KingsX Posted 2 October 2022 Posted 2 October 2022 1 minute ago, Finnegan said: I'm one of the harshest critics of Grealish going and that's exactly why. He does have a habit of slowing the game down, wasting the ball and letting defences have time to get back set. But I think it'd be harsh to say he hasn't improved at all. He has gotten a bit better under Pep, become more direct and even though he still takes more touches than I would imagine Pep would prefer, he often now does drive far more directly at a team with less hesitation. Less just farting around near the touch line looking to 1v1 people showboating. Fair enough. But Pep has quickly changed Man City to a Blitzkrieg team. More and more, his side’s quality is now directed toward placing overwhelming speed and force at the point of attack. Not Grealish’s natural game. And wow. Haaland will not only beat 11 in a row, he’ll beat 11 hat tricks in a row.
Tuna Posted 2 October 2022 Posted 2 October 2022 How many do you reckon Haaland will get this season? On target for 50+ it's ridiculous!
Miquel The Work Geordie Posted 2 October 2022 Posted 2 October 2022 He'll break Vardy's record at some point if he plays a dozen consecutive games won't he
Jimothy Posted 2 October 2022 Posted 2 October 2022 Haaland now has as many premier league hat tricks as this lot, in 8 games 2

He has no weaknesses to his game, I honestly think you just can’t defend against him. 22 years old, there is just no way that he should be this good. I am excited in a way, I am way too young to remember players like Cruyff and R9, to be fair, I can hardly recall Messi / Ronaldo breaking onto the scene. We are witnessing greatness here, if he stays fit, he could be the best to ever play the game. I have absolutely no doubt about that. Ronaldo was so good. Most complete striker I have ever seen and without his injuries he probably would be regarded as the greatest striker ever. He ended up playing less than 400 games. He was early 20’s at the 98 World Cup and probably the best striker in the World then. Edited 2 October 2022 by Fox92

Bruno Lage looks like the default silhouette you get when you don't have a profile pic on Facebook Tottenham had two in a couple of years, Jacques Santini - remember him!? Juande Ramos was actually pretty famous at the time but very easy to forget he briefly turned up in North London. 6 minutes ago, Fear Of The Fox said: Tbf both Serie A and Bundesliga are competitive this season, at least after 8 games. I predict Serie A will stay like this all season. Germans have a big football holiday period every winter and Bayern always manages to be a beast when it resumes. Oh look, I think they're two of the best leagues in Europe to watch at the moment. I love the re-emergence of Serie A as one of Europe's most entertaining leagues. I'm not criticising them as entertainment but they're never going to be as "big" as the Premier League unless the Premier League crashes somehow financially. By "best" in this instance I literally mean having THE best players and teams. When Sky used to make the claim it was embarrassing, the Spanish giants were completely dominant, Bayern were massive, Juve were massive, AC Milan pretty much lived in the Champions League last four and the English were routinely dumped out in the quarters. It's much different these days. 1

MPH Posted 2 October 2022 Posted 2 October 2022 Imagine being the manager who pulls off Sancho and brings on Fred… Thank goodness we don’t have a manager who does that when chasing a game… 1

Sunbury Fox Posted 2 October 2022 Posted 2 October 2022 Genuinely terrified of playing this Man City team. They could hit us for double figures on this form.

Juande Ramos was actually pretty famous at the time but very easy to forget he briefly turned up in North London.. Was gonna say Santini but I think he was a bit famously bad and also relatively high profile having been France gaffer, same with Ramos who iirc wound up at Real Madrid after? Think he won them the league cup n all. Not quite Lage levels

Liverpool away, is the one we can hope he doesn’t score albeit their defence isn’t great at the moment. He is ridiculous, just what you get when you have the best striker in the best team.

Miquel The Work Geordie Posted 2 October 2022 Posted 2 October 2022 I know a lot of English lads get built up too much too soon but Foden is utterly insane.
