Essential The Official Football (Soccer) Thread - 'We will not be there.' - Pep Fraudiola

[J Money]

We really are seeing the fall of City. I just assumed they'll spend like crazy in January or during the summer transfer window but my boy might be right. It's over.

They won 4 PL titles in a row they'll be alright just need to revamp the team

Great pass by Tielemans

The one thing I'll never understand is how that isn't an assist. He set up the whole counter. In hockey that's an assist. Either way, City looking bad and Pep looks like he wants to cry.

Haaland just sprinted back to mark someone so they must be getting desperate lol

 

[ThrobbingHood]

Wow… City need a revamp for real.

Rogers won't be at villa for long what a player

Whats up the scouting at the top level that no one spotted Rodgers. What happened to boy when he was at City?

 

[Liu Kang]

City clearly lack physicality in both midfield and defense damn

This 2nd half so far. Yo, Brazy, even at 1-0 this game just looked over. Villa just doing whatever they want.

Only the Rico Lewis breh doing something. I like lil Bro, boy can ball

Rogers was in the City system for years. They saw him everyday. They were asleep at the wheel. That was well deserved after the unlucky break before

Rogers probably got lost in the mix of all the good young players clubs like City amass at youth level.

He performed in the Championship and Villa quickly snapped him up.

Villa are one off those teams tho, that can collapse, so it aint over yet

That's what it is really. Rodgers and Onana been bossing. We've seen so many teams do it. Arsenal, Villa, Liverpool, and other's have just out muscled City. Without Rodri and a healthy Ruben Dias they have no steel. Gundogan is old and hasn't been the same, KDB is old and can't stay healthy, Haaland gets no service, Bernardo Silva doesn't have the freedom he used to, and Foden was exposed this summer as a system player that can't create for himself either.

Sure things run their course, but I think also they just been found out. The entire Premiership's quality has risen, especially in the tactical side of the game.

WHO I SMOKE? CITYYYYY

So City let go of Rodgers, Palmer and probably Liam Delap that's looking like he could be special too.
Rodgers out here being a Yaya Toure clone.

Same thing happened to Cole Palmer. When you're winning as much as City was there's no real reason to push through youth like that.

They just said, Emery found out about him before their FA Cup against Boro last year. He loved what he saw on the game tapes. Roger performed during the game, and that was it. Emery was like snap heeem up
