Foden actually plays more as a winger than a midfielder for City. Baba just flopped for that match ni jare. Maybe he is more comfortable on the right than on the left. Playing him in the middle will affect the other part of the team especially when you consider there is no Rodri or Benardo in the England team to give the team the required control.

Torrh.... Make we dey see sha

mostob:
Foden, Rice and Mainoo should be starting in midfield but Southgate knows better.

If France or Germany catch this England team eh...

So where will Bellingham play?

He will come in from the bench. Or he can even start while Foden comes in later. Anyhow sha

Na the only way we fit win league be this. Try and win all 20games then repeat (or better) the 2nd half of last season.

No dulling suppose dey this time

Plus a UCL game in between both fixtures. Only new arrivals that are great enough to start can help get maximum off those 3 fixtures. We need it.

my own is just avoid defeat to teams that have caused maximum pain in the 2 seasons we didn't win league. That's because those losses impacted overall psychology in camp.


Dem
Villa
Fulham
Southampton
Newcastle
Etc
The rest, imo, we will do just fine.
By now, he should have a cruel approach to those small frustrating teams and be ready to do what it take whether Var dey for or against. Besides, we need to increase our penalties. They are key. Not the kind Saka did vs Bayern and jeopardize everything but being calculative to make a difference too.

Between 1st half 19 vs 2nd half 19, i think I'll take 1st half this time.

Lol, lemme start with the bolded.

We don't need either first half or second half oo. For we to win the league we need to be strong on both the first and second halves of 19 games

The first time we took second, we were strong 1st half (dropping only 5 points) and weak 2nd half

Last season where we took second, we were strong 2nd half (dropping same 5 points) but weak first half. So you see. We need both halves to be strong. Like strong strong.

And like you said, we need to dey win against these small teams too. I think they just take turns on frustrating us. From Brighton when we finished 5th to West Ham when we finished 2nd to now Villa. So na all of them we need to catch, reason why I said we need win our first 20 matches.

One can only win league and be confident of but slipping when him don gap Pep with like 13points first

We still dey same side na. I just want a 100% from 1st half than 2nd half na of it comes to choosing 😎

As for that strong strong, na window go decide a large part of that one imo. Plus, Odegaard increasing his G/A whether or not Saka, Trossard, Kai or Whoever s in form. This should be his own season. Esp as no Euros.

Best of Luck and Strategy to our next campaign. Anybody go hearaaamm!!

Who snooze loose!!!! Fire to fire campaign. Let's see if Arteta will silence his haters this season or if he will recruit new ones.

At this point every trophy matters no be only EPL and UCL again.

Same here. I'm just hoping for at least a double

Premier League people charged City with 115 cases. City carry PL enter court saying the rules no make sense. Now, Judge dey ask City why Dem agree to the rules in the first place.

If Arsenal looses out this season again I will definitely jump ship, cus what is it?.... I hope we won't shaa.

The audacity ehn. Like Dem no force you sign the agreement o. Now that they charged you for magomago, you turn around say the rules na rubbish. When you dey win treble, dey sign players up and down, the rules no be rubbish o.

This transfer window will determine that. I will wait till transfers happen before making my prediction.

Incomings will be decisive but regardless of who's coming in, anything trophyless again I jump ship. Arteta better start taking every competition seriously as pep does, no be Wenger wey no value Calabar cup(it's actually crazy that Wenger didn't lift the carabao cup in his 26 years). All of them matters, all of Dem.

Any system must accommodate the two to maximise the strength of the team.

The worst is to play them as a double 8 with a sitting DM at the base. Or do what Ancelotti does, play them in a diamond midfield with either at the tip.

You are spot on. Having gone so close to the title till the last day, not winning the league next season will be retrogression.

I hope we can get all the additions we need because there is no more excuse to give.

Player plus cash for Bruno Guimaraes, which player is on your mind

Balance should come first before trying to shoehorn players into the starting line up based on their name or whatever. And no, the 442 won't be ideal for England because of the profile of wingers they have.

Make we dey look... It is really difficult to jump ship. Now that Arteta has been given a new contract, nothing less than EPL this season should be the target.

What ever system or balance you will suggest must include those two as well as other key players if not the team's strength will be diminished.

By the way which wingers? Only winger I see is Saka and he can play with Kane as a front two

................... Kane...... Saka..................
..................... Bellingham.....................
Foden........................................... TAA
........................... Rice............................
