Definitely need a proper striker. I would sell Stirling in the summer, hes too inconsistent imo. Foden needs to play deeper. Not his greatest game today but he isnt a no 10.
Exactly, we drop 2 points but nothing changes, just the faint whiff of hope ultimately dashed away either by us or themselves.No guarantees that the red scousers win the two games in hand ( they need too) but absolutely no guarantees,draws are in a sense defeats for them,saying that I expect them to win both but football is a funny old game ..
Big call? It’s fucking moronic in every sense of the word.BIg call that.
But I agree he's not been at his best this season. Had more impact and was more dangerous last season?
hes been playing upfront mostly. he wasnt last season.BIg call that.

A few sleepers being activated, I suspectBig call? It’s fucking moronic in every sense of the word.
A fair few of our fanbase are puddled.
Foden. Gave away the goal and did absolute nothing.which one grealish or sterling, I remember Stirling missing a sitter put on a plate for him by Foden. Ans missing the easiest of passes. Grealish did his usual swanned around passed but ultimately created little, perhaps one day he will have a man of the match performance.
Finally somebody else sees this shit! The same teams and the same tactics is causing us problems, it's Pep's weak point right now.they have tactically figured out the false 9 system and exposed our lack of focal point. they press entirely differently to anyone in our league, they press more like a midtable spanish side. they don't high press at the same time they don't drop back. they block the middle of the pitch instead and prevent the ball progressing through the middle. at the same time they do not press our full backs and instead mark our wingers. the way to beat this is to use our fullback for crossing to a focal point in the middle or to directly play of a striker and have late midfield runners. we had neither today. we would have easily won today if we had a big striker in the middle in my opinion
Silly post, we are far more dangerous with him in the team than without.This Foden love in has to stop, he needs to up his game massively or he's never going to fulfill his potential, he's starting to believe the hype and its not helping him, at the moment I think Cole Palmer will surpass him
