Chris Smalling, Alex Sanchez, Lukaku, and Ashley Young all the same, different football.
Koubaily will be destroyed week in week out in this league, the number of games alone will hurt him.
Does pep see foden as a midfielder? he plays foden LW and False 9 last couple of games
Yet Pep still doesn't trust him, shameful.Foden is someone I think should be given the chance. He's aggressive, quick and can already do the passing.
Chelsea have stumbled on Billy Gilmour in that role, very similar to Foden.
We could do a lot worse than look towards that Farmers League in France.
You know, the one that has the World Cup winners?
It's a fast, physical league with plenty of players hungry enough to want to better themselves and their salary.
Same goes for Germany.
Yet Pep still doesn't trust him, shameful.
Speaking on Ligue un Marseille CB Boubacar Kamara might be cheaper than Koulibaly, 20 years of age a really good defender can play out the back, Confident can see a team coming in for him in while for big money.
I really like him and know City have watched him.
On the showing of this season? Yes, I probably would.
There's no guarentee that what we've done in the past is going to be replicated again. Performances of the ilk which you set out above were few and far between this season.
Football is about adapting. We don't need to be making significant changes, but in my view Pep does need to be tinkering the way we setup in order to make us a more solid unit.
We may lose control over every game, but what good is that control if significantly worse teams can just pump balls into the channels on the break and make our £200m back line look clueless?
There's no guarentee that going out and spending another £120m on a couple of pacey CB's, another £40m on a LB and hope that these guys will fix the problems.
If you want to talk about the present, the 2 teams who play the highest lines in the PL are Liverpool and City.
And the team with the highest line in the CL is Bayern.
How do you know? ;)
You work at the club mate?
I really like him and know City have watched him.
One thing i forgot to say is hes fast, hes got abit of pace on him to catch wingers
Have you heard if we’ve been monitoring Upamecano?I really like him and know City have watched him.
High line is not a problem with an effective press. Look at us v real and Liverpool. Bayern the other night. When we have Jesus sterling and foden we are a machine. Our high line keeps the pressure at boiling point. If falls flat on its arse when we dont have the press.If you want to talk about the present, the 2 teams who play the highest lines in the PL are Liverpool and City.
And the team with the highest line in the CL is Bayern.
And it's working well for them.
Is it working well for us at present? No.
That may change and we might be able to get back to the same level with the right signings, but there isn't a guarentee that it will, and that's where my concern lies.
Haha. I’ve seen Upamecano half a dozen times and he’s been absolutely mustard each time.21 year old Upamecano has one good game against a super defensive side with a 31 year old past it Diego Costa leading the attack and automatically he’s the answer to all of problems. Hahah
Get real. Koulibaly is twice the player.
