Optimistic Nut Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 Phil Jones needs to get himself a move away like. There’s a player in there, surely a West Ham or Burnley (not sure he’d go there with the Blackburn link mind) could save his career. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Froggy Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 Phil Jones needs to get himself a move away like. There’s a player in there, surely a West Ham or Burnley (not sure he’d go there with the Blackburn link mind) could save his career. Maguire, Bailly, Rojo and Tuanzebe were all injured so we were forced to play him, but his confidence is completely shot. I agree he needs to leave for his own good. Awful game for him to get a start in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paully Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 Man City seemed to take their foot off the gas 2nd half probably knowing a 5 or 6-0 would have led to Ole getting binned and a good manager replacing him! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

On Jones, he was signed for a reason, whether he's lost what he had I don't know but it's certainly easier to defend for a Burnley, Villa, etc. than a top team Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not CL quality but he’ll be good for a Europa League level club somewhere. Same way I think Jones for a mid-table club would do a job imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 Bramble did well at Wigan tbf hovering around mid-table. That’s the level I’m talking with Jones. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gallowgate End Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 Aston Villa are setup very well same formation shape as when we went and won there last season. Leicester/Rodgers left very frustrated. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Segun Oluwaniyi Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 Kelechi is one of my favourite youth prospects ever, tbh. I would love it if he rejuvenated his career, I had given up on the boy a couple months ago. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would love it if he rejuvenated his career, I had given up on the boy a couple months ago. Rodgers is bringing him back to form, which is fantastic to see. And so I think he's back on his way up now. Thank God. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
midds Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 Absolutely despise the way certain players just collapse as soon as any contact is made. Arm in the back, hand on the shoulder, faintest of shoulder on shoulder contact any every single time the player just throws himself to the ground and gets the free kick. It’s still a contact sport ffs. Grealish tonight has done it about 5 times but he’s not the only one. Any contact whatsoever and they just give in to gravity and the ref pays up each time. Piss-boiling and has been for a few years now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
midds Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 Tbf to Grealish he gets kicked all over the shop most weeks. He gets midfielders trying to tackle him yeah. He doesn’t get kicked all over the shop. No player gets has been kicked all over the shop for the last 20 years, the yellow for the tackle from behind all but cleared that out of the game ages ago. He goes down under any contact. Some of them are legitimate fouls but a lot are really really soft tbh Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

midds Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 Grealish is exceptionally good at winning FKs to alleviate pressure. I’d agree 100% but “winning” basically means collapsing under any contact at all and falling over the ball and relying on the ref to give a foul. Contact doesn’t equal a foul. To be honest Grealish et al aren’t to blame, it’s the spineless refs that blow every single time it happens that are to blame. Just fucking play on. Minimal contact and you’ve fallen over and lost possession? Tough shit, play on and get up. You’ve not been fouled, the defender has made contact with your shoulder. It’s not a foul, get on with it. I’ve used Grealish as an example tonight but it happens every game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That and the type of challenge that saw Vardy get booked tonight when in reality the defender actually kicks him to make contact and Vardy’s not made contact at all.
