It's Quiet thread 14 - 'do one' edition

[Neville Kneville]

Feels this morning like the left back situation is dead. Window done barring an about face from Zinchenko.

Cheers.

So he's our Jesse Lingard for the season then.

To be brutal, that is absolute horse shit. To suggest that many dippers wour usurp our players is comedy gold

Very strange things being said in this thread right now.

Ah fuck.

Yes. And what is annoying is that he has the offers to fuck off and he knows that City would politely like him to go so they can sign a LB. But word is he doesn't want to leave.

By missing sitters. You just know that when it'll count he will not make it count.

Last minute winners don't count. Ah, ok. Prefer to be pissed off some more as he is one of the first names on the team sheet and rightly so.

Some of the replies in this thread about how we will do this season are a little hysterical.

We had 1 glaring issue last year and that was CB and it has been well and truly fixed.

Ferran is going to be one of the best forwards in the league by May.

This side is already 12-15 points better than last season.

You're kind of right.

We didn't have one glaring error, we had 2. We bought Rodri to fix the first one and then we made a balls of the defensive line by putting Dinho in there.

As a result, we ended up with 3 issues. Suddenly we were terrible at centre back and our left looked a lot weaker.

So, let's assume Ake and Dias coming in fixes the first issue, that doesnt neccessarily mean we fixed our first error.

Rodri has to deliver massively and the signs so far say he isn't up to it without a second DM in there.

His comments post Leicester should terrify us, basically moaning that we didn't try kill that game by constantly passing in the back once 1-0 up. That's against the entire ethos of Pep ball and you wonder why he'd openly say that. He hasn't fit yet, so for me we still have a glaring issue there.

Let's not forget also that our left back issue generally isnt one if Fernandinho is in there. Zinchenko and Delph have played great in there. You take Dinho out, Rodri doesn't give them anywhere close to the support.

So yes, Dias if he fits in goes a long way to helping, but it would be foolish to think we don't still have issues.

Any idea if this is to do with wages more so than foreign spots? As I understand it we have one open.

Our fault for giving him a fat contract. He's pulled this shit before.

Presuming you're talking about playing the City way then there is no debate whatsoever about Eddie or Alison, it's Eddie all day long. In fact you could include every goalie in the world in the debate and there still would be no debate.

I guess if you're choosing a combined team you are not looking specifically to play the City way or the Liverpool way but a way that suits the combined players.
Looking at it dispassionately it must be acknowledged that the team that has the option of both is Brazil and they stick with Alison. Two excellent goal keepers and no question who is the better distributor though,

Its about Pep not wanting a redundant player in the squad. Bad for morale.
