Eriksen played deep most of last season, we just didn’t have a defensive player on the bench. If he felt Mainoo was on the edge of an injury, I’m not sure he could have done much else. I’d still think a midfield of Eriksen and McTominay should be...
How is putting on Eriksen conceding possession and control? Isn’t that one of his best qualities. I don’t think the players he took off were playing particularly well.
You’re starting a different conversation there. Im not defending his...
So we take off a 19 year old kid for a danish international and that causes us to concede 3 goals to a championship team? He’s clearly not taking him off for tactical reasons.
I’m bored of even coming across as defending him because I don’t want...
He put on Danish and Brazilian international’s against a fecking Championship team, who were two of the most experienced players on our bench.
There wasn’t some kind of massive tactical shift from Coventry. They attacked a bit more. You don’t...
I don’t really understand how the players aren’t catching any flack compared to the manager. People are vastly overstating how much control a manager has in the middle of a game, especially from a winning position. If you’re losing you can go...
Pep’s interview about him asking to leave is so strange. Trying to make out he couldn’t do anything to stop him; maybe play him rather than spending £60 million on Doku, who is absolutely terrible.
I guess city fans can’t really get annoyed at...

Beyond excited for this. My favourite album of all time and probably the only artist out of my favourites I’ve yet to see live.
They should do what they did last year for the NFL and have a big screen and food/drink in the car park for people to stay after and watch the match afterwards.
I can see both sides of it, scrapping the replays that is, not the process they’ve used which is obviously pathetic.
It definitely gives smaller sides a better chance of going through in a one off game, it seems like the smaller clubs are...
I agree, but the post I was responding to was talking about performances when fit. I’ve said in multiple threads that a top left back should be higher priority than right back. Shaw can fill in at left centre back for game time; I genuinely think...
He’s raw. That’s what happens when you buy 20 year old players. You can get away with it playing as an attacking midfielder or winger; if Garnacho was putting in this level of consistency as a striker, everyone would be moaning too - but that’s...
Lads, every player in the world would probably have been better under SAF. This isn’t groundbreaking news. Martial had a tonne of talent and I thought Mourinho was harsh on him at the time, but he was clearly right. It almost pains me to agree...
Indeed. I’m not saying it’s a bad thing but two of those clubs are going for the title, I wouldn’t expect them to be giving many minutes to teenagers.
Hopefully we get some more quality to give Garnacho and Mainoo a rest at times next year...
