    He is very talented. But I would argue against this edition of IFK Göteborg being described as quality opposition. It’s a poor team in a poor (albeit entertaining) league. His next step is huge. He is yet to find a level that is beyond him. But I expect he’ll need time before bossing midfields...

    Team for City

    Vicario Porro - Royal - Davies - Destiny Bissouma Skipp - GLC Kulusevski - Son - Johnson That’s the starting 11 I’d like to see. Though I suspect PEH is preferred to Skipp. It’s a shame moving Kulusevski out wide after his showing against Villa. But I’m not keen on Gil starting.

    Son is not a complete footballer but really - is there a better finisher in world football than him? Absolute world class. Love him.

    Player Watch: Ivan Perisic

    I’ve loved seeing him as a super sub this year. It’s a blow for us but a really big loss for him personally. Really sad news.

    Next Manager Watch

    Instead of Postecoglu being “Nuno 2.0” I’m thinking the situation is more like if we had actually hired Fonseca. I don’t believe that timeline is covered in trophies and glory but it’s hard to image it being more grim than this one.

    Player Watch - Arnaut Danjuma

    Hello! Silly question to smart people who have actually seen him play. Most of the compilations only show him shooting hard and low. In taking penalties this seems even more intentional. Is this just a quirk of the goals he happened to score last season or does he really only, or mostly anyway...

    Tottenham Takeover Talk

    Clubs owned or sponsored by states have been awful for football. Inflating the market and making many European leagues much less competitive. Football is less interesting than it used to be. I would prefer if this club didn’t contribute to the acceleration of it’s downfall. I understand that...

    Player Watch Player Watch: Dejan Kulusevski

    While Kulusevski was under appreciated amongst British football fans I think the opposite is true of Isak. He is a good striker with some pace, a nice ability to run with the ball at his feet and to finish chances. He is a good player but some of the talk around him make him out to be one of the...

    Player Watch Player Watch: Dejan Kulusevski

    I guess everybody on forums such as these does this but discarding a player you’ve not actually seen play based on… a feeling (?) is a very strange thing. Kulusevski is a very good footballer. Technical and robust. He doesn’t move like David Silva with the ball but he can actually make passes...

    Euro U21 Championship 2015

    I dont think a single Swedish player would get into the England team. Guidetti didn't do anything remarkable in Scotland, Kiese-Thelin has flopped in France and the most impressive player in the team, Baffo, has been unable to hold down a starting position in the worst team in the Swedish...

    Arsenal Vs Tottenham: NLD Match Thread

    Lennon and Sandro on at half time. This is wide open, but we can't keep surrendering possession.

    Premiership Fixtures : 25th/26th February

    I think he might have been injured. That's the reason Pav was a starter in the euros anyway.

    Transfer figures question

    Chelsea is the biggest loser, paying big fees and huge wages for a very average squad.

    Per Mertesacker

    I think Vermaelen/Djorou is a weaker pairing than Mertesacker/Koscielny. Vermaelen has been very poor these last few games. I'm not worried.
