Nothing will happen to City for years due to their ongoing court battle with the PL. Everton can’t hire the same people City can get. Plus I’d imagine 1 charge is easier to deal with than 115…
That said - the fact that City have 115 charges by itself should be an outright punishment without even getting into the minutia of it
Just had a thought… What’s the likelihood of fans having protests before games against the PGMOL? It’s not really been done before has it? We just complain online or get annoyed and then forget about it.
The managers and clubs have voiced opinions but get charged by the spineless FA… Maybe it’s time fans take it in their own hands like we did against the Super League etc.?
Dunno if it will make a huge difference or not (the FA will probably fine the clubs again for fan behaviour) but this whole cozy cartel of refs and the FA really need to change for the better. I’m sure most fans of other clubs would be in agreement no?
This is just stupid - absolutely stupid.
The FA and PGMOL have no shame.
Instead of being concerned about us - look at yourselves and ask why are we at this point now. The standard of refs in this league is piss poor
Just hoping he doesn’t get injured as well as big Gabi!🤞
Focus has all been over Jesus but injuries can happen to anyone!
Would it not be easier to just have the 2 highest centre back votes fill the 2 spots? I imagine the likes of Saliba and Kosc will win both polls anyways
Doku was a very smart signing by City - kind of wish we picked him up and sold Nelson tbh - what’s the point of re-signing Nelson if we don’t use him?
They made a ruthless decision with Cole Palmer (tbf the money on offer was good) and replaced him quickly with Doku
That was the way but other people deemed it as being a bit awkward for OP to add up scores from several comments
La Cabra - aka Monreal.
Super consistent. Big goals. Great player. Never understood why we sold him for as little as wel did
Honestly dunno how Chelsea can sell the idea of getting into their midfield with Caicedo, Enzo and Lavia with like 4 other options on top of that
Well everyone’s best eleven would vary but no probably not…
There’s always been injuries preventing it… Closest we got was probably against Chelsea away and we played bad for 70 odd minutes
Prime Hector was excellent but if you take his full time into account - it amounted to a fraction of his time with us… And the rest of that time was injury filled and just not as his best anymore
I have no doubt that White will be better in the coming years but he’s only been our right back for like under a season and a half as his first season was as centre back.
Sagna was a very consistent right back for us. He was very good
Trying to remember how much Sagna played in the 2010’s… Would have had 3-4 seasons of him I guess… So yeah would probably go with Sagna
“is he even offside”
Err yes? It’s clearly visible
Would go for Ramsdale tbh - Excellent 2 seasons with us. Leno a close 2nd.
Still curious how the Raya v Ramsdale situation will play out. Ramsdale will be playing our next match after all
Is the season average scores our season averages or sofa scores?
Honestly for all the talk about how Saka needs a rest etc. - can we praise his availability? It’s excellent
It’s moreso about him coaching the team through games as a leader. It’s not about how he helped mastermind a win against Burnley. It’s talking about his influence at the club
Watch Arsenal Vision’s Osimhen scouting video before our match last night…
I went in expecting to be amazed by him and he didn’t really impress me that much. They compared Jesus’ stats with him and Jesus really stands out in terms of all around play. Osimhen was just top bracket shots and aerially but Jesus wasn’t a million miles of him in those areas. Jesus was miles ahead in all other aspects.
Watching him was very similar to watching Darwin Nunez’s scouting video at Benfica. Lots of shots but some bad touches and head down when he could pass to a player in a better position…
Surprised as I thought he would be a great opportunity… Dunno what he’d be like for us if we bought him. Could be very similar to Nunez at Liverpool
