet lettuce of a fanny when all isn’t going our way, or the players dare show their human side and have an off day.

“off day” again. You watched us this season?!

 

[bluemoon32]

The point that could win us the title come May!! :-)

Thats the spirit

 

[come-on-barney]

I think this season, the word is sussed.

Nothing a senior assistant manager can’t resolve.

I'd still have Ake in the centre though
