What a tit he is.

Did fuck all in the game and was a journeyman.

What the fuck were those glasses he had on before?

Agreed KDB needs rest. Personally after the anxiety and frustration and even anger at playing shit to great teams completely off the park for 80 mins only for them to score with their only attempt at leaving their own half doing us with a sucker punch I've craved this sort of team for a while now.

This is how we will win the CL come the second half the season when hopefully our players are fitter than the start of the season. We'll win it with this solid defence. We won't ever win it the way we've been going about it no matter how exciting and beautiful that was to watch.

We've been spolit. We have a new team. It's time to start being more solid and pragmatic.

A diamond in a sea of dogshit this post.
 
What I will say is this- if Pep can be this pragmatic in the latter stages of the Champions League and the defence is as solid, we will win the CL.

As it happens I am lead to believe there are several bondage freaks amongst the more regular posters, if you could add some gimp suits and arse less leather chaps to your range of wares you could be onto a winner.
 
I know this probably is going to sound like nonsense and don’t shoot me for saying it lol but is there a possibility we play better as a team without kdb?

hear me out , de Bruyne is no doubt our best player , for me he’s the best player in the league .He’s amazing and has been a brilliant player for us .
But thinking back to the 18/19 season de bruyne was injured for pretty much 80% of the season if I remember correctly , and we were more than fine without him , I’ve seen posters alluding to the fact foden can’t play in the centre with him and Bernardo can’t either .

It’s probably rubbish like I said , but would be interesting to see if he was out for a month or so how we’d get on on his absence, de bruyne kind of looks like he has a free role when he plays to me , he pops up everywhere ,coming deep , moving over to the right, always looking to make the killer pass , maybe without him the team is slightly more balanced?

The issue is though he is head and shoulders our best player , so we try and build the team around him can’t see that changing while he is fit and available.
And tbf in 17/18 when we hit 100 points the midfield triangle of kdb Silva and Fernandinho was the best midfield I’ve ever seen at city and the best I’ve ever seen in the premier league .
So yeah probably talking rubbish but is a thought that has popped up recently.

It's not as crazy as it sounds. I have always thought Bernardo shines more when KDB is not on the pitch. But they are both brilliant players. Perhaps the answer is to give KDB more of a rest and have a bit more rotation. We will need them both this season as we will, as usual, play 60 plus matches in all competitions.

We won our last league game before today 1-0. The goal was entirely down to Sterling doing as good a run as you will see in Europe all season.

pace, tricky and skill.

No it wasnt...walker scored the goal assissted by KDB against sheffield. In fact there were multiple passes from others before it ended up with walker. It was effectively naff all to do with sterling go watch the highlights.

As to your question of replacement thats premature, however i dont for a second believe he is thriving on the left and i never have since he's played there(even stretching back to his awful spell on the left under pellers). Far better on the right. But regardless of position simply not clinical enough for a team with a more "pragmatic approach".

The stats on amounts of squandered chances bear this out. Anyone not viewing through rose tinted spectacles need only watch the lad. He can be a good player, but we need GREAT players with consistency to afford to sit off more and expect to win games(especially the big ones). He just isnt clinical and anyone arguing that simply must not have watched him very close in recent years, or tallied the amount of wasted chances directly involving him.

As i said previously imo the key issues are left back(mitigated beautifully by cancelo yesterday might i add), rodri position(specifically with gundo on the field), wingers who dont seem to threaten nearly enough thanks to the cutting in of everyone on either wing, and striker...be it through injury or lack of goals. In terms of the striking role, if it was something of an issue when we played wide open creating many chances, how bad could it be playing this more defensive style?

Something is simply not up to snuff when it comes to the final third, which pep himself specifically said WASNT his job when he joined.
