Love Johnny but looks lost in there. Prob not fit either.

Yeah i do too...a tough ask for his first game back to play as a midfielder.

 

[argyle]

We already have 3

That was the joke.

 

[Bigga]

Walker terrible looks more likely to assist them for a goal than us silva forgot he was playing not involved and akanji looks half arsed in tackles and passes

Walker needs an outlet in midfield.

He doesn't have that so is changing up his game and it's affecting him.

Get Phillips and kova on before they score and then we bring them on.

Kova and Nunes. We need players who can drive the ball forward. We currently only have Foden.

Nunes for Alvarez and Kova for Stones

Looks like we might not be in a title race this season if we can’t get our shit together soon.

Suppose it was going to happen at some point. Especially after a table campaign.

 

[Eccles Blue]

He asked to leave. End of story. No one gets guarantees.

Well said. No one holds City to ransom. Any player who doesn’t want to stay should go. It’s not as if City are a bad employer. Loyalty goes a long way in my book. JMHO

I half expected that half but saying that defensively we are doing better than what we have recentely been showing. Especially Gvardiol

It’s not over yet!

 

[Gabriel]

We sold the players of an age to be useful in the first team. The players left are far too young to join the first team. So there’s Rico and Bobb and that’s about it.

Indeed, which has been far from optimal planning. Guardiola has insisted on working with a small nucleus of higher-standard players, which culminated in last season’s glories, but it was always going to be the case that the intensity would take its toll. We’ll muddle through just now but one wonders how many more will go down injured between now and May.

I think we need to look at the transfer market in January, box to box midfielder desperately needed

 

[HolisticJim]

I'd put Scott Carson on in midfield before I sent that 1st half team back out again
