I don't know how long you've been watching the NFL but ive been doing so since i was small child, i mean like so small i didn't get the concept that offense and defense were different and i thought John Elway was playing every snap.lmao
He's a LOT more creative now so with that comes more errant balls etc. If he's not *playing well* by UK pundits standards it usually means he's being man marked & Eriksen/Son are cheffing sides up in behind him. I've been a bit harsh on him myself this season, tbh. Its easy to forget he's had inferior back up CM's supporting him all season & has had to do a lot more work than previously needed from him.What do you think about Alli's form. Think pundits going in on him is harsh.......he's probably a victim of being so prolific in his first few seasons. Easy to forget he is only 21, and his stats are still very good.
Similar trajection to Sterling.
Its also helped a lot playing Shaw at FB. He links up very well down that left flank. I'd be disappointed if Young isnt played at RB when he comes back from his ban. That would add much needed attacking balance. City have gotten away with playing Delph so far but they could get undone in CL by better competition if their LB spot isnt sorted before Mendy returns in the summer. Danillo cant play there, just as Zappa cant on rt for Chelsea.
Rashford has so much potential but he needs to go somewhere else & get solid reps in his preferred position. He overachieved last season but Utd have jumped up a level & he's not there yet.
It's gonna be interesting to see how Jesse fares with a target on his back now he's not the new guy on the block.
Raheem gets more shit for going shopping in tabloids than Gazza ever did for beating the fuck out of his wife
Pep's done a fantastic job with him already & he's still got a fuckton of ceiling left.

Walker isnt much better than Valencia, imo. Fernandinho has had a phenomenal season. He makes Stones look better than he actually is.Got a horrible feeling JM still regards Young and Valencia as his first choice FBs. The word on the street is he still desperately wants to bring in Danny Rose. Am starting to think Shaw must have fucked his daughter or something. He's done everything he could and should be a guaranteed starter at this point.
City being so majestic going forward conceals that their defence isn't anything special. Stones and Otamendi have been very good and a big improvement on last year, still you feel they have mistakes in them. Kompany obviously cannot be relied upon on this point. Delph, as you mentioned, has done shockingly well, but you's fancy him to come unstuck against Europe's elite.
I rate Sane as the better talent but he's had Delph behind him.You can't argue with results and the figures he's putting up are very impressive. Will be interesting to see how Gareth Southgate completely misuses him in the summer.
see that's where i disagree. Split up the band and he and Sane are running into walls again imhoRaheem gets more shit for going shopping in tabloids than Gazza ever did for beating the fuck out of his wife

Imagine if Mou got a proper RB in, such as an Azpilacueta!
Pogba makes me say wow out loud in an empty room to myself when he's on song.C'mon, Gazza was a character. Sure he liked a drink, but who doesn't. Cheryl was lucky just to get the one slap, too.
Raheem being into fashion or Pogba fucking around with his hair is a far bigger crime.
Thats a fair comment. Not everyone has a De Bruyne AND a David silva spooning them on the weekly.see that's where i disagree. Split up the band and he and Sane are running into walls again imho

Both Sane & Raheem hide a bit when their FB's get pinned back against decent sides. Just doesnt happen often enough to be noticed much, as of yet. Deep stages of CL will give us a clearer sign of where they're both at.
Most of it is down to Pep's coaching.Basically.
Still can't decide if City are an ATG English team or are just enjoying a freak season. Would probably say only KdB, Silva and Aguero are world class. You have to give Pep a lot of credit.

Him, De Bruyne, Kane & Eriksen are a joy to watch.
