I’m sorry that I misjudged your beloved City, but please God stop these niggly comments every time they win and play well. They are doing very well, contrary to my (an overweight school teacher) predictions... I hope Pep sleeps at night despite that. Not that it matters, but I am pleased they will win the league, I much prefer them to the alternatives. But, please, please, please forgive me for saying they weren’t as good as they are.

Touchy much. I didn't quote you in my post and it is not actually aimed at you, calm down sir!' Not my beloved City, I enjoy watching them as I have enjoyed watching Pep teams over the years.

Every win they get you need to reference the fact others have doubted them, even bringing up past posts. They’re great. Nice one. Please forgive me.

Say what you like about Grealish, who is a wonderful player, Foden is on a different level. Find a place for them both If Grealish performed regularly to the levels Foden reaches, pretty sure the media would calling or him to knighted by now.

fudge27 Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 Really really really hope we go 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1 at the euros. If Southgate shoehorn 5 defenders and 2 holding CMs into our team ill cry 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Southgate shoehorn 5 defenders and 2 holding CMs into our team ill cry I can understand why he went with a defensive approach in the last World Cup, the attacking midfield players we have now weren't ready at that time and he found a system that worked. I agree with you now though, it'd be really disappointing to see us pick 7 defensive players but I wouldn't bet against it sadly. Hopefully Dier will have dropped down the pecking order but he was still playing a back 3 in the last round of international matches. Maguire and Mings look certs, Stones will come back into the equation with his form and Keane got a run out last time. Henderson & Rice could easily be both in the team rather than one of the two and we will then be crying out for more of the attacking talent to get a chance. I don't think the goalkeeping situation helps as Southgate feels he needs to offer more protection. Pickford makes too many mistakes but Henderson hasn't been given enough opportunity to prove himself this season and Pope still seems to b behind Pickford in Southgate's reckoning.

fudge27 Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 Yea it's crazy, but seems to be reflective of most managers these days. More worried about the opposition. If we are paying Rice and Henderson then 4-2-3-1 offers more than enough imo. Would like to see Foden and Mount either side of Henderson or Rice in a 3 personally Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please forgive me. 17 wins in a row - of I did it every time they won you would now about it! Try not to dwell on it too much, its just opinions on a football forum, I said Pulis would at least manage to do a better job than Monk so what do I know!

NorfolkNChance Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 Pickford isn’t England standard either. Should have saved the third goal. Pope for me, couldn’t care less if he’s not as good with the ball at his feet he saves goals going in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He looks a real prospect and I think he'd be our Number 1 if he was getting regular football. Happy he didn't end up back at the pigs though!

markg Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 I'd go for Pope in goal too. I saw an interview with Ben Foster the other day and he was absolutely raving about him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pickford has regressed hugely and isnt even good enough for Everton let alone England Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ellis Rimmer Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 Amazing the depth we have, if you look at Saka who is a fantastic player he is probably about 6/7 down the pecking order What's happened to Mane? Liverpool should get Grealish in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alb1owl Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 No massive love for Liverpool, but what on Earth is that decision? Is refereeing fit for purpose in the professional game, it’s dreadful stuff and has been for ages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
