Their attack is really good, but they will miss Salah when he leaves. AFCON is just too long... is it longer than Copa America? useless competitions. I would kill to have Salah for 3 or so years, even though he turns 32 in mid June, I wager he still has at least 3 big seasons left we need a few huge bridge (not Bridge, lol) estbalished WC players who are older and have vast experience going 100% ALL youth is madness, as we have seen if (likely) Thiago leaves, then the ONLY player we have who is over 29yo is 3rd string , never playing GKer Bertinelli who is only 31, and he may well go as well the next oldest players (and only other ones over 26yo) are Sterling and Chilwell just to show you how times flies, Baba Rahman and Bakayoko both turn 30 years old in a few months, Kova turns 30 in 2 months, and Ziyech turns 31yo in 3 months oh and BTW SACK POCH robsblubot 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, patience will be required regardless of what we do next. "Mediocre" yet majority of their starting lineup ended up playing regularly for both club & country (Dele Alli being the exception). Lloris, Toby, Jan, Trippier at the back. Son, Kane & Alli up front with Eriksen in midfield... Compare that experience to the team we are putting out every game and I can see why the opposition know how to pick us off. Opposition teams have it simple against the current Chelsea team, it's like put together a decent press, get on the counter and you'll likely make our defenders look like fools in the box and our midfield is non-existent as Enzo is playing too high and I'm not sure what position Caicedo plays and then you have Gallagher who just runs around like a dog all game but with zero defensive impact.

Special Juan 28,141 Posted February 6, 2024 Share Posted February 6, 2024 Joy to watch City last night, the way they move the ball is something else. The ability to retain possession in tight areas is just sublime. It's not just pointless possession it's possession with a directness and a purpose.

Vesper 30,164 Posted February 11, 2024 Share Posted February 11, 2024 (edited) Man City could be forced to sell Girona if both teams qualify for Champions League It's been a fairytale season for the Spanish club but they may have the European dreams crushed. https://www.givemesport.com/man-city-forced-to-sell-girona-both-teams-qualify-champions-league/ Manchester City's ownership of Girona may jeopardize the Spanish club's chances of playing in the Champions League if City does not sell their stake. UEFA rules require teams with the same ownership group to remain separate entities if they're competing in the same competition, but Girona's relationship with City contradicts this. Girona have had an exceptional season in 2023/24, and are currently second in La Liga. There is a very high chance that they qualify for Europe's most prestigious competition. In a unique turn of events, Manchester City may cause one team to be disqualified from the 2024/2025 Champions League if the European Champions do not sell their current stake in Girona, according to a report from The i. Last season's treble winners have been in imperious form again and are beginning to turn the screw in their quest to win a record fourth straight Premier League title. However, this could have serious implications for their sister club, Girona. The Spanish side are having a remarkable campaign and find themselves inside the Champions League spots in La Liga. The Catalan club is one of 13 teams that is owned by The City Group (CFG), with the collective having a 47% majority stake in the team. It appears as though their dreams of playing among Europe's elite may not be guaranteed, with all hopes potentially resting on whether the English side relinquish their control of the Blanquivermells in order to comply with UEFA's rules and regulations. UEFA's regulations regarding two teams from the same ownership group mean that any teams that have the same ownership group must provide evidence that they remain separate entities that do not take advantage of the others' resources. This contradicts what was said about CFG's purchasing of Girona in 2017, where it was stated the Spanish side would 'benefit from City Football Group’s extensive networks in infrastructure, coaching, recruitment, youth development and executive leadership, in addition to its global media, marketing and commercial capabilities.' The UEFA Club Financial Control Body is closely monitoring the situation and is set to evaluate the interconnections between the clubs in June, assuming a conflict arises. Unless modifications are made, only the team finishing highest in their respective league will gain entry into Europe's premier competition. In the event of equal league positions, the team playing in the country ranked highest on UEFA's "access list" will qualify, favoring Manchester City due to England's top status. The rules do state that no changes are necessary so long as the clubs are not competing in the same European competition. With both teams firmly in their respective title races, the chances of that happening are getting slimmer by the week. Having been promoted to the top flight just 18 months ago, Girona have been a fairytale story come to life this season. Having finished mid-table last campaign, they currently sit second in La Liga, just two points off leaders Real Madrid. They are six points clear of Catalan rivals Barcelona and 11 points ahead of Athletic Bilbao in fifth. Familiar names such as Daley Blind and Paulo Gazzaniga have been some of the top performers for the club this season. Another star that has also emerged is Brazilian teenager Savio. The attacker has managed five goals and seven assists in the league so far whilst on loan from another CFG outfit, Troyes. It is being reported that the 19-year-old has agreed to make a move to Manchester City in the summer, which has continued to raise eyebrows over the legitimacy of the transactions between CFG clubs.

Vesper 30,164 Posted February 13, 2024 Share Posted February 13, 2024 David Moyes to walk away from West Ham in the summer https://www.caughtoffside.com/2024/02/11/david-moyes-to-walk-away-from-west-ham-in-the-summer/ David Moyes may potentially leave London Stadium at the end of the season, as there are no indications of the manager signing a new deal with West Ham, according to The Telegraph. The newspaper reported on February 11th that Moyes “keeps his own counsel,” indicating that the possibility of him walking away from his position at the end of his current contract is not out of the question. Despite his recent successes with the Hammers, Moyes reportedly feels underappreciated by some fans due to growing concerns over his team’s style of football. There is indeed significant speculation surrounding Moyes’ potential extension at the London Stadium, particularly given the criticism he has faced despite West Ham sitting in eighth place in the Premier League and being contenders for success in the Europa League. Although there are some fans’ dissatisfaction with the style of football under Moyes, it would seem prudent to secure him with a new contract, especially considering the challenging years West Ham has endured prior to his arrival. Comparing the situation to Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City, where complaints about style are also present due to its repetitiveness, despite their dominance, highlights the complex relationship between playing style and results. While West Ham’s approach may differ, it has proven effective nonetheless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
