Did you say that about Ranieri? Most of us did. I don’t fancy them either but sometimes a club suits the coach and the coach suits the club and staff. I remember Susan Whelan (of all people?) actually communicating to the fans on the radio asking us to trust them, anyone else remember communication?

I totally agree, shocking signing, too much for not much, however in this season, (which in my time watching City since 1970 has been the worst.) he will run close to being player of the season, that’s how bad we’ve been!!

The more I think about it, and the further away from Manager we go, appointing coaches who only seem to have half a say in transfers ( Ruud / Coulibaly??) , the more I think the money in wages should be going to a smart recruitment team? Let’s face it all these manager coaches know football and providing they get round pegs for round holes for a system, it should work whether its Appleton or Mourinho? Obviously I’ve not taken into account players egos and the show us your medals mentality, but once the goat leaves, who can say that.

He would have taken most of Havertz’s chances for Arsenal this season and that was a lot! Would be a good acquisition for United next season in the free transfer mould of Henrik Larsson or for the old ‘uns among us Arthur Graham. Just don’t ever want to see him against us, ever!

Not just the greatest Leicester striker ever, the greatest English striker in the last 30 too. Southgate didn’t realise you could play him with Kane!!!!!!

Shame, he was deceptive….. slower than he looked. And couldn’t trap a bag of cement.

Our fans are the same as all clubs fans in the country, passionate when things are going well. We should have gone up. Last year so subdued crowds expected promotion. It starts on the pitch though.

Proper full back, good on the far post and a nice left foot, just lacks a bit physically, sadly the lad who’s had the shirt all season lacks all of the above in spite of being a real trier.

Prime Ronaldo couldn’t make an impact 40 yards from a teammate all game!

I agree with everything you’ve said there. But wouldn’t it be boring to be a fan of any of those mentioned? Stumbling along in a league making up the numbers, and if the last two seasons are to be the norm not even an exciting relegation escape to break the cycle.

Well he does have Stones like qualities.

Twice, don’t forget Sunday.

Spot on. I remember the Boxing Day fiasco, I looked at the team sheet and thought, this is Steve Bruce’s team more or less , these ain’t beating us. Two nil down in no time against a team who ran the legs off us, as did championship Forest in the cup.

Yes and if Nyoni comes on the chant should be, Typical scousers you still haven’t paid!!

And he’d bang in 20 next season!

Imagine if the premier does become a closed shop due to promoted teams not being good enough. Brighton, Bournemouth, Brentford, Fulham, still in the top league!!!!!!! Geordies singing say hello to Sunderland, we should have sang say hello to three quarters of the league if size of club matters.

I agree, we were linked with Sean Longstaff a while back, and, though many on here would’ve turned their noses up would’ve been a great signing even in this league.

Everyone keeps using the term “manager”, the last manager we had was Pearson. The club seems to prefer a head coach, recruitment throwing players at them and saying, here coach him. None of them manage these days and the game is worse for it.

Whilst I think Dyche would be a great Pearson like appointment I fear that due to not losing anyone in the summer it could be that Martin would replicate last season ( yawn) with Enzo’s system. Back to square one on promotion though?

Pick on the winger. If you don’t feed them they look lazy.

Damaged but not ruined by taking KDH, yes, Enzo, no.

Couldn’t believe we loaned Nelson out having watched him last season on his rare appearances he looked class and a world apart from Faes etc.What were we waiting for he’s big enough and good enough on the ball, only playing top level will make him better !

Yes, first touch let him down a couple of times unusually but if you’re playing 352 or 343 where’s his partner/s? What was Daka doing ? Where was he supposed to be?

What can he do in this system. 50 yards away from nearest blue shirt! Still good for 15-20 in a good attacking side. Feel sorry for him.

Yes, but like us in the title season stats mean rock all.
