His biggest problem should be the 115 ifykyk
lucky him, we barcelona want that kind of problem
Well Rodri ain’t a problem anymore
Well, no need to worry about fitting De Bruyne and Rodri in for a while. Problem solved I guess
Its funny how peps biggest issue is basically "i wish i had trent"
Pep's new tactic is the same as his old. Play such boring possession football that when the opposition fall asleep you score. Yawn.
Foden is best winger
Didnt walker play as a centre back for england? Seems like having him on the right and lewis pushing into midfield would accomodate things quite well, as for Foden, I don't see Grealish or Savio holding that place down, so stick him on the left?
Cant we play walker in goal
The best problem to have for a manager.
Suffering from success
Easier done than said you mean
The only real problem is fitting in Walker. Man city have so many matches this season, they can afford to give adequate game time to the rest. The squad depth is insane
That makes it 116 problems then
More tactical options for Pep…..😂😂 Dont fool yourself
Oh no I have to many options! I’m sure he hates being able to completely change the tactics at half time or minute 60 just by subbing two players, what a jam!
It’s crazy how city’s best player last season doesn’t get in to the team
three best players and walker was the third….?
Phil Foden is one of the most fascinating tactical problems in world football. Guardiola and Southgate both spoke repeatedly about how they see his best position long term being central midfield, but that he can't play there effectively in the present because of his defensive weaknesses: primarily lapses in concentration and occasional lack of work rate, to a smaller degree marking and tackling ability. He said a few months ago the two major aspects of his game he needs to improve are defensively for when he plays centrally, to help his teammates, and to be stronger in duels. On the wing he's too prone to drifting inside when Guardiola needs dedicated width, and dropping back to receive the ball. He's simultaneously very talented, coming off the back of a fine season; and an issue because he doesn't yet have the complete skill set and play style to suit any position on the field. As a number 10 he can disappear from games for large periods, and at club level will always be competing with De Bruyne and now Bernardo Silva, while at international level Bellingham was and may always be first choice. Pep is currently trying to figure out how to fit him into the team this season with their slightly tweaked system. Foden remains a tactical conundrum, until he improves in those areas and can play centrally either as something like a 10, or a midfielder in the Xavi cum Iniesta mold that Pep would love him to be asap.
Is Rico actually a FB?
Phil foden perform in sub optimal conditions challenge: level impossible
He'll find a way I'm sure
There's 2-3 games a week, everyone will have gametime. Having good players is never a problem
Saudi for Walker it seems
