Move like a serpent sting like a bee.


Our attack next season will be mad.

handelex:
IMO this game will show our real progress. People have been touting Chelsea as next season's contenders, but don't include us in the same conversation as them. How can a back 5 of Christensen, Rudiger, Kepa, Azpi, Alonso be title-ready but a back 5 of Maguire, Lindelof, Shaw, AWB, DDG be years behind them? Their midfield is slightly better after Ziyech, but will be comparable if we sign VdB/Grealish. And Tammy, Wener, Pulisic, Willian, Mount are not years ahead of Martial, Rashy, Greenwood, Ighalo, James. And if we sign Sancho, then it's game over in that department. It's utterly mental that people slag off our team but consider Chelsea a title threat next season. This FA cup tie will be crucial to send a message.

Pogba was playing in a deeper role and not that he was losing the ball trying to find a clean pass to unlock the defense, but he was losing the ball trying to dribble. Doesn't look the same to me

In City, their off the ball movement is very great, everyone is moving around and opening for passes in advanced positions. KDB isn't that great in his national team. In the last world cup, he wasn't that successful with his passes and many judged him to be a shadow of his real sef. You can check Belgium stats for his pass success rate and compare it to his fellow midfielders or even attackers in the last world cup

Sniper4real:
Sofascore still put Bruno for team of the week for the quarterfinal

ChristineC:
no need then, might as well just play Pereira.
Fernandes plays just fine. on a personal level, I'd change nothing about his style.
I'd rather have Shaw making constant decoy runs around the back trying to create something and losing the ball multiple times, than passing to Maguire 90% of the match.
almost every chance we've fashioned since the game against Wolves have a Bruno involvement somewhere because he tries to quicken the pace of attacks every time he's on the ball, why would any manager want to change that? especially in a team that was very pedestrian when trying to be inventive and created very little (when Pogba was out) before the arrival of Bruno.. if he attempts to change his game, that's the manger saying he should be more conservative. not a chance.

sylvalord:
Before Fernandes arrived, everyone complained about how Pogba overdid things and people asked him to play it simple. When Fernandes arrived, everyone started saying that What Fernandes does is what we have been expecting Pogba to do. Play it simple! Now Pogba is back and Fernandes is the one who needs to emulated Pogba and play it simple. And we wonder why footballers need psychological support.

sylvalord:
Are you fucckking serious? Play it simple like Pogba? I could swear when Fernandes arrived y’all asked Pogba to play it simple like Fernandes. This life no balance at all oo

BlueMann:
I guess another matchup against Manyoo is inevitable
This time, Lampard must change am for Ole

Ravioli:
That's football brov.. Just like Man City getting flogged by those 3rd tier gollums called chelsea.. Luck, fam.. Cos it ain't gonna repeat again

Nezzjnr:
Lol

Saha That year

Ravioli:
Aston Villa..

He'll do good there.. He's gon' be Grealish's replacement. I am sure as hell he's [Grealish] leaving those unambitious pipes.

Nezzjnr:
Ohoh

Louis Saha

Where's that dude

Nezzjnr:
Naaaaah

Everton hasn't done anything bad to us

Lingard doesn't even deserve to play in the championship

Leyqute:
Lingatd foiled many attacking moves yesterday. He also made some bold defense tackles.

It’s as if he was a defender for both sides.

JayromWrites:
Bruno is a great player

Nobody can deny his impacts on the team

The Truth is, he has admitted to the favt thay he gives the ball away quite much but then, that's because he will rather pass forward than pass backwards

Most of his lost balls were either through passes or forward balls cut short

It's hard to see him losing possession trying to beat a player or showboat


I will take a Bruno anyday anytime than a player with 99% pass accuracy but only passes sidewards or backwards


But the truth is, he need to improve
Calm down abit

That is the difference between good players and world class players


He hardly does more than three touches on the ball

But bad as e bad
