It's Quiet 18 - Wanna ring the bell?

We can argue about who's fault it is, but if you can come up with some tactics that will work with midfielders and forwards who won't run back towards their own goal I'm all ears.

Let's be honest, our current midfielders and forwards work rate off the ball is piss poor.

Our press is shit, our getting the ball back quickly after losing it is shit, and they don't run back to help the defence.

Sadly the Stockport Iniesta (not you) is as guilty as the rest.

And I'm only using him as a example.. they're all equally guilty and that's why the person we seem to miss most is Julian Alvarez who was amazing with his press.

We need 2 midfielders minimum this window.. otherwise I don't know how we get the ball back unless it's a goal kick or a restart after giving up a goal.
 
Summer is going to be a more active with the midfield ignings. We can forget any major signing this month. Pep's comment has lit the fire with the our current set of players to fight for their futures. Khusanov would be decent.

I remember Pep saying year's ago, if you don't run you don't play.

Not sure wtf happened to that but it needs addressing.

Hope your wrong mate as we are desperate for midfield and if no one cones then we are in for a real horror next few months .
 
Grealish has really scarred our board and they are totally hesitant on spending another 100 mil on a midfielder.

Makes me wonder who authorised the grealish buy because half the season Pep spends on reprimanding Jack on multiple things.

I bring Grealish because between him,Phillips and Nunes we have spend north of 200 million pounds with not one world class player or consecutive good performance multiple seasons from them lot.
 
Mine too but he should apply the same to himself (which to be fair I think he does). He needs to step up and stop using tactics that worked in the past but are no longer effective. He needs to beat this challenge by implementing something new.

Don't know he believes control possession is still the right way to go we just need players in to stop the 4/5 transitions a game what Rodri did or made it a lot less
 
Yet we’ll continue to see gundogan in midfield before any younger players and continue to start as firdt reserve.

Hes probably just talking about walker or he’s having a pop at Grealish.
Definetly Grealish, basically said Savinho is miles ahead of him, he will be gone in summer if someone will stump up for his wages. I think Walker is done as well just whether he goes now if we can get a replacement but summer he will be gone.

Someone can offer him a 4/5 year contract on 150k a week and we sell for 30/40 m that then is open to a spurs or Newcastle And Villa could afford
