The Rising Sun

1 We will most likely command a fee for him so the club makes money on the sale. He hasn't asked to leave. 2 Sterling has a contract which means we need him to leave and agree to breaking the contract. 3 if he is earning 300k a week here and his next club is offering him 180k, then he has the right to demand the 120k difference.

His step over and run doesn't work in the premier league. In Ukraine he must've been quicker than the rest but here he just looks stupid when running with the ball because he is exactly one more touch away from losing it and killing Chelsea attacks. I feel bad for him. Would've worked in a Leicester of old kind of counter attacking team with vardy and mahrez. Small pond. Wish he improves but I don't know where he can.

We don't have space in our squad for more signings. Sterling goes from the banished group. Next season we have estevao++ coming. This is really annoying. Why did we buy giui at all. Same with sancho. Why. The moment your club starts looking like there is balance and direction..... Let's fuck some shit up by introducing even more players into a pool where 20 players have been banished from first team to create team dynamics.

What I've learnt is that any teams in the bottom 12-13 which try and attack us will get decimated. All Teams bar city will get a proper game with us. No feeling sorry for ourselves anymore. This team is an attacking force.

Wouldn't sancho also be on 300-400k a week though? Wage cuts galore needed for this to happen.....

Kepa might be better than Sanchez in many ways, but history reminds me how kepa is THE worst keeper when it comes to coming out to get the ball or box it. He always used to miss it or reach late etc it was an extremely scary watch, every game. With Sanchez, any shot from outside the box is possibly a goal as he is terrible at movement intelligence. Kepa is not wayyy better here but Sanchez just stands and watches goals happen. Out scouting department wants ball playing keepers but never buys one. I don't know what that's about. Baffling.

No to sancho. Enough.

No one has mentioned but. If gusto isn't subbed he will get a second yellow for sure.

Our defense is shambolic.

14 points minimum, but hope for 16.

We're looking pretty good for the season ahead. I hoped we would've had a bit more intense performance but city were in cruise control during periods of the game. (They've won it 4 times in a row so losing to them is not unprecedented. It's about how we perform vs other teams) We had many many super periods too but didn't take any of the chances/half chances. It annoyed me that many times we were in on the flanks but didn't put balls in. The only time we did, Neto almost scored. We'll be fine guys. Don't worry.

Sanchez is bad. First goal - slides in with his hands behind him rather than his hands being wide open to create the biggest obstacle. Second goal - saw everything developing in front of him and simply didn't react.

We look good. Players started with a little less balls. Then started growing a pair halfway through first half. I expect second half to be more attacking as our players will be more.up.for.it No fear.

Palmer a bit lost in this new system.... Hopefully all the players get used to it sooner rather than later

Good bye Conor. You couldn't have got a better manager for your style of game even if you dreamt it. Simeone is going to be great for you.

If we got rid of him, surely already someone lined up to prevent a media circus. Fingers crossed.

Caicedo trying his best to get sent off. Poch needs to sub him or he's getting red for sure.

I get what you're saying, but we aren't winning now and don't look like we will any time soon. With the scattergun approach the new owners have taken with regards to transfers,.I just can't see who is going to come and instill discipline and structure. Structure and gameplay might be too cautious with Jose for most people's liking but unless we pull out a rabbit out of a hat in terms of the next manager - I just dont know where we can go from here. To be clear though - I never wanted Jose back and thought he is too dated and boring. Wanted good football etc etc. It takes many many beatings of your team to get you considering a u turn towards Jose.

Allardyce.

Lol never thought we would ever need Jose again. We do. Anyone who thinks this club can be pulled out from the quicksand clusterfuck we are in, is living on hope. Welcome back relatively negative football - but at the same time a winning mentality - which is severely needed. Currently we play worse than negative footy , atleast negative footy is a type of playing style. Right now it's dire.

Madueke is crystal palace level at best, even there he would be behind eze or olise. Hate when the club buys clumsy players.

Weekly shitshow. Mudryk is officially rubbish, even if he has pace.... Broja is bad. Like if you took everything good about Giroud away, you'd be left with a broja. And it's preston and we still can't overpower the opposition. Age is not an excuse anymore.

Colwill literally allowed the Brighton dude to come on his left foot and curl it instead of forcing him down the line. Major error.

Cucurella has a few brain farts in him per game where he completely loses his opponent and in games vs top sides I think it's better to go with someone better defensively, bigger and taller. Offensively he offers nothing so would take chilwell since we barely have any goals in our team anyway. That being said cucu had a good game a few games ago vs arsenal I think it was.

2-1 scoreline to either side. Will be a cracker. Hope richarlison plays as he's worse than anyone I've ever watched play.
