Neil Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 (edited) 17 minutes ago, 54 said: Yeah, Lampard has done alright this season, realised his players are somewhat limited, and needed to shore up at the back to counters, so bought players to suite that game plan. Coady and Tarkowski are defensively solid if unspectacular CB's which you know you can rely on, and the fact they've conceded the least goals so far this season shows it's proving dividends. He's also done a bit of an Eddie and made sure everyone he's recruited are solid honest pro's, night and day to the recruitment of Gerrard who seems to have just gone after names without any semblance of a plan. Lampard > Gerrard Lampard gets a lot of stick for the whole "fight, passion, desire" stuff that he obviously went on about too much, but the point is he was right. We were utterly pathetic last year, now we're far harder to play against. So he deserves a lot of credit for doing something about our main issue, even if it was glaringly obvious. He's got a lot to prove still but there are clear signs he's going in the right direction. Still pretty turgid going forward but that will come with time.

Ikon Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 (edited) Looking forward to tomorrow nights game. A big game for both. Well looking forward might not be the best choice of words. Interesting nonetheless. Edited October 2, 2022 by Ikon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 Reckon Pep will be furious about conceding 3. The score makes the game seem more like it was end to end basketball as opposed to non stop domination. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiresias Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 (edited) i honestly think pep is privately really annoyed at having to play haaland, all his fancy tactics and formation tweaks and attacking patterns and it's all basically pointless now just hit it at haaland, if opposition sit deep launch it at haaland, if they push up knock balls behind for haaland he will always be there it's soooo easy I genuinely think he may have gone fuck it lets just have fun and don't care if we concede anymore Edited October 2, 2022 by Tiresias Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 What is it with these ex-pros and their refusal to let someone finish their sentence before barking their own opinions? We had to put up with it with Bruce, and Roy Keane is just as bad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some teams might get some lucky draws or even scrape a win, but City will walk this league for years now with this set up. The team is far too good. So much quality everywhere.

Paullow Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 Juventus vs Bologna Lens vs Lyon Portland vs LAFC None of them (that I have access to) look the most appealing to me, although will probably still have one on in the background. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

STM Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 Out of everyone in football, I dislike Gerrard the most. He's a nasty piece of work, who's been deified by scousers, despite asking to leave them when they were largely shit. Loads of pundits talk about "Stevie G" being the best English midfielder but Xavi talked about Scholes, who I totally agree, was a class above. Gerrard played for Gerrard, Gerrard is now managing for Gerrard. He has no interest in his players or at the club he manages. His only interest is getting the big games at his beloved Liverpool. I for one hope that he somehow lands that job because it will showcase his entire lack of brains or class. I'm actually starting to feel sorry for Villa fans.

Scotty66 Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 Just seen a clip of Haaland scoring the second for Man City, why was Erikson marking him on the corner? That has to be a mistake right and not what the game plan was?!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
