Thats the way hes been told to ffs. 

Hes there for ball retention, cut inside and lay off midfielders.

Hes doing what Pep tells him to and it worked a treat last season with silva and kdb on the inside. 

It took Pep a year to mould him in to that position from the free role he played at Villa.

Peps tweeking it this season with Doku and a more direct way. He tweeks it every season.

Really baffles me how people who are meant to know the game cant see this.

 

He's not at it though this season, which is a shame. Seems to have gone backwards for whatever reason.

Some of city's players manage a few years at the very top of their game, and so far, Grealish hasn't.

Maybe he is one of those players who needs to play more frequently, which is a catch 22 situation for him.

There really is something going on in Rashford's head. I was never really convinced about him then, last season, he really got it together & I had to eat my words. This season however he's gone backwards and some.

Definitely doesn't want to be there. Whether it's the club, his colleagues, fitness or something home based he's robbing his considerable living right now.

Aye. Not hungry enough.

Reading have been poor.

Smith looks ok, but a poor showing overall.

Eastleigh had decided to settle for a draw, and were just sitting back. Give enough initiative to the opposition and get punished.

As soon as the equaliser goes in, they're on the front foot again!

Hes been injured for a large part of it then ill for 2 games last week. If that's not at it then fair enough.

I do fear for his place with Doku and Peps more direct style mind. Id love to see him on the right getting past his full back.

Won't help for sure, but he seems a bit predictable. Just won't go on the outside, which is why we've both said try him on the right. 

Still, that's for Pep to sort.

As for the Euros, I hope he is back and flowing as he can be destructive to any defence. 

Would be concerned though if both him and Rashford aren't at it by then, as they can be so effective on their day.

I just don't think City play enough songs before games...

[Marc505]

This is going to be one of them games!

[gonzo]

Be 6-2 this.

Could hear on the radio, and the commentators picked up on it.

Maybe it's the weather, or pre Christmas lull.

It's making me depressed listening to it.  The fuckers sound like they've been forced to go against their will.

What colour is that Spurs are playing in? Some grey, wishy washy mauve?

Mine says a Lavender base.

I say watery diarrhea. It's certainly shite, whatever the colour.

[Zico]

Son aside I just don't see any real quality in that spurs squad 

Their transfer policy is pretty wank

Definitely not top 4 material

[L/H White]

have city dropped off or have the other teams closed the gap?

still tight between top 5, and we're fast approaching Christmas 

[Tonge moor green jacket]

Right on cue! 😀
