I feel pretty confident at this point saying that Lampard is doing a better job of getting a tune out of a 352 than Robins did this season.

Systems are more important than individual players. A 433 looks wonderful on paper, and leaving star players on the bench will put managers under pressure to justify their decision. But this squad has shown a fundamental inability to meet the expectations made of them from a 433 system, and it...

Dovin on the wing, make the City sing DOOO DOOOO DOOOO DOOOOO

Incredible that when our keepers were bad it was all the coach’s fault. Now that our GK is playing well, “he was always good”.

Do you? We didn’t today. We can’t tear up a team that works in reality for one that looks good on paper.

I have little doubt he will eventually but I don’t think this current squad is up to it

433 is hypothetically very good for us; 532 is actually good

If we’re winning games then I don’t really mind who’s on the bench We haven’t shown anything like this kind of consistency and solidity this season playing a 433

Why would we go back to the 433?

£8 million for Liam Kitching?

He looks miles better than he did at the start of the season - if Williams is to blame for Collins’ decline then he’s also to blame for Dovin’s improvement.

Don’t even think we’d want Horner to invest anyway - as an F1 executive he has zero experience with sport.

Thankfully the algorithm has spared me

Yes, but our defensive and GK coach was supposed to be incompetent, Rhys Carr a middle manager with a clipboard, and our Performance Director completely unqualified. Hard to imagine our coaching staff as the best in the division if that’s all true.

Can’t say I encounter her much in my everyday cultural diet - if anything I think she keeps a pretty low profile these days given how famous she was

Credit must go to Aled Williams for turning Dovin into a very confident and capable keeper 👏

Can’t believe a football fan would show emotion over something that wasn’t life or death, must be unique to City fans

I think it’s very hard for fans to gauge things like this. Conventional wisdom was that our coaching staff was useless a few months ago and it’s mostly the same people today.

Is Christian Horner even rich?

It’s imperative we stick with 3ATB - our centre-backs simply can’t compete in a 4, but this formation gives us stability and frees up Torp and Rudoni to focus on getting forward.
