Deirdre @deirdrebadger.bsky.social · 20/09/2026Lot of noise about Wirtz. He has to understand he is the heartbeat of this team. It’s tough it’s a huge amount of pressure but he has the talent and he needs the encouragement. He’s not smicer. Same goes for kerkez 100
Deirdre @deirdrebadger.bsky.social · 12/09/2026I think this is the biggest worry about last year. They’ve both now become a problem and without an alternative they will have to play a certain amount of games Biggest concern for me was that he didn’t get nyoni on the pitch 100
Deirdre @deirdrebadger.bsky.social · 12/09/2026It’s a weird thing that there is a lot of major analysis of this squad including Wirtz and Gakpo and how they are influencing this team and you watch jacquet for a couple of games and nobody says fa. Boy is phenomenal with and without the ball 001
Deirdre @deirdrebadger.bsky.social · 12/09/2026We have the best manager for us. He knows he can’t play macca every week so gives Grav and szob a go and it turns to shot lesson learned. Hes been good at that 010
Deirdre @deirdrebadger.bsky.social · 06/08/2026I’ve just never ever thought he was good enough. In fact until a couple of weeks ago I never thought about him at all. Just don’t see what the fuss is about. He’s a player who’s available who tick boxes for us so let’s bring him in. 120
Deirdre @deirdrebadger.bsky.social · 06/08/2026I think we can agree that we need a replacement and I agree that Bradley isn’t the answer and I’d suggest that Spence isn’t either. Even city have a midfielder playing there. So maybe let’s look at a mf who can fill that role who isn’t szob. 100
Deirdre @deirdrebadger.bsky.social · 06/08/2026I just think we’ve been successful with a RB who wasn’t great defensively so let’s try and replicate that instead of trying to spend loads of cash on someone who’s not ideal 100
Deirdre @deirdrebadger.bsky.social · 06/08/2026Unless Hakimi is available don’t see much quality around 200
Deirdre @deirdrebadger.bsky.social · 06/08/2026That’s why I think he will stick with Frimpong. Our 1st half last week showed he can do it but he has a lot of Trent’s issues no concentration 200
Deirdre @deirdrebadger.bsky.social · 06/08/2026Forgotten about that. Yes big problem for us. As I say don’t think we have a lot of options to choose from 000
Deirdre @deirdrebadger.bsky.social · 06/08/2026Well that’s the issue isn’t it. We’ve been spoilt for 8 years and now we are struggling. Iraola wants pace so can see him trying to work with Frimpong. I think if there was a standout we’d have made our move. 100
Deirdre @deirdrebadger.bsky.social · 06/08/2026Well Tuchel was supposed to take England to the promised land of beating teams that were ranked higher. Our need for defenders shouldn’t blur our eye for a good player. He isn’t one. Plenty around. Ascensio would be my pick 110
Deirdre @deirdrebadger.bsky.social · 06/08/2026He’s terrible. Everyone was astounded he made the World Cup squad. Has a couple of decent games for England then bang let’s sign him. Remember Salif Diao 230
Deirdre @deirdrebadger.bsky.social · 03/08/2026Think he wanted the tour games to assess the squad. 000
Deirdre @deirdrebadger.bsky.social · 03/08/2026Yes but in a way it was good for Iraola to watch that 2nd half unfold. It will reinforce his thoughts on those he needs to ditch. Too many players making noises that they want to stay when clearly they aren’t good enough. Time for us to be ruthless and I think he will be 010
Deirdre @deirdrebadger.bsky.social · 03/08/2026Anyone suggesting Yernited are a some kind of model for us is staggering. They absolutely fluked their league position in the worst league for 20 years. Conceding a goal and a half a game. Analyze our 1st half yesterday. Aswell as I’ve seen us play in 2 years. Squad needs depth but we know that 100
Deirdre @deirdrebadger.bsky.social · 07/07/2026Sometimes you just have to enjoy the game. Wonderful game of football that had everything #ARGEGY 000
Deirdre @deirdrebadger.bsky.social · 05/07/2026This is a bang average Brazil team. Midfield is ponderous and Full backs as bad as they’ve ever had. England will have nothing to fear if they win tonight 000
Deirdre @deirdrebadger.bsky.social · 27/06/2026It is true. The squad is very bland. 2 players for every position but no game changers 000
Deirdre @deirdrebadger.bsky.social · 27/06/2026And Tuchel is sleeping with his ex who hates him so no chance 100
Deirdre @deirdrebadger.bsky.social · 16/06/2026It’s the eye test just don’t see Rodri at the level he has been since he came back from injury, I think it’s terminal. City would ship him out if pep was in charge 000
Deirdre @deirdrebadger.bsky.social · 16/06/2026Rodri was awful yesterday. Think he’s peak Fabinho. Hard to see but I thought he looked a yard off the pace 100
Deirdre @deirdrebadger.bsky.social · 16/06/2026Yes true and they might fudge their way through. Think France are the team to beat, despite everything 100
Deirdre @deirdrebadger.bsky.social · 16/06/2026Yes but they had Pino and didn’t play him. They have to adapt as they are both sicknotes 100
Deirdre @deirdrebadger.bsky.social · 29/05/2026He’s shite but losing a 26 year old full French international on a free isn’t acceptable. It smacks of complacency 000
Deirdre @deirdrebadger.bsky.social · 15/05/2026Hughes has never been at an elite club. Difference being he needs to realise mistakes in the shorter term as there is less margin for error 030
Deirdre @deirdrebadger.bsky.social · 15/05/2026It’s funny that Richard Hughes was a bang average footballer as he’s a bang average DOF 100
Deirdre @deirdrebadger.bsky.social · 15/05/2026I was there they scored 7 goals from an xg of about 1.7. Absolute freak result that wasn’t 010
Deirdre @deirdrebadger.bsky.social · 15/05/2026Reality is Klopps team wins that game 4-0. They didn’t have a shot til the 41st minute. They are League Champions 200
Deirdre @deirdrebadger.bsky.social · 10/05/2026All that is true but he’s guaranteed to be sacked in October 100
Deirdre @deirdrebadger.bsky.social · 09/05/2026If you are getting pelters from the Main Stand you are finished. #lfc 050
Deirdre @deirdrebadger.bsky.social · 12/04/2026Yes a few nasty lads required. You look at the players City have recruited recently like Cherki and Semenyo. They have an edge and it’s vital in this league 000
Deirdre @deirdrebadger.bsky.social · 12/04/2026Agreed but what we need is to recruit the right types moving forward. Also don’t think Robertson would stay if Slot is in charge. Same for Mo and Jones 100
Deirdre @deirdrebadger.bsky.social · 12/04/2026It hurts but it’s the right decision like Gini and Sadio 110
Deirdre @deirdrebadger.bsky.social · 17/03/2026Yes I know and his model required a certain amount of churn. We were in a downward spiral but the Barry situation was all season and he wasn’t going to sign I think all the noise made his mind up for him and Benitez was never going to back down Think similar to McManaman situ with Barca and Madrid 010
Deirdre @deirdrebadger.bsky.social · 17/03/2026It’s not tinted rose glasses just giving the time line some context. I just don’t think it’s fair to say he was agitating for a move without context He struggled with a broken ankle and came back to early and Benitez dropped him. His final season which was his best and it was a big f you to Benitez 111
Deirdre @deirdrebadger.bsky.social · 17/03/2026The Alonso and Arsenal links started after Benitez was courting Gareth Barry. Think it’s unfair to suggest he was agitating for a move. He saw the way the club was heading and like many of them jumped ship. Also as a basque his fondness for Madrid is not a strong as some might suggest. 210
Deirdre @deirdrebadger.bsky.social · 16/03/2026PPS if you’ve lost the Main Stand and he was getting pelters from the posh seats then I think it’s a one way street 000
Deirdre @deirdrebadger.bsky.social · 16/03/2026PS he should be sacked immediately for playing his best player as a full back constantly. Can’t believe Szob has put up with it. 000
