  1. Another cracker of an announcement: also anyone else think that Nathan Redmond was way older than 29? He’s been around forever
  2. Reminds me a bit of when Southampton sacked Nigel Adkins to much criticism (who got them promoted) for Pochettino who was an unknown to most English fans at that point, Poch obviously improved them massively and the rest is history
  3. Alex Scott’s younger brother
  4. That’s a shame but appreciate it is time consuming and you aren’t getting paid for it, so understandable. End of an era though, have really enjoyed living vicariously through you lot and your post match discussions / emotions as they have often helped me keep more level headed especially after defeats!
  5. I’m not sure you can legislate for Atkinson, Kalas and Naismith all being injured at the same time, unless you expect them to have a crystal ball
  6. We will be a good team next year when we have a full squad again. Luckily the injuries hit after we assured our safety!
  7. As soon as Pearson mentioned play offs we folded ?
  8. Reckon he might retire soon
  9. The beauty of the game on Tuesday is that even though we will probably lose our overall unbeaten run, we still have a 9 game unbeaten run in the league to protect, so it’s a bit of a free hit in some respects
  10. I thought the new kit looked lovely from the stands today. Well impressed
  11. Mehmeti is what we wanted Ryan Kent to be 5 years ago
  12. Bet Southgate regrets not starting him against France now!
  13. Interesting starting lineup, he’s swapped the front three for the three that ended the last game. Maybe he sees Wigan as a low-risk game to try something new, without disrupting the defence or midfield. Will be interesting to see how it plays out!
  14. There is going to be a lot of recency bias here so probably not the best time to ask but obviously Alex Scott ?
  15. I think playing Alex Scott against a struggle side will give him more of an opportunity to flourish, so I would keep him in. If we were to drop anyone for Mehmeti, it would be Bell, but I would prefer to keep with the starting 11 from Saturday and make the impact subs in the second half.
  16. You can see why the narrative has developed though. Coincidence or not our upturn in form has come at the same time as his time out of the team, and we have just bought two additional fast forwards. Hopefully he proves everyone wrong and plays as well as he did last season, as club captain.
  17. I remember there was a home game early on where Pearson played Alex Scott in RWB rather than Wilson, I think he justified it by saying he wanted all his best players on the pitch at the time, but I felt Pearson was reluctant to play him because of perceived defensive issues.
  18. Played for the U21s today. Really can’t wait to see what he can do in a City shirt. This season is probably too soon for him, and I know there have been some concerns defensively, so probably best to build him back slowly and get him ready for next season. Interesting to see how we play him too as we bought him with 352 in mind and now we play with a four. Was interesting to see how Pearson preferred an out of position Sykes to him earlier in the a season. Either way, happy to see his recovery is going well and look forward to seeing him soon.
  19. Hot take but I think Weimann peaked for us last year and I can see him being phased out in the next 6-12 months.
