Tiresias

I am going to foolishly go on the record that we will see him on the left and howe will have him and trippier swap sides multiple times through games to confuse the opposition. I do not know if this is s good idea mind.

Rumour was schar cover/competition and then done

I mean...he is french...

Fucking awful craic that

I would like a madisson type too to be fair mainly as a lot of terms are going to line up with two banks of four behind the ball against us and I'm worried about us scoring in those games when we can't break into space

We'll definitely see more 'false centre backs and full backs' like stones and taa as more teams try and overload the middle. These definitely seem designed to benefit a team that expect to be dominating a game, it's a way of getting a player like stones to be impacting a game when man city are dominating posession up the pitch where they would otherwise be sitting at the back waiting for the rare opposition foray. I think the answer when one team is gaining dominance by piling more bodies into the middle of the pitch is always width, try and bypass the midfield overload.

Allure Homme Sport?

It winds me up, even when tindall does it, just what do you hope to achieve getting in ref's face? I'm sure it does work to some degree, get the odd call after cos ref doesnt want the hassle but it's just grown men acting like babies half the time. I used to like Klopp but even disregarding the crap he spouts about other clubs less apparently noble than Liverpool his touchline manner is absolutely disgraceful

(on man city's rotational fouling) It's because if you keep the ball well enough you know you will get countered on, but it may be only 6 or 7 times a game and not every foul is going to be a yellow so you may only get 3 or 4 yellow cards out of it anyway. It's cynical but i dunno if anyone really wins anything without that side to the game tbh.

In fairness one is generally against the opposition in football (nb i do know how it is meant to be read i am just being a prick)

Did he play in that game for Ukraine yesterday? Also finally caught up to that 2-0 goal lol leeds

Was going to say this pubs sky must be well behind...

Do they not still have bamford? If fit (huge if) he's a perfectly decent championship striker, just like gayle unable to replicate it in premier league

Oh i meant first time round when he has years left on contract. He could surely push through transfer this time like that

Terrible static defending from Leeds there

Signing the contract was the stupid bit, what is Kane to do then down tools? He's get roasted and still with no guarantee of moving as levy may well have kept him regardless. You sign a dumb contract you live with the consequences hard to be sympathetic he still is clearly first on the England teamsheet and banging them in for spurs. I imagine levy would sell if he had something lined up for a proper replacement but they are hard to come by...

Tbh I'm kinda dreading the days when it's all media managed superstars earning mega bucks. I know he's not good enough to win the league with but i love miggy and love this squad they feel human still

I am wondering if the plan is with a new CB heavily rumoured to be last target if Howe is thinking about going 3 at the back considering that has been trialled in the preseason but it's not clear who the left wing back could be if it isn't tino or tripps out of position as both can play there even though its sub optimal. I don't really see Burn as a wing back at all. the benefit would be if they both can do it if you play both they can switch wings throughout the game to confuse the opposition, which is very howe. Look at joelinto and willock switching between midfield and left wing a lot.

I just hate the whole transfer circus it's all blown up out of proportion to be part of the "entertainment package" when in reality it's the stupidest bit and i worry the crazy fees are becoming unsustainable and there is a reckoning down the line

With a certain inevitability

He's not an obscure player ffs

I hear they've made a bunch of triathletes ill from their toxic fumes

tempted tbh

Klopps style high press from Dortmund
