Tom13 Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 Just now, Genie said: £45m seemed a good deal for City at the time. He has 3 goals for Chelsea and I’m pretty sure at least 2 were pens. Is his number of goals so far supposed to count against him? He's a creative player, he played a number of quality through balls against us, really stood out to me. Two were pens, but three goals and two assists in 515 PL minutes this season. Two assists in two in the EFL Cup, also a goal in the Super Cup and Community Shield (for City). Anyway, numbers aside, can just see he's a huge talent. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So once you're there, and in the case of Newcastle, after a 20 yr absence, and you draw some genuinely top teams yet you don't play your strongest 11. Truly bizarre. I honestly don't get it. They've got Bournemouth on Saturday ffs. Botman, Isak, Barnes, Murphy, Burn and Targett (for what it's worth) all injured and Tonali now banned from playing. Wondering which part of that lineup you think is weakened? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He really is a top-level playmaker in the making. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wondering which part of that lineup you think is weakened? Only ones who didn't start and potentially could have were Gordon and Almiron. But they both looked gassed on Saturday evening so not that surprising that they didn't start. Plus with how many injuries they have (some of which must have been due to spending too much time playing in red zone) they probably didn't want to risk losing even more key players. Didn't Wilson get an injury/was playing with an injury also? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's also the youngest player on that list, by at least a few years (apart from Gordon). He probably doesn't get to take many set pieces (yet) either.

They've got Bournemouth on Saturday ffs. From a financial point of view and to appeal to players/retain them, it's more important for Newcastle to get top 4 (or 5) again and get back in the CL next season than it is for them to run deep now. It's the only way to actually progress, consistency in the league is what gets you there. It's why I'd never take winning a league cup but finishing 12th, it would set us back years.
