Match Day Thread General matchday thread.

I don't know if this is sarcasm or not!

 

Yeah it will always be impossible to know unless Dyche is ever handed a shot at a club like City. I just don't see him as having the credentials to be working with and improving the top footballers in the world.

 

amazing a young player improves with experience - who would have thunk it .

 

Yeah they're at the level of competition that they're now at. They're ****e, pointless pretending they're anything else.

Just checked the Czech league table. Slavia Prague are 2nd. 10 points behind Slavia Praha and 6 points ahead of Jablonec. I really wouldn't be worried about them if I was you.

 

I only said it was a tricky fixture because of Benfica's home record in Europe. You should piss it now.

 

That's the same team. Praha is Prague is Czech.

 

Oh yeah, I was looking at Sparta Prague in 2nd.

Still ****e

 

Of whom? Read back and reassess our roles in this conversation.

 

So he’s improved, better let your fellow red know mate.

 

I think that was partly his point. I'm not convinced Pep is some amazing manager but I do think more players have improved under him than got worse and given that they try and buy the best players and often at young ages then you'd expect that (as you suggest). Some are arguing Sterling isn't better than he was, I'd say he is and that it's normal. Pep factor? Could he hack it at Burnley? I'm not convinced but who cares, he doesn't and neither do Man City fans.

If people want to argue he's a fraud though then his trophy record, accompanied by all those managers who have failed would suggest otherwise. Can you compare him with managerial greats like Clough, Shankley and Ferguson. I'm not convinced you can given what he has at his disposal but City are simply the most recent in a long line of teams accused with "buying the title" and they won't be the last.

 

That's a pretty fair and balanced post.

We'll have none of that on the PL board thank you very much.

 

What did it say?

 

The Saudis will be the next

 

Yeah that £50m a year they promised for players and wages, would have had the entire league ****ting it’s kecks.

 

There are some absolutely atrocious opinions on the last few pages. Too many to focus on one but some of you should be ashamed.

Mostly Peej tbh.


edit- just seen the “Sterling hasn’t improved” posts. Ffs.

 

You like that one

Did you see my Klopp vs Pep one?

 

I stopped reading back to bleach my eyes.

 

He's no better than when he was at QPR.

 

You may want to go back in a min.

 

Correct.

This actually happened with Dean Parrett.
