And Arteta wanted GS to pick Ramsdale for the England squad.

Think thats Ramsdale in the squad now for sure.

Not a rugby person and only just caught on that second half, great game. Thought that conversion onto the post might have cost Italy the game, fair play to them

Ps. I can see why people voted for Giorgia meloni, lookin good

Well done Millwall

Dias has injury problems. Doku is doing great. 

Phillips was never good enough, that was undoubtedly a bad signing

The rest are all attitude issues. Laporte isn't even there anymore.

These are all expensive signings, so again, why are we giving any excuse for this? Philips was never good enough, then why did pep sign him? Shouldn't this be part of why perhaps he is overrated? Those you said had attitude problem, so was research done on these players before making any transfer bids?

Doku was doing great from the start, but hasn't really been the same lately. But ok, he was injured before so time will tell.

Dias, you can blame injuries, or may be not who knows.

But the narrative behind him being able to improve players is false.

There is only one player gone backwards under Guardiola, someone we know well. Other than that, strange take.

Grealish

Ruben Dias - he was superb when he first came. Remember why Pep signed him? they were having a bit of a shit start and losing at (home?) to Leicester by some shit high score. Pep found a solution though, spend £50m on Dias and he did solve that problem. For me , he seems to have gone backwards for the last 2 seasons.

Laporte - again quite underwhelming since he joined City

Cancelo - great at first, prob fell out with Pep hence the swift departure?

Doku - even he is less exciting (ok he only just came back from injury time will tell)

Leory Sane - he was again exciting to be begin with, complete fell off towards the end of his City career

Kalvin Phillips - i dont need to  explain

Probably have missed a few, but if i look at the positives, i would say, Stone, Walker are the two main one that I think has improved under him. I try not to include KDB, Silva and Rodri as they have just kept up with standard, not improved.

I couldn't help but went for Pep.

Spends billions on talented players, probably more players have gone backwards then those who held to their standard under his tenure. The narratives of him improving players is a complete myth. 

We will never find out how he would be like if there is no resource available. But my gut feel is that he would be similar to a Tony Adam, or an ex Liverpool player. He will ask league two standard players to play in unfamiliar positions, pinging 60 yard passes etc, and hope for that moment of magic. Not one that would be able to maximise output

What did he do?

Clown face celebration that looks to have directed to the Sheff Utd fans.

But looks like he does that sometimes anyway

Something needs to be done about these newly promoted clubs having ZERO ambition and just taking the payday.

I reckon, if you don't reach a certain amount of points in the Prem (and get relegated), you get a 6pt deduction the following season in the Championship.
If you don't have a certain goal difference, you get another 6pt deduction in the Championship.

 

It's the only way this yo-yo nonsense is going to stop. It's embarrassing. 

So punishing those who might have punched above their weight to get to the PL, but with a limited income stream so can't afford to buy a new 11 PL standard players? What do you want them to do?

Not cool Harvertz that celebration was a bit too much 

If they walk off the pitch now that's a 0-5 forfeit right?

Joking aside I do feel bad for them, but more angry we managed 4 PTS only from them

This is embarrassing 0-3

0-15 at this rate

Game over, still find a goal in him even he was pure shit all game

Oops I apologies, well done pep, well done foden

For what most would say the best tactical genius in Pep, so far is more from like the school of Stevie , just relying on that moment of magic

What idiot would stop the momentum of your own team by throwing a baby blue flare into your own ground

It's amazing Ten Hag has more booking this season than Maguire

Foden useless word removed well done

Miss of the season 

Foden would score that against the likes of Luton

Ederson only makes worldie saves against us it seems. So **** inevitable 

FFS you Man blue word removed

Shame Jack is not playing, he usually plays well vs Man Red word removed

Small section of boos at final whistle. kompany will probably be ok to stay at his job.

Burnley is just so toothless and soft. That's them confirmed in championship I think
