Probably easier to just show this even if you're double vaccinated.... 😂

He can also prove his worth in training. In early 2019, Iheanacho missed 5 match day squads in a row, including our 9-0 win against Southampton. But in training he kept working hard and applying himself. Eventually he got given a chance as a sub against Everton where he played out of his mind and scored the winner. Brendan himself said that Nacho didn't get disgruntled or upset and kept proving himself behind closed doors. He did it again last season when his goals saved our season.

 

Now we've got a deep squad, there should be competition for places. If you aren't performing, a player who is should play instead. This is why Man City have like 7 different wingers.

 

 

Oh I quite agree. The training pitch is where you make your mark first. However, nothing compares to real matches which provide probably the last 5% of sharpness needed for a player like Maddison. Personally I’d drop him, but equally I can understand Brendan’s thinking on this.

I think a midfield 4 of Ndidi, Soumare, KDH and Tielemans would be a real problem for them to deal break down and then keep track of on the counter with Vardy one of Iheanacho/Daka/Barnes. That would be my team with the back 4 of Bertrand, Soyuncu, Evans and Ricardo

It's not going to happen though is it ?

[whitlock]

Don’t really have any problem with Man City too much, glad we’re not anything like them though, just can’t stand Pep.

 

Such a bellend, love seeing him squirm when it doesn’t go his way, praying that’s the case for tomorrow.

What? Is that a compliment or an insult? Not aware Jamie is well known for his soup eating....omelette, skittles, and red bull....

He can keep using the 'I don't want to throw them into the deep end' narrative, but they played in Europe last season and we didn't.

 

 

Pretty sure we did.

 

What am I missing?

Was worse when they were beating us and he put his arm around Rodgers.

 

People complain about Klopp moaning but Guardiola is just as bad.

Might be an idea to take screenshot for back up.

I'd print it in A3 and laminate it to be sure.

Means he thinks Ferran is a bit too chunky. Needs to slim down to rat weight.

I just hope we put in a good performance. Not expecting much in regards to points, and would be happy with a draw so long as the players played well.

In that formation how would you deploy the midfield 4? Would it be a flat 4 or a diamond?

It's horrible at first but once you get that 1st weekend of no club football out the way and your brain resets to other things then I love it. Wish we never played personally.

Once you generate the pass you can also add it to your apple wallet which is usually valid for a month. 

You forgot to add printing it, does anyone know the smallest size you can print it as there isn't much space.

I think you will find that Man City strughle against teams that actually press them.

 

However if you want a defensive mindset against them they will stick 5 past us.

 

I'd definitely dispute that unless the team in question is Liverpool. Most teams that beat us do it by sitting back and countering effectively, which is our big weakness. Usually when teams try and press us we do well.

Vardy lives in Pep's head rent free. He has nightmares of him leaving John Stones in a heap on the floor.

 

Anyway Pep its a cheese and ham omelette and a Red Bull when you're on the Vardy diet, not soup. Get it right you bald weapon.

Yep. I've always thought if Vardy was a bit younger Pep would have bid for him.

It's all linked to your NHS account.

 

But it requires a login everytime. My phone is an old slow iPhone 5 so that'll be fun if I was to get stopped. Probably take me half hour to load it and login.

 

Sort it before and take a screenshot.

Pep is the worst. He's passive aggressive. Remember what he did to Nathan Redmond. Great manager but a bit annoying in various aspects
