Media Thread 2020/21

[Ban-jani]

Yeah Foden only intercepted Alisson’s pass, went past 2 players, kept his composure and found Gundogan, because City have better players.

He only picked the ball up out wide and drove at the defence, smashing it past the keeper, because Sterling was waiting on the other wing.

Crooks is a crook and is stealing a living.

 

[Centurions]

The second paragraph is so incredibly patronising:

At the moment Foden, as was the case against Liverpool, puts the finishing touches to fine team performances, leaving the grown-ups such as Gundogan and Sterling and De Bruyne - when fit - to break the bow of the opposition. He's young and has time but he's not ready to take over from the adults just yet.

Apart from being wrong. Its disrespectful

PMSL, I've just read that nonsense. So to be MotM at Anfield, average players just need to be surrounded by better (or adults in his words) players? Surely by that logic (not a word usually reserved for Garth), one of the better players should be MotM?

I'll bet the Liverpool fans aren't happy about his piece on Sterling either.

...and reminded everyone why he left Liverpool for Manchester City in the first place.

It wasn't only about winning trophies, although the Premier League title is almost certainly heading back in the hands of Sterling and his team-mates, but also about becoming a better player.

"believed to be high in their thinking" who believes this???? As usual this looks to be just made up, any good player could be linked to our club

"Linked" means "a journo made up a story yesterday."

It seems that there will soon be more media impetus on the 'Stop City' campaign than given to 'Stop Covid'.

The FA found 2 vaccines for City a lot quicker than the discovery of the COVID vaccines..... VAR & PGMOL

 

[stan bowles]

I’d be quite happy if Southgate ignores him completely tbh.

You can imagine Foden joining up with an England squad and thinking to himself "the coaching and the players here are a level below what I'm used to at City".

Pep Guardiola ‘did not hesitate to hire’ Nicolas Jover for Manchester City – Frenchman key on set-pieces​

The report is from Sports Witness. Anyway, this is the first sentence:

“Manchester City is often seen by the European sport media as a good example of how a football club should be run”.

I had to read the article to see if they were taking the piss. It’s so ingrained now when reading anything city related to immediately assume it’s a negative article.

 

[Didsbury Dave]

Pretty much all media outlets have been talking non-stop about Foden since Sunday. Great to hear and I'm sure he will keep his feet on the ground.

 

[TheCentralScrutinizer]

"Linked" means "a journo made up a story yesterday."

a bit like "sources tell me"......

 

[Francis Crawford]

Phil says it all when he said it’s harder to score in training than it is in the premier league!

Match of the Day and This Week`s Media Non Headline

Having watched Sunday`s MotD2 I had images of the draw, Klopp`s 1-1 game. Yet even so despite this outcome, City were still top, 7 points clear of Liverpool, with a game in hand.

On checking the results, it was not 1-1 after all. In fact, 4 goals to one and a gifted penalty to Pool for their solitary score. Furthermore, we were actually 10 points above them and had not drawn after all.

It then became clear that Gundog had scored more goals at Anfield in 2021, even with him trying to pick out one of the stewards in the Kop with his penalty kick, than the entire Liverpool team.

Then I saw the screaming headlines on the back page. Klopp highlighting the fact Pool now had a weeks` rest before they are due to play Leicester who are involved in the FA Cup this week, playing late on Wednesday and early on Saturday. Oh, hold on.

It`s been a tough few days for the media.

 

[stonerblue]

I know everyone knows Garth Crooks is a know nowt but he's outdone himself on his team of the week. Picked Foden for his team of the week but then wrote:



So Foden is only good cos he plays for City and Maddison, Mount and Grealish are better than him. Bwhahahaha.

Complete and absolute bollocks there.

I will ask Garth, or indeed anyone, to show me one league game this season where Grealish has influenced the game more than Foden has (in several games).

garth crooks team of the week

the best quote bar none i have ever read hahahahahahahaah


Foden: I have selected Phil Foden in my team of the week but I must confess I do not see him being ahead of Jack Grealish, James Maddison or Mason Mount. He is undoubtedly talented but at Manchester City, he is surrounded by better, more gifted players. How can he not flourish

Who made Garth Crooks' team of the week?

Whose defending was magnificent? Who answered his critics with an excellent performance? Find out in Garth Crooks' team of the week.

HAHAHAHA.

That is the last time i ever take Garth Crooks even half seriously ever again.

Quite literally one of the most delusional pieces of football analysis i have ever had the displeasure of reading.

 

[gordondaviesmoustache]

Garth Crooks is an embarrassing fat ****.

 

[pauls]

It seems that there will soon be more media impetus on the 'Stop City' campaign than given to 'Stop Covid'.

Yes it's so predictable, our old mucker and so called journalist Master Bates at the pre match conference iasked Pep f he would consider this years title a great achievement should we win it, given the circumstances, no crowd, covid, etc,etc.. I'm sure if his beloved Stratford Rangers win it he'll be masturbating all over it. Like the vast majority of the media a total arsehole

Is it hate or bitterness or just that he's clueless about football?

I like it when you lower yourself to my level.

 

[Claytop]

I don’t think it’s bitterness as he’s fine about Gundogan and even has a go at Liverpool when talking about Sterling.

I think he just talks nonsense the majority of the time.

Any of those players voted players of the tournament u17 World Cup or us that cos he played with Ryan Brewster.

 

[Woody2792]

Phil completely changed the game, set up 2 and scored a cracker...but yeah the rest of the team must have been carrying him. Fuck off Garth you fat dosser.

Even better is Spitty on MNF saying Liverpool should have invested this season in defence, midfield and attack because they're all weely weely tired :'( Forgets to mention the 2 centre backs, Thiago and Jota they brought in though....
