Lol
Your agenda stops at Enzo's door. We all know you

Once you dislike a player you develop glaucoma when said player does well and you gain telescopic sight when he plays badly or even has an average game.

An agenda shared by many who know what midfield work looks like

Godx:
Tell me you don't watch city without telling me you don't. Performance has been terrible. The reason United have 70% possession in this 2nd half and countless shots against us is because we are missing a ball player like Ederson. We can't even control possession anymore against United at home. I fear for us going to Anfield and Emirates.

Pep has moved away from that model. Donnaruma is the evidence of that, not the cause.

It started with Haaland, add Doku, add Kovacic, Nunes and Reijnders, these are all dribblers not ball keepers

Once you lose two or three players from that ball-keeping structure, it will be difficult to insist on maintaining it with a goalkeeper when too many players that implement that have been lost. Things fall apart slowly and the tikitaka centre can no longer hold, so no need for Pep to insist on ball playing keeper.

This is Donnaruma that won Jogginnghoe the Euros the same summer Kante won him the UCL and had Swiz123 capping careless

Unlimited22:
You're talking of structural what, sir?

I just need to hear it from you

I wouldn't know what agenda you are trying to elicit from me cos nothing consign me with una attack vs defence shenanigans

Reijnders has denied me a monster haul today

Unlimited22:
Excuse me o, whether we have a WHAT?

I'm talking of structural balance from the team set-up not players, especially with your ghost worker in midfield messing up the structure

A40:
Where you don see boxing match wey sup for Sunday

Because the fight was early in the morning GMT, they announced it with today's date on the boxing show I listen to on radio

popizaino:
You guys can whine about the defence all you want but truth be told,our coach EM is not it.

We have a billion dollar team but we still play ball like some amateur team national league.

When are we going to see good attacking flow of passes,good ball circulation even when pressed?

When is our striker going to get decent supply of ball to take on defenders and not rely on some individual brilliance?

When are we going to be able to control the midfield without passing back to keep off pressure?

When are we going to stop killing attacking threats from corners by always running back to the goal keeper?

When are we going to try something new in the third half of our opponents?

Don't you guys watch other big team play,do they have the kind of disjointed passing options that characterise our own game play always.

The better we open our eyes to the fraud this EM is,the better for us.
C3x3aa
As it is now,we are not better off than last season expect some fluke win against Fulham so weeks ago despite strengthing our squad in the summer.

The earlier EM goes back and challenge himself, to improve on his own tactics,the better for us.

I will not say more than this.

You are wrong

You cannot watch a Maresca attack and say he has not found a way to always overload the opposition and score

Goals are almost always guaranteed in Chelsea match, the question is whether we have a balance between attack and defence so as not to concede on counters

semid4lyfe:
No be that fight. Na the loss to Manny Pacquiao some years later make am slide into depression.

That Pacquiao fight was suppose to be his redemption and resurgence, and I recall he recruited Floyd's father to train him for the fight but he was knocked out unconscious by Pacquiao in the early rounds.

Mayweather Snr criticized him after the fight for abandoning their game plan, and reverting to his normal direct all-action fight style.

In a later interview, he confessed the Pacquiao loss made him entertain thoughts of kpai-ing himself.

RIP Ricky Hatton.

I see

His mentality must have been beaten already for him to see Pacquiao fight as a redemption meaning he was already in a sunken place

But I don't know how losing a fight and getting paid tens of millions in the process will send someone into this kind of depression

Just like George Foreman after losing to Ali, baba started collapsing mentally then ultimately the Jimmy Young loss finally broke him

Abi you think Wilder is going through this kind of depression now from his losses to Fury and Zhang. Life no serious like that oh

Garnacho needs to go for deliverance. Instead of marking his man he was constantly gambling on counterattack opportunity. They send you to mark man, you are trying to create 5 yards from him so he can't catch you if the ball develops into counterattack, even in the 93rd minute while defending a one goal lead

Garnacho fell asleep repeatedly at the back post from those long throws, even had Cukurella shouting at him the previous occasion. . . . and defence vs attack people have started their agenda. Abi we go replace Garnacho with centreback?

R.I.P Ricky Hatton

Money is not everything

My brother-in-law swore after the Mayweather fight that Ricky has started having depression, that he saw it in his eyes the next day. I have since wondered if just that loss sent Ricky into a spiral.

Emaprince:
I no too like Eze because there little urgency in his games

Looks like the type that doesnt take football as business, but entertainmemt.

But still he is very intelligent and has good end products..hence, him and palmer with JP would be great combo, cos the trio are all technically gifted and brillant.

lol. Eze is one of the best

He slows the game down in order to pick the right option. He will accelerate from you the minute the right option doesn't materialize. A top top player. It would have been equivalent to having 2 Palmers

Katcall:
Gittens, gittens, everywhere i go its gittens gittens. Airmark, enzo5, ibime, moratafc, Ihebu4chelsea what have you bought? They say he passes back more than your average defender

Just another £15m would buy Eze, another Palmer but on the left wing

Eze + George >>>>> Gittens plus Garnacho

Thought Crawford fight was today. SMH

nateevs:
Gittens is raw and turned 21 only last month. He's off the pace of the PL. He needs time to shape up.

£50m is too high a price for patience

The only grace I'm giving him now is he looks overwhelmed mentally so I'm hoping it's confidence issue and not skill/decision making issue

Meanwhile who see that Kevin guy for Fulham

Man brought back stepovers from 20 years ago. I thought Quaresma had reincarnated

But what I liked about him is his delivery was on point and quick

Gittens dey make person miss Sancho

This Ajayi and Okon running for Nigeria in the mens 100m are fast oh

Never seen a Nigerian male sprinter look so comfortable under 10 seconds

Enzo5:
or the offside trap didn't work why were all the players on one side

Offside trap from throw in?

You better stick to knitting

Nonsense

Garnacho fell asleep

I never see goalkeeper dey get cramp before

He must be fatigued like Donnaruma was in CWC according to silentgroper

Mehn this Django left footed Kanu drag is special

Moises!

Brentford, let my people go!

I think we can say that the best version of Pedro Neto from Wolves is back

BlueMann:
Much better display from Enzo from deep

Palmer just too good

He has actually done his basic midfield job today

Pedro Neto has been fantastic

Tosin is just too sluggish

That's why he was dropped in CWC final

Palmers Cruyff turn is the best in the world

Yarmoluk just had to take the yellow

Sanchez moving like Donnaruma out here

Same poor distribution, same world class saves

Cold boy

Gittens vision and decision making is poor, same thing I noticed in his Dortmund highlights

Cukurella is steaming forward and free, lay it on to his on rushing left foot first time, you wait to see if you can dribble the defender then lay a lazy pass onto his right foot. I absolutely hate it when players don't take cognizance of their teammates strong foot and just lay anyhow pass to them on their weak foot. I hate it in street football talk less of pro football

We should have just kept George
