Or spend many hundreds of millions. That often works.

Sage’s high press looks more like a half arsed press to me. Only needs one player not to join in and the gaps will be exploited leaving the midfield and the wide areas open.
It’s a tactic that should only be carried out by in form, accomplished teams that are thoroughly schooled in it. When it works it’s great but it leaves us mightily exposed when we inevitably have a couple of players strolling to get involved and we do it half cocked.

We have a problem. Everyone has been able to see the problem. Have we noticed it yet? That's what bothers me.

Premier League looks after their own. It will be 2 down as well as Citeh if they get a massive points deduction. If they are expelled though and the EFL won’t take them that won’t work and who knows what will happen!

Half arsed and half cocked? Lucky there's only one ball.

A half baked response😎
Mingueza played for Spain during covid when they had loads of withdrawals.
Eddie N has played for England (once).
Neither are anywhere near international standard

they'll have to apply to join a non-league organisation. Surely if the epl expel them then they don't have to concern themselves with whether the football league will take them, it's just not their problem anymore.

He's actually known for getting forward and providing excellent crosses and assists. I think it was his assists that got him in the europa team.
Believe he got a good assist in the Boro cup game for JSL.
However his performance on Thursday in Lyon means i don't feel confident in either Khalaili or Mingueza.

That was only one of his four caps - the whole U21 squad got nominated to play a senior game against Lithuania due to positive Covid tests amongst the senior players.
More recently, he played a couple of games for Spain last year, including starting in the Nations League final.
Khalaili looks miles off it to me - given his experience at a higher level, I think Mingueza is worth giving a few games to see how he gets on.

Id be surprised if the EFL refused the income City generate.

Kporha, Cardines and the sadly gone Imray all look to be better players
if you argument is that he should be playing for us at RB/RWB as he's a Spanish international i'd politely disagree.
Based on what i've seen he looks quite limited and a Middlesboro reserve did him a couple of times in the league cup match.
A squad player at best IMHO
Jordan defending parish this is a AI but he said give it 12 games . Keown as usual not a clue . No ideas what Sage should try and set up , lets go for the easy root and say nothing . I've forgotten the presenters name, but he is just going for headline statements to start a debate and not let people finish there view . Yes I know its edited but this is one of the biggest reasons I stopped listening to that station . It was good when Jordan mentioned we beat them 5-0 . Brighton cant crow about beating us for the 3rd time in 15

Agreed and this is key for me.
When you play a high press you need centre backs who are both good in the air and also have the recovery pace. We had Guehi and Lacroix who both scored well on these attributes. The replacements do not. Additionally, Canvot is weak in the air and arguably our quickest defender (Riad) is out long term.
Put all this together and we do not have the team to be able to play a high press in my opinion.
