When you all lined up to be picked for sides at school, it would be the fat kid and Mendy being picked last.How can't Pep see how shit Mendy is.... I wouldn't put him near the reserves. He's so fucking bad.
He's attempted to defend for sure.I mean he has defended.
Pen for the rags,100%Did anyone else think Grsalish was fouled inside the box? I'd like to see that again. Surprised more was not made of it, but then again maybe not surprising.
Especially after having a word with him previouslyWhy did the Alty fan call over Tanganga & his captain rather than book him for his 7th foul? If he was on a yellow I could sort of understand it.
It’s a hard one, I know what you mean in terms of penetration and fluidity, however we control the tempo much more effectively which is reinforced by the results, less easy on the eye, undoubtedly but it’s a results game and this is more effective... that’s not to say a striker of Kane’s ability doesn’t evolve us again!
Becoming a bit of a stalemate, which happens with us when we fail to capitalise on early pressure, however we definitely have enough to turn up the gears and bring it home!Make sure no silly counter attack & I don’t see them scoring. Midfield needs a bit more composure
Don’t hold your breathlet’s see if Guardiola changes things
I completely disagree with your last sentence, Sane's first touch was infinitely better.Do you think charity 5 a side is comparable to elite level professional football? FFS.
Pros all have a good touch but to get more consistency in your ball control you need training, fitness (physically and mentally) and momentum. I'll agree Sterling will never have the first touch of Mahrez, Foden or Grealish, but it is still above average (better than Sané's was at City).
At times ..I mean he has defended.
obsessed much about razI didn't think we looked too bad.
Up front is what is killing us, not converting possession and chances.
Hopefully we will get Kain and just revert Sterling back to being a winger.
Too much of our play breaks down with him losing possession running down blind alleys.
Gwt him back to hugging the touch line and crossing.
Sometimes successfully in fact! I know it hurts to give him credit but you have to sometimes if you want your criticisms to have weight.He's attempted to defend for sure.
