Match Thread | Barcelona vs Man City (24/08/22)

[grim up north]

I'm not bothered by that, I'm bothered by the fact that the guy doesn't even try, he doesn't do anything on the pitch, he just jogs and walks and slows the game down. He has nothing to do with Rodri's level!

Lol

Fucking hell , Phillips starting a friendly game and there are "fans" piling on , he's looked neat and tidy always wants the ball , not expecting Hollywood passes from him ,he wasnt brought into the club for that.
Not like a bluemoon matchday thread to start writing a player off in his first game after just 45 minutes.

 

[discopop]

it is him. Does all the City commentary now. Lives in Prestwich. Speak to him now and again.

I don’t tend to catch much on the app but just feel he needs a bit less is more at times.

Right now:

Phillips < Fernandinho
Gomes < Zinchy
Ortega > Steffen
Julian & Palmer > Sterling
Haaland > Jesus

But.. All of the players listed on the left, have time to improve and progress

Let’s wait

Mahrez is the best at that. I know, I know.

As Mandy Rice Davies famously said:

"You would say that, wouldn't you?"

;-)

To be fair it's his first game, his fitness levels won't be where they should be yet

So my firestick crashed and won’t reset but playing fine on my laptop what the fucks going on city.

City + working fine and only £1.99 a month , would recommend it :)

I forgot Palmer.

He had a few small mistakes, but other than that, has looked really good at progressing play.

Interesting that Pep plays him as the #10 behind the striker rather than on the wings, perhaps he wants the natural goal scorers more centrally, or perhaps its a circumstance of needing to play Mahrez so its the only option.

I’m not sure he’s directly comparable to mahrez, although I can see why people say that. I reckon he’ll be a serious goal threat in a season or two, just has to work on his composure in front of goal.

50 million for Torres was some deal on our part. Absolute nothing player.

I worker what barca fans think of him
