I know that we've only signed two players, but i think they are going to surprise us Ake looked solid for Netherlands so much that Poland had to attack the other side during the game. Ferran torres is special that finish in the spain game was brilliant, hes not afraid to take players on and has that burst of speed but skill as well. he dosent run like a headless chicken either he uses his brain always looking for the pass / cross. His vision is excellent as well
Yes, it was just a cheeky comparison for those two. Teams have already admitted they are now actively looking for Ederson being far from his line when City are in possession and we are trying to force the issue.
United, Southampton - even the Lyon second-half goals are limiting him to a one-on-one spread because our defenders are racing 20 yards to chase back in.
Very few teams are now trying to close Eddie down inside the box, our triangles and overloads have become a thing of the past in the main, certainly when it comes to playing out from the back.
We have two static midfield anchors who aren't brave enough to drop into the hole and that allows teams to just sit back and let us become compressed and pass sideways.
Opponents are deliberately flighting passes between our centre-backs and the left-back, knowing Walker will probably have the pace to get back and recover most of the time on the opposite flank.
If we defended deeper, we could rely a lot more on teams coming on to us and if the ball does break down in transition, we have it covered.
We either have to buy proper legs for the midfield or defend a little deeper (the latter would be my preference) as we are devastating on the counter and it gives Sterling and Torres their own opportunities to stretch their legs in behind.
Pep ain't gonna do either :(
Ive bought a purple dildo just in caseWhat's the chance of the greatest deadline transfer day in history?
Messi's interview worked a treat, Barca fans attacking the board in their comments, calling themselves prisoner FC some fans are actually attacking him with comments cant belive that one, most of the fans saying freemessi. Tolmie might be on to something. I dont want to get hopes up to be dissapointed again, but there could be something in this.
Anyone for a loan move for Luca Jovic?
