Essential The Official Football (Soccer) Thread - We are SO back, the Premier League returns!

something seems to be wrong with the togetherness of the team.
papa hag lies. this might create discord amongst the players when they start to notice.
plus ten hag seems unable to get the defending right and players are making individual errors which is causing frustration.
i thought mcclaren was good at defensive tactics but seemingly not.
if he sticks to going dutch and/or the midfield isn't fixed for next year, next year will be tough
even ETH's "perfected ajax" would have issues playing expansive football against a purring liverpool or city and would probably lose.
so we need to ensure that we are also very hard to beat (even when playing better teams) and ETH hasn't shown that he can do that consistently so far.

The King Of Power
So Otamendi, Fernandinho, David Silva, De Bruyne, Aguero, Sterling and Kompany are not quality? That's 7 of your starting line-up right there inherited. Not to mention he added Gabriel Jesus, John Stones, Leroy Sane, Oleksandr Zinchenko and İlkay Gundogan on top of that.
Man really said that's "over-exaggerating the quality of the squad Pep had in his first season" HAHAHAHHHAHAH
The "2016 Otamendi" that played 34 games in City's 100-point season? 33 games total in their treble season? Same Otamendi that just won the world cup?
2016 Sagna and Yaya are as quality as veteran squad players get. Made 55 apps combined in a 3rd place Prem season while the sheikhs were cooking up fraudulent sponsors and paying people under the table so Pep could splash another £260 million like nothing to build his £1 Billion+ squad
Vs
The same Aubamayeng, Ozil and Lacazette who got us to 8th place twice and were paid to leave or let go for free?
The likes of Kolasinac, Mustafi, Holding, Sokratis, Calum Chambers and Ceballos?
Arteta has the youngest team in Europe fighting for the title with major injuries and barely any squad depth. Cope more.
There is no way you can compare a team that ever had Sead Kolasinac, Shkodran Mustafi and Sokratis to a team that had Fernandinho and David Silva and Kompany. That's nowhere near the same class of players. Dude is just being a blood money apologist.
He didn't even know Manchester City exsisted until "AGUEROOOOOOOOO"
