So you're telling me that 3 players who have played CAM, RW and LW throughout their careers are now strikers? Just because they are the furthest forward players it doesnt make them strikers. They play 6 midfielders - 3 Attacking midfielders, 2 hard working ball winners with the ability to play...

Nothing you have written is correct. I'm not even convinced we are playing 433. Liverpool work because they have no strikers, its 3 CAMs - backed up by hard working central midfielders and with width provided by the wing backs. We dont necessarily need the wingers to come in, if the central...

No but I imagine he has a view on how the government best use its resources.... which is a far better analogy. Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk

Have you ever read inverting the pyramid? Great book, but it explains how latterly football is so fluid that defining teams in normal ways is no longer applicable - as so much is dependent on how players are asked to play within that. People are insistent that we are playing 433 but it could...

Sky Sports have Dowie at the game - Them and Dowie are desperate for a Bolton result. No mention of the disallowed goals and no mention of the penalty shouts. Just Dowie saying Bolton have some great young talent. Ugly bald bastard. Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk

It's not even that we have been playing 433, that implies 3 strikers. It's more a 41221 (or 451 with a cdm and wingers. I'd have thought if we bring him in we shift to a 4231 (or 451 with 2 deeper cm and a cam) I'm fairly sure there was an article last year from Robin's saying that this was...

The mass hysteria amongst our fans is incredible. Everybody breathe and calm down. 2mill with add ons is great, if he kicks on like Madisson then we are in line for another 3-5 down the line. If not then 2 mill was brilliant business. If this lands us Bright and a striker then I cant see a...

I had a corker from a bloke (50ish - a proper terrace Guardiola) and his son (25ish) at Swindon. 'That Dabo is useless, why isn't he pushing up in attack - that's where the danger comes from...' Turns to son. 'Just look at you and Jonesy for our team'

Marosi looks a great keeper. I thought Dabo looked ok - he is going to have to get better at defending diagonal balls, cause he will get peppered all season. Centre halves looked ok, but they need to play with each other a bit more. A few times we played them onside because we weren't holding...

I'm going, only 20 mins for me. Also taking my 6 year old nephew to his 1st ever football game. What an absolute spectacle of football for him to reminisce about in a few years.

Troll.

One of my favourite City players in years - I remember the last game of the 2010(?) Season - we got stuffed 5-0 by Watford at home. It was an absolute dead rubber, we were both mid table, he had been hung out to dry by the defence who were already on holiday. After the 5th he walked behind the...

I think the lad has to go, as the Club can't have that going on in the youth team. As an aside I would be of the same opinion no matter who it was - if it was Baylis I wouldnt be advocating contract termination but I would be behind selling him. As somebody said earlier, it's the Clinton...

I'm Cotswolds based, but would be keen on a south west supporters group!

Going to bump this thread, because I was bored at work today I’ve done some reading on SISU and Sepalla. I thought maybe others would be interested in what I found. 1) Seppala is registered as a democrat in Florida - in a house valued at $600,000 but has a mailing address in London valued at...

The Block 15/16 thing is a pain in the arse for me - I’m the only City supporting mate in my group, so it’s a hard sell as it is to people (£25+ to watch league 1 football) without sitting in amongst the sandwich brigade. On top of that I normally go 5/6 times a year on my own - again I don’t...

How many times does it have to be spelled out to people, 1+1 does not equal two in this context. Each will have a signing on fee, a loyalty bonus, an agents fee and additional salary. This is also the case with ‘free transfers’ - There’s nothing in this life for free, is most definitely true...

I did a Zoology degree (2011-2014) Quite how she thought I was going to change the world having studied Zoology I don’t know.

Off topic - but she was chancellor of my Uni when I graduated. Got a hug and a kiss on the cheek from her (like everyone else)... Then as I went to leave the awkward embrace, she stopped me - twiddled my cheek as if I was a toddler and told me to change the world.
