Great vid nobbins, but do you feel pep shld give younger players more game time?
Rotating Doku and Marmoush makes sense unless Foden is dropped and Marmoush plays behind Haaland.
I think Trafford could be our number one goalkeeper
Do you feel confident going into this season with all the teams around us making these big signings? I know we also made great signings but I don’t see Pep moving away from his old guard and actually using his new signings as much as they should be used
who says dias is a liability doesn't know shit about football and city he just watched this season or a hilal game . dias for years was behind rodri solidity and walker pace that is why this season he was exposed with no rodri and no real rb for who say that we don't need livramento or a real right back.
PSG just signed Chevalier
And we've been linked with donnarumma, do you think it's a good idea we sign donnarumma now
Next season is the season where everybody has to prove themselves, especially the senior guys who fell off last season
Akanji should be nowhere near the CB position in serious games at least not next to dias that's a recipe for disaster
If pep gets the defensive set up right then we've got a higher chance of competing
Bro look at the saves made by Trafford. He's surprisingly agile for a 6'6" keeper. Also he makes some great saves that actually can translate to Premier League.
Altogether, he's better than we give credit to him. Also he has good distribution too. Not Ederson good but still good enough.
I really don't know why Guardiola relys so much on the uncle's in our club e.g Bernardo, gundogan etc we need to play more of younger players because they're aging in quality
Hey Nobbins, great video as usual. I have a question, what kind of midfielder would you say Nypan is?
Dias needs a RB who is defensively solid and preferably has pace, Dia's two main weaknesses are recovery pace & back-post aerial dominance.
Tino Livramento is considered pacey with 36km top speed similar to Savio, he is amazing in 1v1 ground duels and despite not being amazing aerially he is 6'0'' tall only 21yr so could develop in that respect.
Very sad you didn’t answer my question
Is there a world where Pep deploys a 3- back with Nunes & Ait-Nouri acting as wing-backs, allowing Marmoush to move in more centrally in possession alongside Haaland and a midfield of Rodri, Tijani, Cherki
Love the show Nobby…………if the Uncs stay as they will do, we are deluding ourselves that Pep will not use them at every given opportunity. His trust in the uncs doing what he needs on the pitch instead of using our much more energetic signings will have us 20 points behind Liverpool and Arsenal by Christmas. Do you think we should get rid of Pep if this happens as I don't think he will ever change his ways and always over thinks things.
2 videos 2 questions not answered sad:(
I said the same thing on X the other day😂
How can people just believe we will be poor even before a ball is kicked
Dias has become a real big time Charlie. He's now more interested in dating celebrity's, posing for modelling shoots and driving Lambo's than he is defending
City have been spot on in rectifying the flaws of last season. Significant signings in Reijnders, Cherki, Ait-Nouri, Nypan and Trafford; say a couple of statements!
More so, the journey started in January 2025 by bringing in: Marmoush, Gonzalez, Reis, Khusanov and Echeverri!
City are rebuilding in silence but too significant.
Unless, you want more than that, otherwise, it's all set!!!
maybe sign reece james from chelsea, he's a lot older than the criteria of player chelsea want
Dias has been very poor, but he’s not getting called out the way Akanji is
Are you fine with City not signing a RB this summer if it means they are ready to go big on Livramento next summer? I think Newcastle could easily miss out on UCL football if Isak leaves, and that would probably mean Livramento is available.
