Florian Wirtz

I'm at full mast. Even if we don't get Wirtz, this shows we're actually ambitious enough to get back to where we were.

This is the standard of player that made us the best team in the world. Many of them have left in recent years. Few have arrived.
I think that’s a good way of seeing it haha. The ambition thing is spot on.
 
The longer Bobb has been out, the better a player he's become.

Don't get me wrong, the flashes we've seen he's clearly a talent but he's one to ease into a functioning team rather than be planning next season's starting 11 around.

Haha.

Remember Bojinov was as good as Shearer on here by the time he was ready to come back!
 
Pretty much all of our success under Pep has been in something similar to that shape, just with one of the defenders moving up to form the ‘2’ with Rodri/Fernandinho. No reason it couldn’t work with two proper midfielders instead. Especially if you have lateral centre backs who are comfortable defending in the wide areas (like Ake and Akanji in the treble season).
I like it - though Marmoush and Doku as the wide players might be overkill. With Wirtz (and Foden hopefully getting back to form), I’d prefer more ‘controlling’ wide players to help us move up the pitch coherently, without leaving us exposed to the dreaded ‘transition’ …

We have still always defended with a 4 when we lost possession though. If we were to play in a set up like that, it would mean Rodri dropping into CB out of possession, which I don’t think he will do.

Reckon we are more likely to see it the other way round if anything different - 4 defenders but Rodri dropping between the CBs to form a 3 in possession to allow the full backs to push up and hold the width (as Nunes / o’reilly have done lately).
 
Can’t even get his name right

That doesn't matter, you should be able to understand the difference
I do understand the difference, but the cesspot that is social media and especially twitter or x or whatever its called this week will take any opportunity to criticise anyone for anything
