Thoroughly enjoyed that. There’s still work to do but Pep now has so many weapons and options to choose from. Cherki was unbelievable. Khusa and Nico G solid as fuck. Reijnders and Nunes were great second half. Good to see Stones back.
Personally I think Gundo/Akanji and to a lesser extent Bernardo were the weakest in terms of positive impact on the game. But Pep is going to use them if they stay. Lots of chat that second half team is the one that starts at Wolves. Am not convinced by that.
I'm not dismissing him, I know he needs time and games .... but in a few years time I would hope that we're watching a player who has really improved, and is helping to take us forward ..... and I'm sure France will be hoping for the same thing!OMG. You’ve not given him long have you?
That one and Cherki’s sitter in the first half were almost comicalReijnders
Team be something like the second half for me next week
Think pep will make sure Gvardiol and Foden are fully fit before starting.

I imagine the same goes for Cherki but you sound doubtfulI'm not dismissing him, I know he needs time and games .... but in a few years time I would hope that we're watching a player who has really improved, and is helping to take us forward ..... and I'm sure France will be hoping for the same thing!
You wouldn't have called Ronaldo, Rooney or Colin Bell 'great' when they first signed for United and City .... but they were all completely focused, they all put the training hours in, and they all were 'great' a few years later!
Because THEY wanted to be!
Yeah probably between Bob and Cherki on that side but he will take the Silva role once he leaves!I can see the back 4 being Nunes, Dias, Stones, Ait Nouri.
Personally I think Pep has to find a way to get Cherki into the team. He's already imo our most important player from a creativity POV. Reijnders is the box crasher but Cherki is the pure creative machine.
I imagine the same goes for Cherki but you sound doubtful
Still a strange post after such a short time. Why pick out Cherki?Not at all, I know Cherki has talent ..... and he can become an extremely important player for us ..... but HE has got to want to improve his own game, as all our players should be doing .... I don't want to be looking back at Cherki in five, ten years time, and thinking he could have been so much more if only he'd had the focus, the desire ... and what's more, neither will he!
But we'll give him time, and see how he goes ....
i'm ready :)Are we ready for a Catalan Keegan season?
I reckon we're gonna let a few in, but we're going to score more.
We could the most entertaining team in the PL next season in goals per game.
Only because he seems to be the player most people on this thread are mentioning , and he's a newcomer that has a big reputation ...Still a strange post after such a short time. Why pick out Cherki?
don't take this as an attack on the subject matter of what you post,I prefer Dias + Gvardiol mostly. I'm worried that Ait Nouri is a liability on defense. And I don't think that we have a true RB. Given all of this, I agree that Khusanov should probably start against pacy sides unless we somehow address the lack of pace on defense.
Lol, you remind of Brian Horton a bit, he had a kinda 'gung ho' approach to our play ..... he wasn't the least bit bothered when we went to Loftus Road and conceded three goals ... he just made sure City scored four!i'm ready :)
admittedly it was only one game against a lesser quality team,
but that was the impression i got...
fuck the boring shit,
let's just score more than the opposition and be done with it.
Hoping Pep has done some mad genius stuff and will come out with it next Saturday. He wouldn't want to play his hand last night. Surely he has to recognize our kryptonite of long balls over the top.We don’t seem to have learned from last season. Far too open and Palermo had chances early on to make us pay. Half decent sides like Brighton and Palace will target this

Are you joking?? A month or two ago Cherki was making the news as much as Wirtz was!He has no reputation from the outside it’s Wirts who has expectations because of the 120m fee and what he has done! No one was talking about Charki! Especially the media!
Post like these that to be honest are getting on my nerves! Support means support the team the player! Yep critique a player after a performance! But putting if buts maybes before he has kicked a ball in the premier is for me a start of a narrative! That the media love to start!

It was all over the newspapers, the forums ... have you been on the Moon?
