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

I'd put Sterling back on the right and get a LW in.

Harrison looks decent at Leeds don’t suppose we can recall him?

I’d go KDB Foden and Bernardo. We will get mullered in the air but at least we will be mobile and show desire. Sterling left and god knows who right as Mahrez doesn’t work hard and is gutless (I know he is technically gifted but so was Nasri, very similar player/attitude) God knows who up top as well given we don’t have a fit CF. It’s a joke we are in this situation really.

Bit unfair on Nasri....he might have been a bit of a dick but he would put a foot in when needed and contributed a lot more with goals and assists when it mattered (when he wasn't being moody git).

Oh I agree Nasri was a better player by far

Just out of interest who was responsible for getting Yaya, DS, Kun and Dinho into the club?

Nasri was a bit of a goof but his ball retention was exceptional.

There's so many factors to why we don't look as threatening as we once used to, but the most obvious reasons are losing David Silva (a player who could control the play' well and dictate tempo of the game) and Sané (we have become slower, much, much slower, no more threat in getting behind with pace).

I would have this guy back in a heartbeat, great CEO, and he loved this club and put his head on the block for us, outstanding tenure and badly missed.

Stop playing Rodri.

I'd agree to that, but because be keeps it neat and has a physical presence in both boxes Pep won't see an issue with it, same as he does not see an issue with Gündogan, both good at ball retention, but playing as pivots their job demands so much more than to spray it sideways, they need to press properly and be defensively aware. Fernandinho helped Pep out so much in that regard, but Rodri has yet to learn or know that, idk who that is down to, because the first thing I'd assume he knew demanded from him is aggression and sniffing out danger (one of two main requirements of a lone defensive midfielder) and he lacks both.

Pivots??!
