Are we nearly 23 undefeated yet

Iloveyoubrady

I think it’s just two attacking midfield players. We’ve seen city do it a lot with de bruyne and David silva originally playing together in cm with just Fernandinho behind.

Just posted on a different thread ... am watching the game again on i-player and Foster certainly has the tools in his box ... lets give the lad a chance ... VK knows a helluva lot more than a few on here ... We are in a great position to allow the lad to get up to speed and get that vital 1st goal...

Iloveyoubrady

Massive overreaction. He played well, linked play nicely and won a few good challenges pressing well. Yes he should probably have scored, but his effort wasn’t bad, just went for the chip a touch early. Just looking at some of his good hold up play, combined with his great strength and athleticism, ...

Iloveyoubrady

I know, but someone had to start one. It's really about getting people's opinion on who is our current best 11. Our best possible 11 imo: Muric Roberts THB Beyer Maatson Cork Cullen Benson Tella Zaroury Jay Rod But team for city for me: Muric Roberts ekdal Beyer Taylor Cork Cullen Tella brownhill z...

Iloveyoubrady

Muric
Roberts ekdal Beyer Vitinho
Cullen brownhill
Tella JBG Zaroury
Foster

Would start foster as he’s a big, talented signing, but needs a goal and I don’t think Bristol city will cause us too much of an issue.

Iloveyoubrady

Could see us maybe even going 442 for this game with barnes and Obafemi for the old fashioned big man little man. Millwall will make it even harder for us to play than Luton did. On churlinov, all I’ve seen suggests he’s god awful. However, I didn’t particularly like Zaroury after his first bench ap...

Iloveyoubrady

Think people are getting ahead of themselves now. The difference between the leagues is huge and I’m sure kompany would happily take back Collins, Tarks, cornet, weghorst and maybe wood and McNeil. Pope and Mee simply wouldn’t fit our current style of play. Why do we think the players we brought in ...

Iloveyoubrady

Roberts is fine. Jay looks a bit silly but who really cares. More important we try and get a centre forwards scoring again as it’s only the wingers at the moment.

It’s a long way from that I’m afraid

Doesn’t look far off. I don’t know about pitch science but the turf looks immaculate compared to a lot in the championship.

Iloveyoubrady

I have genuinely never understood why people pretend to be so wise about the clubs finances. The whole loan situation and buy out was evidently an extremely complex arrangement. People seem to have this idea that the club has taken on debt to buy itself. While that is the simple way of making sense ...

He scored a screamer against us a few years back

I bet it wasn't a free kick.

Think it was

Iloveyoubrady

Maatsen I think it’s fairly obvious we should be able to get sorted. THB is highly unlikely to be permanent but I would be quietly confident of another years loan. Beyer would be affordable and sensible, especially with an option in there if we go up. Tella is the one I probably wouldn’t sign. We do...

Iloveyoubrady

I’m not against this but don’t particularly understand it. Foster is surely first choice as a proper all round forward. Obafemi doesn’t seem like someone who can play up top on his own either. Don’t see where he’ll play or where he’ll fit in.

Iloveyoubrady

Not sure who he is but obviously affected Manuel as he said he was sad all day and it was his birthday.

Iloveyoubrady

Romeo is crap. Widely known he is solely there because of daddy.

Iloveyoubrady

BPF 7 nearly made an incredible save Roberts 7 solid THB 7 hope he is ok Beyer 7 hope we can buy. He’s quick. Taylor 7 clumsy first 20 but then was up and down like he always is. Cullen 6 horrible mistake but he’s class Brownhill 8 best I’ve seen him play in the deeper position. Benson 9 unreal to w...

Iloveyoubrady

Think it’s quite clear they can make it in the prem. Man Utd fans were praising benson after he looked as good as anyone on the pitch against them and today both were class against lower level prem side.

Iloveyoubrady

In terms of what we need most, ings would absolutely finish this side.
Who would fit best, Defour would be magical on the ball the amount we have it. Cornet would score loads but where would he play?

Iloveyoubrady

Muric 7
Roberts 6
THB 7
Beyer 8
Maatsen 8
Tella 6
Cullen 7
Cork 7
Brownhill 6
Zaroury 5
Jay 6

JBG 6
Benson 7

Iloveyoubrady

That wasn’t so much a ground out win. Yes we ended up 2-1 up after playing shite first half. But on balance after the second half we still deserved the win. Brownhill missed two huge chances and jay missed a sitter. Swansea didn’t create any chances as good as those 3.

Iloveyoubrady

Zaroury tella and Roberts very disappointing half. Hope they are more up for it second 45.

Iloveyoubrady

The new players and songs (along with us winning) has brought about a really upbeat atmosphere from our following this year. Even if nothings happening there always seems to be an anas song going..!

Iloveyoubrady

He’s excellent. Ironically I think he’s most like a clone of Westwood. More technical on the ball than cork and marney, but has some bite defensively.

Westwood would be a great option to have behind them in this league but he’s off…

Iloveyoubrady

I like the Birmingham 11 a lot but I have a feeling tella might come in for benson tonight.

Iloveyoubrady

Weird question because we’re playing in a completely different way. But realistically VK would happily have pope, Tarks, Mee, Collins, cornet and maybe McNeil back…

Iloveyoubrady

Would anyone swap Zaroury or Benson for Cornet ? Personally I wouldn't and it's incredible business to have picked up these two for relative peanuts. The real triumph of this season has been our recruitment and I'd love to know more about the responsibility for this i.e. which players were identifi...

Iloveyoubrady

I was pleased. We look like we could challenge some prem sides already. Benson looks the absolute business. Went past premier league defenders just as easily as he does championship ones. I think we will see even more from him in future.

Iloveyoubrady

Missed bensons 2nd how did it go ?

Iloveyoubrady

I saw the line up and thought Benson should be nailed on to start. But the way tella and JBG played, and Bensons rusty bench appearance proved me wrong. Kompany knows exactly what he’s doing. Benny obviously needs more minutes before he’s fully up to speed.

Iloveyoubrady

Zaroury and benson are a bit of a joke at this level. They genuinely beat their man 10 times a game it looks stupid.

I wonder what churlinov will be like whether he is similar. I think twine is a more technical less athletic type so maybe plays the brownhill role?

Iloveyoubrady

I imagine us only having 1 in there is a result of our rotation and large squad. Zaroury for example would be nailed on if you took the last 5 games when he’s been starting.

Suprised tella doesn’t make it though as he has played a lot. Maatsen as well, maybe THB.

Iloveyoubrady

We always knew Tarkowski and Pope were good but wondered about Mee. I'm pleased for him that he's doing well at Brentford. I haven't seen much of Collins at Wolves and what little I've seen of McNeil at Everton was not impressive. Pieters at WBA looks like he's doing a good job. Pieters is an inter...

Iloveyoubrady

Don’t know why his size is mentioned. He’s a tricky winger, he’s better small as it improves his agility. It’s not like he’s not strong on the ball either, you can tell he’s a natural athlete look at his legs. Same thing with benson, he can change direction way quicker than anyone else I’ve seen at ...

Iloveyoubrady

We’re not creating. Yes we scored but we just don’t look at all threatening with the ball against bottom of the league.

Zaroury hasn’t done anything but lose the ball. Benson at least sometimes beats his man. Get him on.

Iloveyoubrady

I’d love us to get a marquee striker like Obafemi in to go with all of the wingers/attacking midfielders we’ve got. Obafemi looks like he has some great attributes to me. Absolutely rapid and strong centre forward.

Iloveyoubrady

He has always given off a slightly strange vibe to me but seems a decent bloke and a good player. Look forward to seeing more of him.

Iloveyoubrady

Muric 8 couple of very good saves and a couple of moves notably started from him. Roberts 6 Thought he was pretty quiet but did the job. THB 8 His passing is brilliant and he’s an excellent defender. Taylor 7 I actually like him at CB, good pace and decent passer which I’ve not really noticed of him...

Iloveyoubrady

Jay, tella and brownhill are the obvious ones at the moment. However I think the other wide player will also offer similar. I don’t yet know who that will be - JBG is class at this level but injury prone, Benson looks dangerous to me, Churlinov is highly rated and we look like signing a couple more…

Iloveyoubrady

Josh Sargent proving the huge gap between prem and championship here.

Absolutely horrendous footballer last year looks class here…

Iloveyoubrady

Bit random but if I had to put money on anyone currently in the squad I’d go benson. Even though he was pretty average on Friday he’s pretty quick and has really impressive dribbling ability.

Iloveyoubrady

I’m sorry but I can’t think of a less exciting signing than churlinov at that price. He’s pretty bloody expensive and has 10 goals in his career, 7 of which came for Koln second team. Last season he got 2 in 22 in the German second tier. Can I ask why we are spending a good chunk of money on someone...

Iloveyoubrady

Muric 5 didn’t have to make a save and distribution wasn’t safe. I’m fine with passing it out but a couple of his passes were suicidal. Roberts 6 got forward reasonably and did what he had to defensively. Couple of very good crosses. THB 7 Solid enough and I noticed he is very good at playing passes...

Iloveyoubrady

Is churlinov any good? Never heard of that one.

Iloveyoubrady

I agree - im not overly excited by tella. Would be a good buy but as a loan be probably won’t be a main player this year. He’s therefore only really blocking similar ability players like twine.

Good pace option though I suppose.

Iloveyoubrady

I have never heard of Cabral before but he looks highly rated and seems he would be a bit of a marquee signing in this league.

Iloveyoubrady

I think two of the best things that could happen for us before the window shuts would be for Watford to sell sarr and/or Dennis. They will rip the championship apart…

Iloveyoubrady

Found it interesting at the time. We’d been tracking Cucarella and Cornet for a while apparently and Cornet seemed to be a second choice. Similar players before last summer. Makes me wonder what Cucarella would have done here… would he have also been played up front? Would he have even done well her...

Iloveyoubrady

Brownhill, Cork and Cullen is the best midfield in the league with Bastien and Westwood good extras.

It’s the defence and attack which needs completing before we can be confident.

Iloveyoubrady

I see it as right back, keeper, central midfield and one of left back/centre back sorted. Looks like he’ll want 1 more to fill the centre back/left back role, 1 more in the 2 attacking midfield positions and 1 more up top.
