UEFA Champions League - League Phase: Matchday 4 (Nov 5 & 6)

[2Smokeyy]

@A_G @2Smokeyy @OnlyOne this Hjulmand display is scary. Top player.

Also throw all the money at Gyokeres I’m convinced.

Had to put things into perspective with him considering we have Kai Havertz at CF for us lol

He’s a gamble worth taking imo.

@Trilly would be interesting to see what Nelli Jr would do when the lights are bright…

Arteta x Arsenal to improve his floor/consistency, natural talent to do the rest.

I’ve given up on explaining that to A-M though. They’d rather believe that there are only like three wingers out there that would improve us.

Just think we need someone at LW like Leao. This season, everytime Nelli has to 1vs1, i think Leao can do this better than Nelli

You think that this is easy?

He is the best winger in the world on his day.
Unfortunately this is very seldom the case last 2 years.
He is best in counters, not so good when he is against low block.

Yes, I do.

Look at what the system has done for Havertz.

We don't buy it, because he's consistently been inconsistent for years. His focus ebbs and flows and he's a lazy player on the pitch. Turns into a ghost for long stretches of the game, doesn't track back, reduces himself to a poacher in the counter. I doubt you can change this with the system.

It's a shame because he could be a Ballon d'Or winner otherwise. Absolute baller.

 

[HattoriHanzo]

Yes, I do.

Look at what the system has done for Havertz.

There is a big difference between Leao and Havertz, work ethic which comes from personal mentality.
I don't know if you can change that.
Leao is not kid anymore, he is 25.

Hope Vinicius recovers from Maignan brutal attack.

Football really won when Rodri got his ballon dOr

If that was a PL game, City win or draw that. The two penalties would never have been given against them.

Shows what we are up against.

Is that what happened against Fulham and west ham last season for us ?

 

[Gooner Zig]

Really annoying that Liverpool still haven't played anyone good this season.

They would have lost to us if we didn't have to field a Carabao Cup backline for the last 20 or so minutes

English refs at it again

We should be allowed to have a bad game, or two, FFS

The referee corruption means that we're not, though.

You're literally pointing to two games where we slipped up. How privileged are you?

 

[Synical]

It's from an interview where this gentleman here famously says, "Why are you gay?" to a gay man. My assumption is that the people who have replied to you do not realize that you are a woman and so when you said that Amorim was attractive, their response was to post this because they believed you were a man calling another man hot.

That's what I thought. How pathetic

Forget Leao, he seems to be a divisive topic.

Work ethic is a product of the club/manager you play for. Look at Laca who literally gassed himself out every game for Arteta’s system. Many of pep and Klopp’s players earned their ‘hard worker’ tags from buying into their manager’s philosophy.

If you want to argue that Leao doesn’t have the stamina to play in Mikel’s system then that’s fine but anyone we sign will do their defensive responsibilities or end up on the bench.

About stamina, Premier league is much faster and more intense than Serie A.
Could he adapt fast enough?
If he is world class level, he should.
Because this is definition of world class player for me, he delivers and makes difference consistently, in every league.

 

[Farzad]

Funny how City aren’t the greatest team of all time when Webb and the boys aren’t reffing their games. Hmmmm @Synical

Leao is garbage massively overrated

Overrated?
Maybe.

Garbage?
Definitely not!
