I haven't watched City this season but from the Formations I have seen, it seems David Silva would be a CMF under Pep.

AdisaOwala:


Kindly provide a link to a credible source please...

Oasis007:


Yeah! He is playing as a CMF! You got it right!

You are an unrepentant Morron...

If you had any sense of humour (or common sense for that matter), you woulda observed that Peeps were mocking Kagawa for the terminology he used (and its irrelevance to the discussion) - not that they didn't understand what he was saying.

I specifically asked Elampiro for a link to a credible source for " Second assist" (since he claimed it to be the football terminology) but in typical fashion, you butted into the convo like a hungry, sexually deprived wildebeest all in a bid to sound knowledgeable.

If we begin rain blows on that Gorimapa head of yours with clubs & sticks now, you go dey scream "EPL conspiracy"

Can't wait for the City match! That's the best way to test the new regime.

For me, I am overly confident we will get a wonderful result. City is crap at the back! Can't even keep a cleansheet in 3 games despite playing 2 home games against West Ham and Sunderland. We also have the best defense set-up so far, so unlike what some peeps are saying, we don't need to pack the bus to contain attacks, we can handle it well and still have our attacks going.

Personally, I can't wait to watch Baily vs Aguero and Stone vs Ibra (ooh poor stones!)

Hi everyone,

Today I’m writing from Spain, getting ready for the first training camp of the season with the national team this Monday. This time it’s going to be special because there have been major changes, as you know, including a new manager, and it’s the kick off for the Russia’s World Cup qualifiers. I notice there’s excitement in the football fans in my country ahead of this new stage and, of course, all of us are looking forward to do well and to enjoy again these few days with the team. I feel privileged to be called up and to be a part of the national team. Being here is always very exciting to me, it’s a special feeling.

The first of the two games is a friendly one, yet a top level game: against Belgium, a squad full of great players and also with a new (and Spanish) manager. This is a game that had to be cancelled in November last year but luckily we can play it now. It’s meant to be a tough test ahead of the first qualifying game against Liechtenstein in León, where I’m sure our fans will give us a warm welcome.

As you can imagine, we reach the international break with plenty of energy and optimism after the third win in the Premier League. Last Saturday we suffered a lot to beat Hull, but Marcus Rashford’s late winner did justice to our performance. We tried everything during the 90 minutes and it was very exciting to celebrate the victory at the end with the team-mates and the fans who were there supporting us. Winning in the added time always leaves a special taste; however, next time we will try to close the game earlier.

I hope you have a nice week. Hugs! 

Juan

Oasis007:




Is he not playing well?!

Funlordjnr:



A player that has kept 2 clean sheets thereby earning us the best defence and joint top spot in the league at the moment while also winning 2 man of the match awards in the process in his last 4 games is "unnecessary?"


Are you still smoking cheap crack in baltimore?

PietroRico:
not well enough

Oasis007:


Who do you prefer in the Lineup between him and Rooney?

Wingback:



Extract your brain from your Asshole...I later said the club management knows best so the signing might be justified. Did I ever criticize his game in my post?

2 clean sheets against teams that packed the bus?

Humour me more. [/size][/b]

PietroRico:
none of them

elampiro:
I want Mourinho to succeed here, and go on to be the coach for many many years to come.
