I replied to this in KDB thread bloke was sat two rows behind me!!! Absolute disgrace of a fan… I get he gave the ball away but what followed was unacceptable.. I agree walker has been poor and was poor today and I’m not surprised if he was to leave I think it might be the best for all parties at the minute as his confidence is shotA fan, yes.
A bloke got up when Walker gave the ball away trying to pass to McAtee and lost it with Walker. Started calling him ‘****’ this and ‘prick’ that. The players heard the fella and De Bruyne started shouting at him, as did a number of fans around him who backed the players.
The bloke didn’t even care. Just carried on calling him a prick after he sat down.
Rico had a decent game today, much improved.Page 10 before Rico gets mentioned
All the Rico haters if you feel you have to hate.move on to Walker and Pep for bringing Walker on. CTID
None of them ideally.Pep makes some baffling moves, but has also shown a stubborn side. Jack starred for England in CM, & played well against Forest (I think) when we played him there.
In Pep's mind, Jack makes us a 4-1-4-1 with him being an additional CM, but on the wing. When we're dominating, Jack helps keep control, but he lacks the cutting edge needed against the usual armour plated defensive walls we face most matches.
Who'd you rather play CDM, Grealish, Gundog or Nunes?
It's not just Grealish suffering from indifferent form, it's the whole team & it's become infectious.None of them ideally.
I just think something is not right with Grealish this season. I don’t think his relationship with Pep is great at the moment as he isn’t in the team much. The Forest game he played well but for me that was more to do with De Bruyne making space and if you watch the Forest game back, he did absolutely nothing for 25 mins. The next game in Europe (Juve) he was rubbish.
Played well first half Villa but completely invisible second half. It’s this inconsistency that stops him being a regular.
I don't think we need 40 points tbf.It seems to be mostly a mental issue. The players are doubting themselves and slowing their thought processes down and then making poor passes.
The second goal was a thing of unbelievable beauty. The move, KDB and Foden to Savinho was a wonderful pattern of play and it sparked a better period for us. Savinho’s assist as sublime too. Probably in my top 10 favourite ever.
Then, second half, we started off really well and pressed really well. Went 4 up and then the changes…
Hopefully this gives Pep the extra nudge, if he needs it, to buy some sort of right back cover as Walker’s head had gone as well as his pace.
Same with Ilkay too sadly.
Good signs though from Foden, Haaland and Savinho. Thought Rico did fine too.
2 more wins and we hit the magical 40 point mark and safety. Charges permitting!
Even after we’ve been deducted 800?I don't think we need 40 points tbf.
Amortisation means it’ll be spread over 20 years though, so only 40 a season.Even after we’ve been deducted 800?
100% was good in there against forest. We definitely do need to buy someone who’s solid defensive though we are too easy to play through at the momentGrealish could do a job there I reckon.
