StanSP Posted 13 February 2023 Share Posted 13 February 2023 The VAR official from Brighton/Palace game has been dropped for tonight's Merseyside derby and the Arsenal/Man City game. Glad there's some accountability taken by PGMOL and referees dropped from games after howlers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BKLFox Posted 13 February 2023 Share Posted 13 February 2023 Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola claimed his squad depth is the lowest in the Premier League Guardiola's current squad is valued at 1.05 billion euros ($1.12 billion) by website transfermarkt and on Sunday he started with the likes of England internationals Kalvin Phillips and Phil Foden and Argentina striker Julian Alvarez on the bench. Yet the Spaniard claimed he is working with a squad of less than 20 players as they chase league leaders Arsenal and attempt to win the Champions League for the first time. "We have just 18, 19 players. Our depth is so, so small, maybe the smallest one in the Premier League by far," Guardiola told Sky Sports. "It's important that we don't have injuries but we have an incredible methodology for training to manage the fatigue and avoid injuries. Poor me....

It's ludicrous They get a pay off, clubs are at fault really. Managers know what they are getting into. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doubt it will be distributed evenly, though. Probably will be put into the overseas-media pot along with TV rights, which is the distribution most skewed toward the top finishers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I Always prefer to start at the bottom and work up, it’s not an issue when you’re playing against other players of the same level. my dream would be a fifa that had the details and accuracy of fm but slightly less complex. If you don’t want a realistic hard work to achieve type game, just play ultimate team. I hate that they pander to this and make ultimate team so darn easy to get good players. In the older days i loved that you really had to work to build a strong team. it is what it is, but i’d love a decently created career mode. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easy to build a team of class players but lose to a team of people playing the “META” and using the likes of Adama Traoré despite the facts he’s utterly doggo.

AjcW Posted 13 February 2023 Share Posted 13 February 2023 What's everyones opinion on Seb Hutchinson (new Sky comms for this season) so far? Nice not to have to listen to demntia tyler as much (poor sod) Just did a little segment with Cara and Osmon and seemed quite relaxed and fun but that doesn't come across as much in his comms so far. Always tricky being the lead commentator though, like I say he's a massive improvement on Tyler who should have been retired years ago, but not quite the finished article yet!
