How can you be at that level and think kicking the ball back into the box is a good idea? Well this has calmed down a lot, was sure there would be a red before long. Meanwhile Fellaini is lurking on the bench to slay you. e: Wtf is Emery doing, 2subs down and he wants to make a tactical sub in the 60th minute!? | ||

The consistency of City, or Guardiola teams in League fixtures in general, is just frightening. | ||

Liverpool has conceded 6 goals in 15 games, the least in the league. It's not like they were conceding thaat many the previous two seasons either, a bit more than 1 goal per average, but it always felt like they were succeeding because of their great attack, not their defensive abilities. This season it looks differently. Then Manchester United - a Mourinho team- looks completely lost defensively. Their 25 concede goals so far is the most out of any team in the top 15, and only 3 goals less than they concede the entire season last year. | ||

That unbeaten run masked all our shortcomings. We need better fullbacks, rw and a striker. If Morata can't even thrive in sarri's system, then I don't think he is going to work for us Did they play Kante back in his old role when Jorginho is on the bench? Also, interesting to see how possession hogging works vs City. As much as City should be better at it, we've seen Guardiola teams crumble when they don't get to have it their way. | ||

Sarri isn't destroying Kante far from it. When Kante arrived at Chelsea he wasn't that guy who could pass a ball or play under pressure. He was literally just a break up the play and hand it off to the nearest player, which is fine but you need more than that these days. Football evolves all the time and especially for Sarri the guy who is sat in front of the defense needs to play one touch fast moving balls to make those triangles to play their way out fast. Jorginho is this guy, he is Sarri general on the pitch right now, there is a reason we bought him in. Now like I said Kante evolved a bit under Conte with the ability to pass, he was a lot better, now with Sarri he is evolving again, his position now is to defend way higher up and play. He optimized this when he was pushed on by Jorginho(!) in the game vs Fulham where he broke up the play, got the ball drove 15 yards, played it off perfectly for Pedro who slotted him for a goal. That is now his new role, and he himself has said he likes this and feels like he is learning all the time. I also agree that this is now taking Kante from being a guy who just broke up the play and passed square or sometimes just broke up the play period and that is it, into a guy that can play, who has one of the best engine's in the sport and can do this all off of one or two touches! | ||

 I hope Precourt never gets the Austin expansion because the club will face a mountain of hate throughout the league.A partnership of private and public interests announced Thursday that it intends to break ground on a new $230 million Downtown soccer stadium for the Crew SC on a site west of Huntington Park and the Arena District that once was proposed for a casino. The stadium would be the centerpiece of a new “Confluence Village” neighborhood of residential and office buildings where the Olentangy and Scioto rivers meet. The stadium plan is the linchpin of a proposal being made to Major League Soccer by Dee and Jimmy Haslam, owners of the Cleveland Browns, and Dr. Peter H. Edwards Jr. and his family, of Columbus, to buy the Crew and keep the team in Columbus. The plans were revealed Thursday during a noon briefing at the Land Grant Brewery in Franklinton for leaders and members of the fan-led #SaveTheCrew movement. The new Crew owners would invest a total of $645 million to buy the team for an estimated $150 million, build the new stadium and remodel the team’s current home at Mapfre Stadium, on the north end of the Ohio State Fairgrounds, as a practice facility amid a planned Community Sports Park around the stadium, officials said. The city of Columbus and Franklin County are pledging $50 million each over 30 years to be managed by a community authority to support site development and infrastructure. City officials said that city money would not go toward construction of the stadium itself. The multilevel 20,000-seat stadium would include 30 suites and loge boxes and 1,900 “club seats,” with an artist’s rendering envisioning all of the seats covered by a roof but the playing field open to the elements. The stadium would be surrounded by seven low-rise riverfront residential, office and parking structures on a total of 33 acres. Columbus Mayor Andrew J. Ginther said the stadium would be “a premier facility for Columbus,” one that would draw worldwide attention for its design and fan experience. Commercial and office space would total 270,000 square feet, enough to accommodate 1,300 employees. There would be 885 residential units, with a minimum of 20 percent of them, or 177, dedicated “affordable housing.” It was unclear Thursday who would own the buildings around the stadium. Five of the acres would be devoted to a new riverfront park along the Olentangy River, just north of Confluence Park and Route 33. Source | ||

And am I right in guessing that the primary cause for the sale/non relocation is the fact that the lawsuit wasn't going to go away? | ||
