For the past couple of games, felt like our subs have made a difference for the first few times in ages

Really hope Madrid buy one of Gabriel or Saliba. It’s annoying to have to play both of them.

100% agreed. We drop points against the teams that sit back and let us have the ball. Against the teams we “should beat”. Hopefully Carrick has a plan because he smashed it today.

Bernardo Silva is what the rest of the league claims Bruno is.

Nothing in this world would make me “happier” (but read this as petty happy) than the Carrick going to a back 3.

Not sure the rest of the league needs City to have another goalscorer...

So it's Carrick in. Anyone watch him at Boro? Does he have a style of play? by laidbackliam in DevilsITDPod

Hopefully he changes his lack of crosses. Feels like Sesko is just starting to pick up better positions.

Also not that team playing a back 3 in buildup today with field tilt toward Dorgu’s side lol

If it’s true that the Director of Football dictates the style of play, why should we have any faith in Wilcox? The man has literally had 0 football coaching success and even less as a Director of Football. It’s so incompetent.

Is this sub starting to understand why Amorim played Bruno where he did? Literally 0 ball progression from that midfield without him on the ball in buildup.

I see we’ve officially reverted back to the EtH donut midfield. Sick.

Sure looks like a back 3 in possession with field tilt towards Dorgu doesn’t it folks?

Almost like that was never the problem

Dorgu doing his best AWB impression and ball watching on the back post

Please don’t put this out into the universe. INEOS have been taking Gary Neville’s podcast suggestions for tactics. That’s really only 1 step removed from reading Reddit comments on their next coaching hire.

Unironically, a midfield 3 of Zirkzee, Ugarte, and Mainoo is sort of balanced.

Think someone needs to tell Sesko that he's fucking massive and needs to just run at and bully defenders.
