If they play on using him and Fernandes as 8’s with Casemiro holding they are fucked. Frank also tried this with Mount and Havertz with Kante holding and it didn’t work. Tuchel also used Mount in the double 6 a few times and it didn’t work.

EtH clueless if thats his whole reasoning in signing Mason. As a 10 perhaps with Casemiro and a more box to box/defensively astute player, I could see it having some success but two 10’s as 8’s. Hopeless.

Foden is amazing... what a player.

The silver lining for Halland is that he's really not that skillful: pretty average on the ball. His off-the-ball movement, however, is the best I've seen... same for his finishing.

Guardiola is actually pulling a potter here and playing Grealish as wingback, not a back 4 with Gardiol as LB. I guess if your players are this well drilled, the formation does not really matter.

Having Haaland plus Alvarez is a cheat code tho. If one is having an off day like Haaland today, the other steps up. Also the positonal flexbility on Alvarez is great. He played water carrier for Messi, now he is the playmaker for Haaland. then add foden to this and you dont need any more players doing much for attack.

As poor as City where midweek vs Sevilla, today they looked invincible. Defensively  never really in trouble despite Newcastle doing their best

[cfccrost 23]

Newcastle will be sorry for letting go Saintmaximen

[robsblubot 3,595]

Newcastle have a top4 midfield, but they got nothing in attack. They will not compete for anything until they spend big in the final third.

Brighton continue to waltz through the league while we keep bankrolling them with ~100m per year just to take their garbage out for them. Did them a solid by helping them rid of potter, cucu and Sanchez. Really, they should build Todd a statue in front of their stadium.
