Ake is a squad player who does a good job. Alvarez was a quality young player that wasn't replaced. Grealish is never £100mil, Akanji was bought as a good squad player, Gvardiol fine we can wait and see but saying Gundogan's return has been anything but a sad sight to witness is hilariousTop quality players from this list:
Ake
Dias
Grealish
Alvarez
Haaland
Akanji
Gvardiol
Gundogan
Savinho and Doku too early to tell, they have potential for top quality for sure.
Torres been great business. So been Kovacic and Gundogan return.
In short - you have made one of the worst substantively posts ever. Congratulations
Shite really but not unexpected at this point
Also, id rather start one of the young lads out of the academy than Gundo now. He's shot to bits. He'll always be respected for his time here but he's finished.
I'd rather start someone who can at least put themselves about a bit.
Couldn't agree moreThe team was always going to have a drop off at some point.
Our team just won 4 titles in a row. That's never been done before.
The players have run themselves into the ground achieving it.
As well as being knackered, injuries have decimated us.
We've lost the best player in the world. Tell me a team that this wouldn't affect?
Pep hasn't fucked up this season at all. It's astonishing that anyone would use such language about the best manager we've ever had.
So yes, you're flapping.
We can't win every single year.
It's a shame that instead of supporting this team, given what they have done for us, many on here have turned on them instead.
A spark to get a few results going and a platform to build from. Juve's keeper made a brilliant stop and if that went in who knows what would have been the outcome. It is fine margins this season for us. Especially the Sporting Lisbon game where we collapsed after having plenty of chances to kill the game. We lost both Ake and Akanji in the Forest game where we looked like we were defensively sorting things out in that game.We 'won couple of weeks ago" and 'may win a game on Sunday" doesn't sound like we're still in a title race.
I’m of the opinion that no player at this level is crapThose are fair enough points.
Much better than some going through every player and saying they're crap.
Maybe not single out anybody but ffs.. he doesn’t need to say he’s proudHe won’t hang the players in public.
We’ve managed to put together the slowest smallest and least physical / athletic team in both the PL and CL.
Said a month ago that December would see the chickens come home to roost with this car crash of a season. Gonna get a whole lot worse before it gets better !
Injuries are a reason. The club isn’t useless in the market. Gundo didn’t return to play every game. Top players won’t move to sit on the bench and what was the club supposed to do, fuck Stones and Ake off and slot in some other outstanding defender?It's not the price you pay for winning 4 on the trot.
We brought Gundogan back this summer because the club are fucking useless in the market. Whether that be penny pinching or their inability to buy any quality player without a release clause.
You can't use injuries especially to Stones and Ake as excuses. They are always injured. In nearly 10 years how many times has Stones played more than 40 games a season?
That is not the planI really think that may be the plan ? why keep being in the Champions League is we are not good enough to win it
The bigger picture is the bread and butter in the league right now and getting a top 4 place
We never looked like wanting to win tonight, right from the kick-off it was ok just ghost and get it over with
