International Matches | 15th - 22nd November 2023

Roll on tonight’s scintillating 2-0 hammering of the giants from North Macedonia to pad out Waistcoats immaculate record.
You’ve been watching too much Wee Davie football

Italy (European Champions)couldn’t beat them at their place a couple months ago. So a 2-0 win would beat great.

And how are Italy performing over their last ten matches?

 

[jimharri]

Provided I can locate coverage, I'll be watching the Italy/Ukraine game. Fuck watching a meaningless game involving Gareth's warriors. I'll leave that the the cheerleader in chief on here.

So-so..... https://footystats.org/clubs/italy-...erage,this season in International Friendlies.

Just won half of their last 10 games (4 at home, 6 away). And only two wins in those 6 away games. And they're "away" tonight, albeit in Germany.

Admittedly England winning all the time means we’ve qualified so understand that one - however may see a couple debuts including your boy Rico Lewis, Win tonight and we go Number 1 in the world rankings also. Good times.

 

[super_city_si]

If he does start at left back it makes a mockery of waistcoat claiming he didn’t pick Foden in certain positions for England because he didn’t play those positions for City. Well done Waistcoat.

That hypocrisy was evident the minute he said it. When does Trippier play left back? When does Maguire even actually play? When does Maddison play left wing?

 

[TrentGrisham]

Id love to see his passing stats. Gave it away nearly every time. If he Plays there against us and turns it over as much as that then we’ll twat the dippers. Pray klopp plays him there but klopp isnt daft Unlike gormless gareth.

I feel the same way. I think he's a very talented passer of the ball but he does it give it away too often and is almost too slow to play in there as well IMO. I fear Klopp is too wise of a manager to play him centrally versus us.

Apparently, he's starting as the attacking midfielder tonight. Laughable given Southgate's comments about not playing players in certain areas when they don't do it for their respective clubs.

 

[Barcon]

I'll be watching Rico Lewis's debut.

 

[kippaxwarrior]

Walker
Lewis
Foden
Grealish

All start apparently

 

[kippaxwarrior]

who makes it all a big hoo-ha? As we saw Southgate uses him in a variety of attacking roles. so what's the problem.

but yes getting England to semi final WC ,Euros final and currently this year...

Played: 9
Won: 8
Drawn: 1
Lost: 0
For: 25
Against: 4

clearly he's clueless.

Think I can do a better job than the clueless Waistcoat.

My qualifications?

Around 5000 hours in Football Manager over the last 30 years

Hmm. Perhaps I underestimated Southgate. Fair enough.

Let's hope all the lads come out of tonight injury-free.

 

[Claytop]

Where’s he playing Rico tonight?…

LB?.. or he going 3CB with Walker

 

[Fordyboy46]

Waistcoat twat, four City players starting. No need at all. Delighted Rico is starting though

 

[GunnerGer]

Pitch is meant to be terrible out there as well. Hopefully all come back unscathed.

 

[Wretched Vengeance]

Apparently the pitch is quite dreadful, it's recently been relaid and hasn't knitted properly. Also said it's riddled with sand and small stones. Not arsed about the result, only that any City players involved come away unscathed.

 

[meeesh]

He does it all the time with City players, just like that fucking idiot Martinez last night playing Ruben and Bernardo in one of the biggest dead rubber games in recent history, pathetic

No we don’t go to number one we might squeeze past Brazil into third .

This team could play without a manager and be just as good. Tactics and substitutions are baffling and boring and waistcoat is uninspiring

 

[ninjamonkey]

News of a dodgy pitch. All city players who normally inexplicably find themselves on the bench, start. Delightful. This is the game you want the likes of captain Hendo to play.

Put kane in for Watkins and Bellingham for TAA and that's the midfield/attack that so obviously should be starting the euros, (and if bellingham is unavailable then any of 2 dozen better options than englands 5th choice right back in midfield) but we all know it won't be what happens.

Hope all thr city boys make it through unscathed and as many as possible are subbed as early as possible.
