Was there a point in time where Rodri was considered the best midfielder in the world? 👀
English

@ThisIsAgam Not to keep shitting on the guy but whys he ass for City then
English
Most people don’t understand Phil Foden. Phil Foden is a tempo dependent profile. He needs constant touches, quick 1-2s and early access to activate his game.
So he keeps dropping into the first phase showing between lines asking for the ball off the 6/8s and even the CBs. The issue is not availability. It’s access.
England simply do not have the level of passer required. Anderson, Rice, Mainoo and Henderson are nowhere near the level of consistently breaking lines with the right weight, timing and conviction.
At City he is fed by Rodri and Bernardo. Players who trust the angle, play through pressure and sustain a IP 3-2-5 with control. With England, that connection is not there.
So instead of receiving on the half turn in the right half space, he’s recycling or arriving late. The attack loses central progression and defaults to low value wide crosses.
Put Foden in a possession structure with elite interior passers and you get a completely different player. This is not about form. It’s about ecosystem.

You've not forgot though, and neither has anyone else that has made this exact same post

This is why most fans don't want Arsenal to win a trophy. Because this was 10 days ago, and 𝗘𝗩𝗘𝗥𝗬𝗢𝗡𝗘 has already forgotten about it. Arsenal fans would not let us forget.

Should be Englands starting 6 over Rice, Rice cant collect and play through the lines like Anderson. Play Rice as an 8 or just let him do his dogwork from wherever but have Anderson as the 6 who drops and collects
SIR AHMED@midopido21
Elliot Anderson vs Japan
English
If you're putting Nico G in ya might as well put Cherki, fuck it throw Gvardiol in as well
Radu Cristian@raducrisanx
Matheus Nunes Nico O’Reilly Nico Gonzalez Doku Haaland That’s your top 5 POTS for City.

100m is crazy work
City Xtra@City_Xtra
Those in agent circles speak of #ManCity having Elliot Anderson as priority No.1 and are ahead in the race. While not at a ‘done deal’ stage yet, the word is @ManCity are looking to accelerate their move prior to the World Cup, wary that his £100M price tag could rise even further. [via @MailSport]

RW to mitigate for who🤣 Bobb left because we signed Semenyo. We dont need to replace the 200 mins he played for us
Radu Cristian@raducrisanx
Midfielder - 8/6 Midfielder - 8/10 Right Back Forward - RW ( to mitigate for Bobb ) Back-up Keeper ( if required ) Reis returning. Sounds good for City?
English
Probably dont need the word sporting tbh
AI@nonewthing
There is no genuine sporting reason why Phil Foden should go to the World Cup.
English
Hes one of the most creative passers/players OAT but because he does skills and what not they wouldn't think to put him in the creator convo that kdb, ozil etc are in

Ce qu’on ne vous dira jamais c’est que Neymar était un meilleur passeur que Lionel Messi.

Just cant make this stuff up hahaha
Geronimo Morgans@GeronimoMorgans
Manchester City are about to sign another Kovacic in that lad, and they’ll regret it.

Easy to forget just how many obvious errors slipped through the cracks in a pre-VAR world. With how much coverage we have of football now, real possibility people would tired fast and wish for the alternative regardless of what’s in place. Easier to focus on what doesn’t work.
Matt Slater@mjshrimper
I admit it - I thought VAR would make a positive difference. I was wrong. I think we should scrap it. Not tweak it. Just scrap it. Looks like a lot of you agree. nytimes.com/athletic/71560…

Everyone's just complaining because they're annoyed their own clubs haven't done the same. The games are meaningless friendlies where as Arsenal have a Premier League to win and want the UCL too. They're absolutely doing the right thing

Eleven withdrawals doesn’t just “happen” by coincidence. When you’ve got players like Saliba, Gabriel, Declan Rice , Saka, Martin Odegaard , Zubi etc. all suddenly unavailable at the same time, it raises eyebrows especially when most of them are then magically fine for club football. Clubs always talk about “player welfare,” but let’s not pretend there isn’t an element of control here. Arsenal know exactly what they’re doing: - Keep key players fresh - Avoid unnecessary international risk - Maximise performance in the title run-in Meanwhile, other clubs send players off, risk injuries, and deal with the consequences. It’s not technically breaking the rules that’s the frustrating part. They’re operating right on the edge of what’s allowed, using medical reports and “precaution” as a shield. You can’t really pin anything on them officially, but it definitely leaves a bad taste when it’s this many players at once.

There are many pretenders to Rodri’s throne in possession but they don’t possess his passing precision once the opposition is pinned in their own final third. He can chip over the top or weight a pass along the ground thru the smallest gaps & the other 6s can’t compete with that.
English
@PaulGathua @saundzo You think hes choosing City for the money?🤣
English
@saundzo United making a bit mistake like we let City have Rodri
, Bernardo and KDB and they ended up dominating for days long time . Elliott Anderson salary issues can be solved by a sign on bonus to bridge the gap
English
So gutted city are gonna bag Anderson but fairs man, cause he’s already one of the best itw

Chompy@lukestanley03
Best goal you’ve ever seen live?
English
@Kez3343 Could be, point was more about people being afraid to admit be isnt the best left back in the world, which is hilarious 🤣
English
@DominicMurphy97 I think nico oreilly has looked better in midfield personally
English
Its okay to admit Nuno Mundes, who is the best full back in the world, is better than NOR at left back. Its okay to say that, you're not less of a fan for it🤣
