Foden and Haaland totally anonymous so far

that’s why Walker is so important to City

https://fbref.com/en/players/c3cf087d/scout/365_m2/Yankuba-Minteh-Scouting-Report When you compare how he is performing compared to other wingers in the 14 leagues outside the top 5 it's absolutely ridiculous, mind. He excels at pretty much everything (he's even 99th percentile for tackles won in a team that averages 61.6% possession ffs ); with his weakness being that he gives the ball away a lot.
-
I've said it before but I really like the way he controls the ball and squares up to the defender in a way that makes it look like he can go either inside or outside. Something you see top wingers like Saka do, and obviously he has that ridiculous acceleration to go with it. I think his decision making will be frustrating in the PL but he's still only had like less than 2 years of coaching in Europe I think? Hopefully he will improve in that regard quickly. I think we'd be daft not to have him in the squad next season given our right wing options currently. He has arguably already played to a higher level than both Murphy and Almiron this season.
-
really, really like Murillo. Exactly the right profile for us - could play CB or LB, and would be much better playing in a pressing/proactive team than for a passive team like Forest.
-
how do these terrorists keep getting away with it, man
-
A decent player scores that
-
Diaz is nowhere near good enough for Liverpool imo
-
right foot for both the assist and the goal? He looks like a really bright talent tbh
-
given that Spurs haven't had any Europe to contend with and they went out of both cups pretty much as early as possible yet they're still only 5th in the league, I find the wankfest over Postecoglu more than a bit tiresome to be honest. Would be nice to humble them at SJP again.
-
Obviously he needs a lot more development but in terms of profile Miley is the right kind of player to play with those two imo. Let Bruno and Tonali do the bulk of the defensive work and Miley is there to play the final pass in more of a Maddison role.
-
extremely clinical player. Just feels like if you can get him the ball within 12 yards of goal it’s more likely than not to result in him creating or scoring.
-
I feel like there's something wrong with our defensive structure where we regularly leave our full backs isolated 2 v 1 if the opposition attacks with both full backs, mind. Burn, Trippier, Hall and Livramento have all had tough games because of it. Doesn't happen in the left back area as much when Joelinton is in the team, and I'm sure Longstaff and Almiron were both better at getting back to help last season too.
-
Hall was at Chelsea from being 8 years old
-
we need to make stuff like that from Ben White a straight red card
-
bit confused as to why he's never played in midfield given that he clearly looks much more like a midfield player than a defender, but I do like his qualities on the ball. Needs an awful lot of 1v1 work if he's to play full back long-term though.
-
I think that's absolutely absurd. Lamptey clearly got the ball Like honestly, it's well dodgy.
-
that can't be a penalty, surely
-
Terrible today but he's now started 13 games of which we've won 9, drawn 2, lost 1 this season. 6 wins, 2 draws and undefeated in the premier league.
-
his head doesn't seem in it at all. Doesn't seem interested at the moment for whatever reason.
-
Has really seen us through the last three games. Happy for him.
-
They have managed to make a lot of entries into our box from his side unfortunately. Been a bit exposed.
-
ah man, that's an easy finish Tony
-
you're welcome Bruno
-
Presumably Burn should've jumped with his arms down by his side or something
