As opposed to giving that chance to an England international striker,
As opposed to giving that chance to an England international striker,Yeah, give that kind of chance to a championship level striker and you are going to get punished. Still, it is preseason and in terms of an all round game it was good
He hasnt been an england international striker for 3 yearsAs opposed to giving that chance to an England international striker,
Well that’s what happens when you insist on AAATB and aren’t peak Man City.Thomas still scares the shit out of me with his passing sometimes. That pass to Calvert-lewin last night
So with BTA almost certainly incoming, attack seems to be secured.
A CM would be nice to support Torp and Sheafy.
But apart from upgrading Binksy from loan to perm and bringing in Dovin, are people happy with our defence ?
Having a greater Goals Against last season than the previous Playoff year, is still unnerving to me.
Happy and last year was a gelling year ?
Needs to be looked at ?
Rebuild the back 5 ?
Goal against aren't always down to the back 4 and goalkeeper. The midfield have a lot of responsibility.
Exactly!! Thomas has some really abysmal defensive lapses and Kitching scored some bizarre own goals last season and set a record for red cards. The goals we conceded versus Darmstadt looked preventable as well. We need a solid defender pronto. Defence wins championships as they say here in the US. You can't lose if you don't concede.Thomas still scares the shit out of me with his passing sometimes. That pass to Calvert-lewin last night
That was the joke, yes.As opposed to giving that chance to an England international striker,
I’m a bit slow today, and most days really.That was the joke, yes.
The more I think about it the more Camera made sense. Someone who can cover both MvE and Tats. Not sure if that one is dead.I don’t think we’ll get a CB and a RB, it’ll be one or the other. Assuming BTA signs, I agree that’s attack sorted and a CM is need to boost the ranks.
It's already been said here that defending starts at the front. If the strikers don't press, it means more work for those behind them.
But within the theme of this thread, there has been transfer activity at the front and to a degree in midfield. Personally, I think we need one or maybe two CMs to help out there.
And apart from the two named players, we haven't looked at our defence.
So that's what the question was about.

Their moving, it's just political when that happens IMO!!I think we could do with another RB to cover MvE. Ideally would like a left sided version of MvE as well but Bidwell is a solid option and Dasilva is unlikely to be going anywhere, CB is ok, but wouldn't mind another in with a bit of experience. Can't see much of that happening without Hamer or Vik sell-on clauses though.

As apposed to an Premiership league striker?Yeah, give that kind of chance to a championship level striker and you are going to get punished. Still, it is preseason and in terms of an all round game it was good
Is that a line from the EMC song?I think the idea this season might be to fight fire with fire
The irony with your CM comment. Take one of them out, and we'll do a lot better. A bit like last night, and for the best periods of form we've experienced in the last two years on several occasions also.
