VillaChris Posted August 18 Share Posted August 18 19 minutes ago, sharkyvilla said: The funny thing is Poch had just about struck a decent formula for them and they got rid He probably only needed a couple of signings in the summer, instead they went back to the clusterfudge strategy. Madueke had a really good game v us on the right, gave Digne all sorts of trouble at VP in the second half. Unused sub today and talk of Newcastle wanted him. That's their problem with their strategy right there. Sign a young player and he warms the bench for 12 months. Then he gets a run of starts and some consistency and they change the coach and he's suddenly out of favour and expendable. They sell him and then Neto gets injured and misses half the season and Maresca or whoever else is there will be moaning about injuries as Poch was. Imagine Arsenal doing all that with Saka and Martinelli. Instead they gave both time to establish themselves. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enzo Fernandez on the pitch reminds me of Pogba a bit tbh. So much hype but performances flatter to deceive. Odd hollywood ball from his own half but he's pretty easy to run off as we saw in the build up to Man. City's second. To me Chelsea had better balance when he got injured and they play Caciedo and Gallagher together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted August 18 Share Posted August 18 It really makes you wonder what on earth is going on there. I can only assume they have lots of high paid, experienced backroom chiefs who all get no say and Todd (who clearly has no idea about football) is making the calls. They need to clear out about 50% of the first team squad to have any sort of idea of merging what’s left into a team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it has to be Boehly, a billionaire with a toy, and no understanding of the game. It's great to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoony Posted August 18 Share Posted August 18 Looked like a team thrown together with a new manager and no real structure trying to learn a new system. City barely got out of neutral with a weakened squad. We’d have beaten them easily today. Think it’s going to be same old from them this season.

pas5898 Posted August 18 Share Posted August 18 4 hours ago, VillaAlex said: But they aren't a team and won't be with all the signings and they won't succeed continuing this path. The destroyed us, and was easily the 4th best team at the end of last season. If they kept Poch, kept that team together and just added a quality CB + Neto they’d easily be pushing for third behind Arsenal and Man City. Fortunately they are owned by clueless owners who think real life football is football manager with cheats enabled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaVilla Posted August 18 Share Posted August 18 i found the new hand ball thing interesting, last season that would have been a nailed on penalty. Is it the rule now, that if the hand is in a remotely natural position, it isnt a pen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_AA_786 Posted August 18 Share Posted August 18 Making Enzo captain shows what a mess they are. Honestly the upheaval they're still to see in the coming weeks would be unparalleled for an entire summer but they'll do it in under a fortnight. Not sure how many they can flog to Saudi this time so they might have to accept offers for players they don't want to lose. It'll be mid/late September before Maresca even knows who's staying. Apparently available for exits but probably missing loads... loan (Carney, petrovic) & sale (kepa, Lukaka, sterling, Gallagher, Chilwell, chalobah, disasi, Badiashille, Madueke, Fofana, broja). You could make a decent PL team with that; Kepa Disasi Chalobah Badiashille Chilwell Madueke Gallagher Carney Sterling Broja Lukaku Madness! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either play him, or let him go (with a side order of “he’ll be toxic in the dressing room if you don’t do what he wants”).
