Ornstein has spoken. It’s over for Carrick 😭
One almost forgets how ridiculously quality and entertaining this team was 🤯

Interesting perspective, and clearly these are routes City could potentially explore.
I think it’s important, though, to distinguish between opinion on what City MIGHT do and statements of fact about what they actually intend to do.
Phrases like ‘it doesn’t matter whether they win or lose, they WILL create a mess and noise’ and ‘scorched earth policy‘ can quickly shape a wider narrative about motives.
It's a perfectly legitimate interpretation, but it's not confirmation of City's intentions.

Disagree with any narrative that Cherki is one of City’s biggest problems.
Our biggest issue imo is a lack of physicality and defensive security in midfield. We’re playing too many attack-minded, lightweight profiles without enough balance.
Cherki has his flaws, of course, but his ability to create goals and chances outweighs them. He’s second only to Haaland for goal contributions and should be starting.
The solution? Bouaddi at 6, Anderson at 8, Cherki floating behind Haaland. Restore some structure, physicality and balance across the pitch. And let our full backs actually play as a full backs, rather than occupying the forward line.
We don’t need less creativity. We need a better platform for it.
