  1. Might be modern but doesnt make it logical or effective.
  2. Again incredibly strange to have the manager/head coach not having a say in the players he will be managing and ultimately who will determine how long he stays in employment. Football clubs these days.
  3. It probably wont in that I doubt it will ever be tried. Lets not. Not good enough and half a season struggling to get into the Bristol Rovers squad doesnt strengthen his argument.
  4. He is playing stupidly risky football exposing his defenders and they are leaking goals. He as a result deserves blame for their below par League position. If you think Rogers would have potentially enjoyed the same amount of game time at City where he would have been battling with Foden/De Bruyne/Silva for his position over the last few years as opposed to his actual career trajectory to be able to progress how he has then you are crazy.
  5. If we bring in Buckley for Tronstad then it is a considerable downgrade. We unfortunately lack width as we havent sufficiently recruited players who can provide it.
  6. "He is doing his best with what he has available" is a cop out. His tactics continuously are leading to Spurs conceding far too many goals and hes too stubborn to change it regardless of player availability and as a result they are doing poorly. I think with Palmer there is more blame to be attached although even then it was at a time when De Bruyne was still fit and firing and Foden was the player of the season in the Premier League. Rogers wouldnt be doing what he is now had he stayed at City. Porro likewise although he isnt THAT good anyway.
  7. The burden of proof here is not on me. There is no evidence that Markanday is a Championship standard player or anything close. He has also barely if ever played centrally and even in League 2 seems to have been played wide still where he is being productive at a level that perhaps suits him more. You seem to be basing it on under 23 games from years ago where even then from what you say he didnt specifically play centrally, he just drifted there. I just dont think hes close to being a Champipnship standard player.
  8. JRC has had those 2 strong performances with ACD in front of him and that move to a back 3 tends to be more when Pickering is at left back rather than Beck who is more attacking. I am basing Buckley's poor attitude on his demenaour whenever he gets on the pitch but either way he isnt up to it and Baker should play.
  9. Spurs keep leaking goals because Postecoglu will not move away from his high risk, naive style of football and as a direct result, results have been poor and they are massively underachieving. And as results continue to be poor, he responds publically by being more and more of a knobhead to anyone who dares question him. I dont think City can be criticised too much for letting Rogers go, had he stayed then he wouldnt be where he is now as it has taken him a few years working his way up when he wouldnt have been close to the City side. Porro likewise and he is defensively not the best. Palmer is obviously the one who got away but he seemingly pushed for a move and Alvarez went for a huge fee.
  10. You have for a long while implied that Markanday could be a Champipnship standard attacking midfielder and I cant for the life of me understand what has drawn you to that conclusion.
  11. Pears JRC Hyam Batth Beck Tronstad Baker ACD Cantwell Weimann Gueye The left hand side and the striker are obviously big areas where we need to improve and it feels like any could play there and I wouldnt be very confident that they will do anything.
  12. Surely Baker over Buckley, the latter isnt good enough and has a poor attitude it seems. JRC has been good since he came into the team and I also think ACD needs to start.
  13. I wonder if Pep regrets signing a new deal. A lot is put down to Rodri's absence and obviously it is a big factor as they also didnt have a natural replacement so a side so reliant on control just now has a huge gap in midfield. But it goes beyond that with an aging squad as you say. Walker has always been reliant on pace which is starting to go, De Bruyne seems to be over the hill and their summer signings of Gundogan and Savinho havent helped at all. Theyve lost Alvarez too who was a very handy option.
  14. He does, although doesnt have the managerial ability of Klopp so cant even justify such levels of arrogance. Both very unlikeable people IMO.
