Vermalean that has half life can produce a UCL trophy, two LaLiga, a Club Word Cup and Super Club trophies... When?? After leaving the "trophyless" champion!

SIRcumalot:
pep no send Hart sha

chrisley024:
I pity him if he thinks Caballero is better than Hart.

olabode89:


Lmao... Senior OTE!

GloryIsaac:


Tuchel dont bother much about developing another clubs player bro, thats why Januzaj didnt do as well as expected.... If he was a full dortmund player, i guess they would have given him playing time like he'll be given at Sunderland

RuuDie:
David Moyes is back suckazz. In yo' face *middle finger*

Pataki:
Manure fans talking about coefficient, when your useless club was in the Champions league last season, only to be dumped into Europa league, and yet only to be dumped out.

Face una Europa and win it if you are so bothered about UEFA coefficient.

Oasis007:


What kind of complex style is Pep playing at Manchester City?!

Can't really comprehend exactly where Clichy and Sagna are playing!

I hope our Analysts could device the formation and pattern City is playing!

Diademk07:
Aw, Leicester clearly missed Kante.

I don't know if it was on here or some other forum I opined that "people often talk about our need to move from possession based tactic and operate a counter attack setup but do we have the players for it such as pacy forwards, a deeplying playmaker and a box-box CM like Kante to win the ball high up the pitch and surge out immediately to counter.."

Apart from Drinkwter and their pace, Kante was one important factor that made Leicester a functional team last season. He would win the ball high up the pitch and before any opposition team knows what hit them in the face, he would surge forward and start 'the counter' with the likes of Mahrez, Vardy, Okazaki etc who were all already in great position in the final third before Kante even won the ball, and with these forwards' pace, it was quite easy to put the finishing touch.

Without Kante, the forwards have to drop deep to get the ball and before they could glance up, the opposition teams already got back their defensive shape. Mahrez especially benefited a lot from Kante. That's one reason I was far up in Kante ass and wanted him to be signed.

From what I've seen from Kante replacement, Mendy is no box+box CM, haven't seen much of him though.

SailorXY:

yeah yeah yeah
Goan propose to Kante already.

Let us see how he fares in Chelshit then as he's the next best thing since Zico.

SailorXY:
^ha
I no dey watch match today

Is any MUFC lad playing for Moyes already?

SIRcumalot:
@diademk07.
any team would miss a player like Kante but,
Mendy didn't get enough minutes to really exert his influence on the field in the game against Hull.
and Huth was absent too.
If Vardy scored the three clear cut chances created for him,chances he would have buried last season.
Leicester wins this game easy.

okazaki should start along side vardy for now and maybe play Musa somewhere else even though he was one of their best performer this game.

Nihilist:


I'm fascinated by this system.

Clichy and Sagna seem to be tucking into central midfield whilst fernadinho looks like he's dropping in between stones and kolarov during build up.

By the time the ball gets to the Sunderland box, Stones is alone in the city defence..

The only issue is can see is that nolito and Sterling are having to stay wide to provide the width since the fullbacks are not overlapping.

Aguero is a midget, so the wingers on the touchline cannot pullout to him. Instead when the collect the ball in the wide areas, they have to try and dribble into the centre to get the ball to their striker.

Sunderland have packed the narrow areas with defenders so the city wingers keeping dribbling into bodies and losing thr ball. Without that moment of madness from that foolish PvA, city would not have scored because they just can't get the ball into dangerous areas.

Interesting game though

Diademk07:


Mendy is certainly no box-box nor has the defensive nous of Kante.

They missed Huth as well but the whole team was a mess, especially Mahrez who isn't as pacey in the first place.
