The Germany job only comes around every so often. Löw is on the way out and the job is his to have when they inevitably have a terrible Euro 2020. No team goes on to play well for more than 3 seasons. This is the 3rd season of the cycle. Runners up in 2018, winners in 2019 and possibly PL and CL winners 2020. The key players, full-backs aside, are all in their prime years. So they will peak together and decline together over time. I see the cycle ending after next season at max.

He’d take the Germany job after Euro 2020 if he wins The PL. Done all he can with Liverpool if he achieves that.

These were his own teammates. Xavi, Puyol, etc. They had names for John Barnes at Liverpool too. But seen as he's thick, he doesn't even care. He defends racists.

If she’s moved home for reasons outside of marital problems, then this was a terrible decision. Mourinho basically lived out of a suitcase in Manchester while his family remained in London, and it didn’t work. It broke him. You needs roots and stability. Ferguson’s wife knew that the job came 1st and accepted it. She stayed by his side and let him get on with things. She even talked him out of retiring the 1st time. Circa 2002. Ferguson would have been a difficult man to be married too. A workaholic. I imagine Pep and Mourinho are the same, but their wives are from a different era. And probably want independence. Not just a housewife basically.

Being defensively solid went out with Mourinho and swellman.

If only TFIA and you could agree to shoot each other. You miserable fuck. AWB is terrible. All he does is put in 6 slide tackles a game.

If anything, it's getting worse. lol. I've accepted that Rshford is a LF like Mané, and 15-20 goals a season is all we can ask for from him.

Leicester only have to play 1 game a week on average, which is a huge advantage. But yeah, all it takes is an injury to Vardy or Ndidi and they are done. Klopp should see it out from here. City/Leicester/Chelsea would need to win every game.

I've said this for maybe 2 years now, that City will face a big rebuild sooner or later. Agüero, Silva, Yaya, Fernandinho, Kompany, Zabaleta and Hart were the spine of the team for years. They managed to replace Yaya, Zabaleta and Hart with Gündoğan, Walker and Ederson. But players like Agüero and Silva are very, very difficult to replace long term. They've had a lot of bad luck with injuries compared to Liverpool. KDB last season. Mendy his entire City career. Sané and Laporte this season. Ederson missing today. These things will affect any team, let alone City's squad. I don't think Pep has the patience to manage through a rebuild. So he will be gone soon. That will be their XI moving forward (next season) Jesus Sterling---------------------------------RW Bernardo-------KDB Rodri Ageliño-----Laporte----CB------Walker Ederson I can see Bravo, Otamendi, Stones, Mendy, Fernandinho (retire or move to China/Brazil), Silva (confirmed) Sané, Mahrez and maybe even Agüero all leaving within the next 12-14 months. That's still a quality XI. But would require a reliable CB to parter Laporte, and a quality RW should Sané leave.

He's stronger and better with his back to goal than Rashford, but his movement in behind is poor. It's his desire that is lacking. That hunger to score goals and to be involved in the game at all times. He lack it. He has the ability to be a top player. His left foot could be better, but he has unique ability. He's good at finding cutbacks inside the box and at playing through balls from 15-20 yards out. But I find his movement off the ball poor most of the time. I actually think he's better suited to being a 2nd striker, while Rashford is better at LW/LF. So we still have room for a ST. ST Rashford-----Martial-------James CM-----CM

Will he do a Kevin Keegan 1995/1996, or will he now go on to win the league after putting 9 points between himself and Pep? We can only hope for: A long term injury to Salah or Mané That their CWC games in Qatar disrupt their rhythm by the time they return

Sterlinghaha. Another one of your tap-in merchants.

Pep and you hyped him too much. He never had a chance.

I told you this was an ageing City side. It has shown this season. They fulfilled their potential by wining 2 in a row and 5 out of 6 domestic trophies. They didn’t replace Kompany.

It's not. It's just terrible inconsistency from the various VAR teams across the league. Where they start drawing the line from is still open to human interpretation, unfortunately. It will take another season or two for them to work out the kinks and find consistent guidelines. The PL handle it worse than other leagues.
