This season was always about the FA Cup and top 4 for me, the amazing start we've had has given us a little cushion with the latter. Hopefully we get a kind cup draw and tick over with points until we get everyone back. I think we were always going to loose Madders at some point, he's looked...
No wonder his confidence is low if he has no idea if the club wants to keep him. Club waiting to see if new manager fancies him perhaps.
Players like to feel loved.
All true. It didn't need to be that way, I would have seen Poch's return as he was burnt out and needed time away/new experiences. Come back recharged with some lessons learnt on both sides. But that's an outside looking in opinion without egos involved I guess.
Levy is gambling either way...
Agreed, also all this nice lad business. Unless you know him personally, there's no way of knowing if he is or isn't. I don't even believe him to be "spurs through and through" as some claim. Yes he kicked some chelsea players once but he's still here as no one bigger wants him & he has a...
He does well in London derbys but that seems his level. In the biggest games ie cup semi's or finals or even the top of the table clash with Leicester that year etc he's seems to have his quieter games or misses chances. This is for England too missing pens etc.
It's not a disrespect, he's...
I'm not so sure. If you include England he has missed two penalties in big matches (scored the rebound against Denmark I believe), lost his nerve against France.
We've had his best years. He's been amazing but isn't one of those big match players that drag you over the line we so badly need.
I...
It was a shame, plus covid meaning no one could welcome him back, however I think its been hinted the truth is somewhere in the middle of that.
Perhaps saving himself for internationals for whatever reason at certain times or just not fully committed. Maybe the love of the crowd would have...
Agreed. I wonder how much old school scouting goes on these days though, is it more stat based?
Grealish for example seems to have off field concerns to me but it didn't seem to bother city.
Won't be fitness. Probably not committed enough, we saw how his interview negatively affected the squad before the villa game. He'll be kept away until gone or recomitted.
Hopefully fined to the hilt at the moment for letting the club and fans down.
I couldn't agree more, made worse to us fans by the working of it as "loyalty bonus".
Just playing devils advocate though, I'm guessing it doesn't work quite that simply, being that he's the asset we are selling I guess even with his shady behaviour he's entitled to some sort of cut.
Would love...
