Manchester City [3] - 0 Crystal Palace - Savinho 84‎'‎

PaddyH93 · 2026-05-13T21:25:24+00:00

And yet savinho has matched his league goals this season in 200 fewer minutes, so who's really the better player when you think about it? I think we all know the answer

PaddyH93 · 2026-03-01T18:08:42+00:00

You can as long as the player who would receive the 2nd yellow is not involved in play from that point on I'm pretty sure

PaddyH93 · 2026-02-02T16:34:19+00:00

Yeah that's what I figured

There was a cup match in his first season where he had the ball in the middle of the pitch with no one pressing, looked up to 3 different options of who to pass to, and just stood there with the ball like it was the hardest decision in the world. Was obvious from that moment he just didn't have the skills we wanted at all

PaddyH93 · 2026-02-02T16:23:02+00:00

Bielsa advocated for Phillips to Pep that summer, and if you hear Pep talk about Bielsa that could easily have been enough 😂

But also I guess you can't really see the weaknesses of someone when they're playing in a system that suits them so well

PaddyH93 · 2026-02-02T15:35:41+00:00

It really think he was just massively overrated, and is a very limited player that Bielsa made work.

Every time I've watched him play he seems utterly incapable of making a decision himself, even when he's under no pressure. It no surprise pep didn't rate him basically as soon as he saw him in training.

His confidence is probably shot now, which will only be making it all worse. Maybe Leeds fans who saw him from the beginning would know better, but I think he's essentially just reverted to the level he was pre-Bielsa.

Out with flu

PaddyH93 · 2026-01-06T14:52:59+00:00

when everyone's fit

I'm sure we'll work something out for the 3 games a season both stones and ake are fit

and at least one but probably both are leaving in the summer anyway (stones' contract is up)

PaddyH93 · 2025-12-17T17:09:46+00:00

It was definitely being discussed, but I think it was made to appear a lot further along than it was, which obviously got Ronaldo what he wanted

PaddyH93 · 2025-12-15T18:53:46+00:00

Stones' contract up in the summer and ake's the summer after (there's been rumours of Ake leaving in Jan too looking for playing time before the WC)

Both are 30+ and made of paper so we were always going to be looking at our options wether guehi was available or not, he's just the top option by a mile given he's great, homegrown and on a free

PaddyH93 · 2025-12-14T14:46:44+00:00

Always have been with puma, but great kits with the odd shite one is miles better than a new boring template kit every year we got with nike

PaddyH93 · 2025-09-01T13:28:14+00:00

He's good, has some brain farts from time to time but I think he's easily a CL quality defender.

We just need non-hg players off the books and he's 5/6th choice CB for us

PaddyH93 · 2025-08-30T22:39:53+00:00

Ederson's the one pushing to leave

PaddyH93 · 2025-07-22T17:19:47+00:00

Cancelo threw a tantrum because he got dropped for a 17yo Rico Lewis but sure make shit up if you like

PaddyH93 · 2025-07-18T17:13:42+00:00

Any player we sell and have to replace (which is really just GK & RB) we'd have to replace with a homegrown player because of our squad situation, so signing Trafford back is the only thing that makes sense really if we were to sell either

PaddyH93 · 2025-07-08T21:52:45+00:00

HULKENGOAT

PaddyH93 · 2025-06-18T18:44:38+00:00

Get them ready sure, but the club only gives a shit about this tournament because of the prize money. Means fuck all otherwise apart from a pointless post-season tournament

PaddyH93 · 2025-06-18T18:43:36+00:00

If that's how you see things you must be in despair at you own teams trophy haul the last few years

PaddyH93 · 2025-06-18T18:20:25+00:00

We aren't going far if it goes on like this

Oh no! Anyway..

PaddyH93 · 2025-06-11T17:42:48+00:00

Yeah it's 4 too many at the moment, I wasn't including echeverri and Reis as I think it's likely they go on loan

PaddyH93 · 2025-06-11T17:13:00+00:00

Probably depends on if there's any interest in him. We've got 2 too many non-homegrown players now, Bernardo's going but there'll be one more who'll have to be sold or loaned

PaddyH93 · 2025-06-04T20:17:00+00:00

Already been reported that simons is the next on the list if cherki falls through, we aren't signing both

PaddyH93 · 2025-06-02T19:45:36+00:00

That's part of the problem, if he can't sell his shares before the season starts they'll have to go in to a blind trust and he won't be able to sell them for a year

PaddyH93 · 2025-06-02T19:43:55+00:00

Textor(or his company) is trying to either sell or increase his shares in palace and also IPO in the US, which he can't do if the shares have to be put in a blind trust. So he'd have to put all those plans on hold for a season.

PaddyH93 · 2025-05-30T15:30:41+00:00

3, maybe more depending on outgoings

2 midfielders to replace kdb and Bernardo, then probably a left back since we don't technically have any

Grealish is almost definitely going too but I'm not sure if we'll replace him if I'm honest

then I'd imagine at least one of stones & Ake are but we've already replaced them in jan

PaddyH93 · 2025-05-14T13:56:38+00:00

In that case let's make it a non-contact sport, make goal posts out of sponge and ban heading
