Away Toon Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 Foden is a much better player than Grealish in the wide left position, so why did they buy Grealish again? Can't see where else he's going to play and be effective. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fantail Breeze Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 Man City not buying a striker was a decision that’ll cost them the league imo. Not buying Kane, they should’ve picked up someone else. Even taking a punt on someone would’ve been better than trying to play a season without one.

Bit of an odd comment after they've just scored twice at Anfield. They did win the title without a striker last time out. They're now two points off top having already been to Spurs, Leicester, Chelsea and Liverpool. Ominous stuff. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 City, Chelsea, Liverpool and Man United being the top four is almost as boring as Norwich, Newcastle, Burnley and Southampton being the bottom four. Throw Watford into the mix and uts probably about par for most predictions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not an odd comment at all, with a proper striker they would have won yesterday. It may seem like a point earned because they came from behind but they should have been out of sight by halftime. Same as the CL game with PSG and the PL game with Southampton, they’d have won both of those with a decent striker. Over the course of a season they’ll have more and more games like those three, which will ultimately cost them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't watch the Southampton or the PSG game, but they put up 86 points without a striker last time out. They've also had 100 and 99 points seasons missing Aguero for half a season. I think they'll be fine, it's familiar territory for them. That's not to say a striker couldn't take them to an even higher level though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not quite sure if I share that opinion after watching them play closely this weekend. City have become a goal chance creating machine. A big part of this is that they are playing 5 technically proficient midfielders and a roaming striker like Jesus which means they are able to overload the opposition defense. Their floating midfielders are also very difficult to mark out of games when they are in full flow. Yesterday, Milner was in trouble against Foden. Normally we would move Matip or Henderson to back up Milner and help him out. But we couldn't because then that would take the attention away from Grealish and De Bruyne who could do the damage. If they had a traditional striker like Aguero, I don't think they could have created that setup or they wouldn't be able to create so many chances. Anyways, City were very impressive yesterday. Gave us a footballing lesson at times particularly in the first half. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think last season they benefited from Liverpool having the season they had, Chelsea struggling with Lampard and Ole being Ole So no serious competition from Feb onwards meant they coasted without any real pressure I do think lack of striker will ultimately hurt them come the end of the season Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 (edited) Just looked at Man U’s next 4 league games. If Ole gets through that with 8-9 points he’s done cracking. Pressure will be on if they lose at Leicester. Edited October 5, 2021 by Optimistic Nut Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
