crying lmao this sub proudly put a rapist into the team of the decade

Frimpong or Balde would be great because their attacking focus would help free up our wingers a lot

Gabi - New CF/Jesus - Frimpong

Odegaard - Saka

New CM - Rice

As a Midfield + attack would be so good

if you wanna go on about take ons

last season we had a 46% completion rate

so far we’re at 44%

we have a better carries into the penalty are rate this season

prog carries in general were slightly better last season being 21.7 per 90 as of right now’s 20.5

we attempt more carries this season 20 per 90 vs 17.5

and we have more completed carries into final 1/3rd per 90 than last season as well

its classic really, partey injured so while out has become the answer to every problem and the best thing since sliced bread.

this team wil have no real issue moving on from him at all

Please, our take on and carrying stats have been a mixture of marginally better or worse than last season, hardly speaking to some clossal regression without TP

Rice prog passes per 90 - 7

TP last season - 9

Ppl act like one of them is breaking the line 50 times per game and his abscence is why we cant progress properly

275k per week base wage we got taken to the cleaners ffs

he is, but he is the best DM in the world, and it makes little sense long term to movie him away from that

• our 8s have been off form / arent carriers over distance regardless
• our fullbacks are not archetypal overlappers

both of these in tandem mean opposition defenders know locking off our wingers is a safe task —> saka and nelli doubled/tripled up on every single game.

saka is truly world class and so has still managed to produced near enough a contribution every game but you see (despite still having incredible talent) with martinelli, whether the cf is jesus or eddie or kai or trossard he has struggled to take off like last season.

this is where a lot of people’s argument for moving martin to the left / making vieira our lcm stems from, as it puts him on his strong foot to play through passes to martinelli. he should be getting chances like that first goal vs liverpool at the emirates or his offside finish vs everton a lot more.

Martinelli in general could have a different role to maximise his effectiveness, i mean what would you say is the best role for someone who is lighning quick, a great finisher, excellent technically and has an engine that henry ford would be jealous of? We essentially have a brazillian hueng-min son and the team is set up for him to play like jack grealish.

the field tilt chart on this match is gonna look like partey hooked up to a lie detector

drawwwwwwww

ref end the game now

will we make profit on?:

• lokonga
• tavares
• Ramsdale

Last big 6 team we beat in the league by 4 or more goals?

i half jokingly thought that because kai’s best attributes so far have been his workrate and combativeness while being extremely risk averse in posession he could probably do alright at full back

lo and behold i see yesterdays germany teamsheet, no idea if they use fullbacks like we do but it was funny to see nonetheless

anyone thinking the same or similar is gonna happen to city lmao they have fucking ted hoffman as their lawyer theyre not getting deducted shit

with this whole gk thing its tiring to be swapping the starting keeper around every season or two, top teams just dont operate like that

guys sleeping on bellerin, him at his best is only behind sagna in terms of emirates rbs and in the last 10 years hes been the best out of the choices
