Ahhh, Kennedale Gleesh. What a player.

I remember my best buddy being a Celtic supporter and he idolised Dalglish (still does) . He was going to give me a slap because we signed him!

Any idea how accurate this ESPN article on VAR decision making is?

If you get a chance check out the u23 match against Arsenal. Glatzel did a lovely assist and then surrounded by 4 defenders in the box, managed to glide past them and score. Clearly been watching Salah.

I'd love to see Glatzel succeed after the bad run he's had with injuries.


2.) 29 Oct 2021 04:28:36
Honestly I'd recall Glatzel for December and January like we did with Nat Phillips a couple of Januarys ago. Or recall him permanently as he's not been playing that much for Tranmere.

I'm just incredibly worried about our attacking options this January with Mane and Salah at the Afcon. Plus Elliott, who could have covered right wing, will still be injured. We need as many bodies we can get. I think new faces coming in to help cover is unrealistic as they would need time to adjust to the team and that's even before you take into account transfer negotiations.


3.) 29 Oct 2021 12:10:31
Was that u23 game before he got injured? He’s hardly been pulling up any trees at Tranmere, so either he’s not getting a chance or he hasn’t got back to where he was before injury.

Got his first Tranmere goal recently.

I have an interest in improving my coaching so have been watching some vids on youtube that analyse various games. One of them was on the recent city match. He made the point that much of the midfields problems were due to the front 3 not pressing very well. In particular that Salah and mane were pressing as if they had Firmino alongside them (who is much better than Jota at hiding the option to the defensive midfielder) . So Ederson was able to pick out not only the fullbacks but also Rodri which meant in turn that our midfield were not only easy to bypass but also in turn overload our fullbacks. Im now going to go back and rewatch the game if this changes my mind.

I thought similar when I watched the game, Jota cannot press or read the game like Firmino does. I do not want to criticize Jota too much, that position is very difficult to play and you have to be clever knowing when to press or to stand off. It is easy to waste energy and look like you are running around like a headless chicken. Maybe he need more time.

For me, I cannot understand why Firmino didn't start (maybe fitness) but I am not the manager and I am sure he knows much better than I do.

{Ed0666's Note - Jota needs to play wide as he’s more effective there. Simple! I was surprised he kept his place also as he has been mediocre of late.,


2.) 05 Oct 2021 10:35:15
And Firmino can't keep hold of the ball and lacks pace. We could do with another Salah up top and another VVD and Trent at the back.
City need another striker, United a holding midfielder and I need some more bottles of McEwan's Champion ale but life's not fair.


3.) 05 Oct 2021 11:36:39
It's games like this where all those who want Firmino dropped for a "regular no 9" should start to realise exactly what Bobby gives the team.
Jota's goals are invaluable, but his overall contribution to the team up front just doesn't compare to what Bobby gives them.


4.) 06 Oct 2021 18:33:58
Flash, there’s a reason Bobbie has started the most games since Klopp arrived and converted him to a false 9. Jota is not in his league yet when it comes to doing what the team needs and playing that unique role. Jota is a goal scorer however if it was only about goals, Bobbie would have been sold ages ago. Just my opinion.

Good to see Mane is starting to smile a lot more. Looking forward to him trying to do karate kicks again.

I think the goal will do his confidence the world of good. Hope he gets back to his unplayable best, sooner rather than later.


2.) 14 Sep 2021 09:57:01
Bad patch that's all, he'll be back to his best in no time. Against Leeds he could've scored a few, he needed that goal to boost him. We're laughing if or when he starts knocking them in as often as we know he can.

read an article today that reckoned that RM are very much front runners. When they extended Ancelotti's contract, it "coincidentally" lined up with when Xabis new contract at Bayer expires. And apparently Bayer renewed Xabis contract when it looked like ancellotti was going to leave RM last year.

If Xabi wins the league this year then the next step for him is Champions League. Id reckon his chances of winning that at Bayern are much better than at Bayer. And he would know German league pretty well by now so that would make the job easier.

I reckon Zidane might be a good option. You just know if Pep G gets in his way, that he's just a headbutt away from clearing out the tech area.

he might be good but pretty certain 400k a week will cause issues in a team where only salah is on anything approaching that.

andrew jennings is one of the best journos i've ever read. All he cared about was finding the truth. If he was alive today he would be absolutely nailing Infantino to the wall. Can just imagine what he wouldve made of Cefarin screwing up the Champions league in Paris not to mention how he tried to manipulate the investigation into Mancity.

You guys should watch Klopps interview. Have to go back to his comments on Tierney to find another interview where he was so direct about a ref.

Pep certainly has had a legup (even at Barcelona he inherited a club with Messi Xavi and Iniesta all emerging) but i don't think the reason he wouldn't go to a club in trouble is because he is a flat track bully. To be fair to him, i think he is more about the search for perfection and so would prefer a club that will give him the money to try and find that. Its prob the reason why he constantly has to fight the urge to tinker and why his players tend to burn out or struggle in big matches.

Aah thanks nicolBecker. Sorry I was genuinely confused. I would agree that diaz is probably trying a bit too hard atm but in last couple weeks i reckon he has improved. Not sure I agree about your view on Gakpo. He works hard and does well linking up players. But yeah Gravenberch is someone Im still undecided about. can't work out whether he has been badly trained or just thinks defending is beneath him.
