It’s been said before but ETH did coach their Reserve team while Guardiola was there. I’m sure they know his ideas and what he’s trying to do. It does still seem strange though.

Since the PL era started. I’m pretty sure we lost more games when we got relegated and we lost 14 the year Fergie took over.

€51m plus €4m in bonus so more like £44m rising to £47m. The papers inflate our fees enough as it is without us contributing to it. Regardless, Chelsea blew a wad on Kepa and moved on quickly. Arsenal spent £30m on Ramsdale after letting...

It’s a similar pattern with both Rashford and Garnacho. I think we are kinder to Garnacho because he’s young and has shown flashes of being very good but he is very wasteful too. Between Rashford, Garnacho and Antony they have 7 assists all...

Totally agree that a few games under a caretaker would at least be interesting. New manager bounce might confuse it given the lack of games left though. The injuries as well don’t help even if a change is made.

I know I’ll be in the minority here but I genuinely think a different manager could get a tune out of Antony and some of the other signings. Glasner has turned Mateta into a goal machine and it’s not uncommon for a new manager to get more out of...

Even then it wasn’t particularly convincing during the ‘good’ spell. We started horrifically against Brentford and Brighton. Got hammered by City and then had a decent run of form upto the League cup final. However, even during that time we...

Free transfer and sold for €50m. Amazing bit of business.

The crazy thing is I was shocked at how pragmatic ETH was being last season at times. Then at some point he just stopped changing anything.

There should be 27yr old LW who scores 20-goals a season and adds 5-10 assists. Basically what Rashford is supposed to be. Essentially, we are relying on a kid learning his trade. It’s not going to be doing him or Mainoo any good playing this...

Just ask Fergie to do it

He has good athleticism and pace but we rarely play him in largely because Bruno rushes every pass and the wingers don’t pass. Ironically I think Sancho could have clicked with him. His movement in the box seems fine to me. He always attacks...

He has scored 8 premier league goals this season for a team really struggling. Julian Alvarez has seasons of 9 last year and 10 this year. Watch his goals against Spurs and West Ham for his 2nd and 4th league goals I think and tell me that isn’t...

Maybe but there are loads of 18yr old lads playing Sunday league and all levels of football up and down the country. It’s football at the end of the day and the things he knows how to do as CB are worth it over Casemiro who has shown he can’t...
