Today’s Football 2020/21 Season

[Saint Domingo]

They’ve lost Kompany Toure Silva and will be losing Aguero soon. Who has Pep replaced them with?

 

[Rook]

Vardy is better than Kane despite being 33. Getting out of international footie while you are ahead does wonders for your career.

 

[Mat70s]

City are watching good players become old on their watch. Succession planning must be central to their model or they’ll be too much of a peaks and troughs club.

Racist idiot Souness thinks Leicester have been fabulous for some reason, how surprising

 

[twoblue]

Vardy does dive for it but its always going to be given when there's arms over the striker.

Brighton pen over turned yesterday was very similar. Pogbas arm was all over him.

 

[Bullens Rd]

They’ve lost Kompany Toure Silva and will be losing Aguero soon. Who has Pep replaced them with?

He's probably not that bothered because he surely won't be staying many more years - his deal expires next season and he'll have been at City six seasons by then. Unless he's up for a major rebuild maybe he'd like some time off or to go and try to turn PSG into CL winners or something.

 

[twoblue]

For City having such a world class academy you'd think they'd have a striker somewhere.

Rory delaps son looked alright the other night

 

[number4.]

Fair to say age doesnt bother that fella

I think there plan is succesion plan post Pep - no point in bring Pep players in for possibly one year

Really difficult to do that though, at least in this league. Only United during the Ferguson years, and arguably Chelsea (though even then its been ruinously self-destructive) have done it.

 

[TheBigIguana]

on NBCSN right now, Rebecca Lowe brings up that there have been 18 penalties already this PL year in 24.5 matches this year. last year there were 8 after 30 games.

So? If it is harder to defend deep because you might give away penalties then maybe teams will stop defending so deep and I think we all agree that is a great thing.

Wasn’t really a england legend though. Think he couldn’t be bothered to international weeks playing second fiddle to Kane, when he could be sat at home drinking red bull and eating Haribo

would be nice if he could win another league and see Klopp off though.

 

[Jamo Martinez]

I'll be honest. I prefer an unpopular rule applied consistantly than the other way round.

you have to kick all the olds out as well. the ones, especially former stars often become toxic as they are slowly pushed aside
