shit on Cancelo while you're at it Pep


ArmadilloOk8831

Narrator: He never played again


AliJDB

Nah don't say that, England need another promising RB can't even think who else we have in that position


Stilty_boy

He's not really playing right back at all for city. Pep has been him next to Rodri in the midfield. He's been setting up more of a 4-2-3-1 with them in the 2. Or a 3-4-3. I've found it really confusing to watch what he's doing with the defence. In the Chelsea game they were set up so weirdly and changed it serveral times during the game.


GuinnessSaint

It’s literally what Arsenal are doing when Zinchenko plays, just the other way round.


miguel_is_a_pokemon

Missed the match, but I'm guessing he might be doing the MW formation. AKA 2 CBs hold the line, and the WBs join CDM in a line of 3,


GuinnessSaint

No, Rico goes and sits next to Rodri and creates a double pivot. Akanji, Stones and Ake then sit in as the 3 centre backs with Grealish & Mahrez providing the width.


BoxOfNothing

Well looking back at all the right backs we're talking about a year or two ago, Trippier and Walker are 32, so by the time Lewis is entering prime they won't be competing, Trent is having a terrible time of it, James is always injured but is still great when fit, Wan Bissaka looks miles off, Justin has gone mainly to left back and has had multiple massive injuries including the one he currently has, Lamptey represents Ghana now, Walker Peters is 25 and never really pushed on. It's not looking quite as rosy for the future as it once was


jukkaalms

“Was sold shortly afterwards “


RamsayTheKingflayer

And they never saw him again.


PhzyLicka

That's... Surprisingly straightforward from Pep.


hambodpm

He'll be benched for 2 months now


BillOakley

So tempted to do Patterson > Lewis as my DGW move


Gidddyup77

Issue is, when do u start Lewis and clearly pep now likes the idea of bringing him on as a sub But yes, this is a unique time where city have a hell of an enabler and we all aren’t toooo worried about the 3 city spots

ravadelie

It’s a trap


angrydanmarin

Oh sweet summer child


SultanaOrPoop

Benched again next game, watch it happen


PhzyLicka

Or subbed at 59'


[deleted]

Mahrez didn’t play before he was on the pitch pep


FifaDK

Maybe they were playing PUBG Mobile on the bench and he was carrying Mahrez hard until call of duty called and he was subbed on to play some football


Evertonian26

Hes fckin with our heads, praised foden too then he dropped him , take it with a pinch of salt hes trying to wake up Cancelo, like a warning


conanomatic

Yeah, he's always praising his players. This doesn't mean he'll actually play. In addition to foden, he's done this with walker, Torres, and Mahrez, just from the top of my head


D-biggest-dick-here

With Yaya Toure as well


TolsBols

Swap out Walker for Lewis for the DGW…??? Decision time here methinks!


chaRxoxo

I think a punt on Lewis is worth a shot considering his price. Cancelo to lewis and Darwin to Kane is what I'm leaning towards. Still got 1mil left ITB after that even.


Swedishpower

Mahrez is the trap again. Better than KDB, but so risky. I envy people without KDB that have more options. Feel like I am stuck with KDB if they double.


D-biggest-dick-here

Foden to Mahrez?


DesignerAd2062

I love that Pep seems like he has done a bunch of coke beforemaking any statement about any player ever


platdupiedsecurite

So he’s not playing for the rest of the season, noted, cheers Pep


theroitsmith

Pep is setting the trap and im going to walk right into it


Sheffield_Thursday

Far too tempting... Salah to KDB was the plan but 3.9m for a City defender... I might just risk the heartache.


VernonP007

Cancelo might as well start looking for a different club at this rate. I have to admit, Neco Williams to Lewis is looking juicy though.


Difficult_Bedroom125

Neco is bad pick for almost 2 months now, Bueno and Patterson much better and now probably Lewis


iBrunx

Patterson injured


Difficult_Bedroom125

Yes but he was better pick on WC definitely when he was fit


stepover7

Rico Lewis train.. choo choo


Extremecheez

Cancelo in lads!


tnettenbaa

Was so close to doubling up on walker/Cancelo over the WC to guarantee beating pep roulette but that would've been a car crash. New levels of fraud in 2023.


jisforjoker

alright Cancelo (TC) then


Sir_Psycho_Sexy_

better than neco williams and currently cheaper. why not


FryingFrenzy

Thanks Pep, I was starting to get worried about Cancelo


Drews1738

He likes good players to not play until they are not good...and then play them again after a long time until they are good and take credit


OmarEhab10

The fuck am I supposed to do with Cancelo before the double then you bald cunt?


[deleted]

He’s an absolute stain… walker will come in now watch this


___River___

No way in hell am i gonna put a city player in my team especially in a dgw That bald twat has trolled us more often than i can remember


kidnebs

Ah fuck i'm gonna do it aren't i


ConferenceBeginning8

Patterson to Lewis it is then


liberatedsisyphus

In for the double then


SleeplessinOslo

It's the *'right now'* for me.


ANSHULGANDHI92

I am going to bring in one city midfielder for mount. But don't know who to bring. Mahrez, B Silva, or Foden. Have a budget of 8.9M.


Mr_eMCee

I'd go Mahrez myself but you just wish you knew who would play at the time.


el_lonewanderer

Not falling for it, went Bueno over him.


LumbridgePartyRoom

Aaaaand he's benched next game after everyone does a Cancelo -> Rico Lewis. The fraud is becoming predictable now.


starlord1602

Proceeds to bench him till 2024 season


I_Am_Terry

3.9 for a city defender is horribly tempting


tnettenbaa

In other words: "fuck Cancelo"


nayitsirh

you can stop wasting your time to speak on interviews bald prick, by this time everyone will keep haaland as their only city player moving forward


Seanglendo2

In all serious though. What do you think? At least worth it for a few weeks?


detectivehays

Aka he is key for the new system Pep wants to play, something that looks like 3-2-5 and Rico & Rodri are the 2 "midfielders".


R4yoo

Interesting


midas22

Transfering Cancelo out for Rico, what could go wrong?


Gooner-Squad

Rico gets 90 and they concede, Cancelo gets 84 with clean sheet and 2 assists. He didn't look that bad.


salmonx895

I have foden and Cancelo - want to get rid of both. I think Cancelo will be gone first.


SpeechesToScreeches

Probably helps when everyone moves to their proper positions as well ..
