It's not even our press which is the fundamental problem, even if the intensity of it isn't what is once was.

The problem is now the press from the other teams.

They have stopped doing it to us, allowing our backline to retain the ball and not create a spare man.

Rodgers admitted as much. Save their energy for the breakdown and hit hard and fast.

Stands to reason, our defence have been allowed to come out fifty yards from goal.

The fundamental reason also why Ederson is never in the game now, apart from picking the ball out of the net.

Our system won't change, but that's the nub of it.

Same with any decent big-hitting boxer, just be wary of their best shot and stay in the fight.

Then we have to be “boring” first 30 mins get ahead and then if we have to pass the ball between the back 4 for the next 60 mins so be it, if we had done that to Leicester we wouldn’t be talking about this now, we would be moaning about a boring game but a win. Arsenal did it in the FA Cup semi final and others have done it, the only team that comes at us is Liverpool and then we can play around them. If other teams don’t want to play like Rodri said then fuck them, let them sit 25 yards from their own net and do nothing.

Don’t know how reliable he is, but a couple ITKs + Sam Lee is hinting at a LB

Would be great, but most likely just a last week of window totally speculative guess. Nothing to lose with a claim like that, plenty (clicks) to gain.

Yep when teams used to sit off us under Mancini and Pellegrini we had peak Nasri, Silva and Toure who could hold it all day then break down a camped defence

Now we are void of ideas push it wide and cross it or hope for De Bruyne magic.

The tactics and players at the minute look like we should be set up 20 yards further back looking for space to break in to, rather than camped out in the opposition final third, all very strange

Is the club working on getting Zinchenko sold?

According to Sam Lee there are few offers on the table for Zinchenko. I think it's pretty obvious we need to move him on though and have no intention of playing him in his best position, therefore I doubt any of the offers represent the kind of fee we'd have hoped for.
