Antoine Semenyo- Manchester City's new winger?

Thread. Image To start with, I don't think Semenyo should be City's #1 priority. However, he's available before any big midfield targets, is homegrown, and is an actual winger who gets shots from wide areas. That means he is somebody who adds something slightly different.

João Pedro | Some observations 🔵

Where does he play, what are his tendencies? A thread 🧵👇 Image João Pedro, to me, bears similarities to the likes of Omar Marmoush and Matheus Cunha in terms of zones.

They're neither here nor there, neither CFs nor wingers, but they still have useful traits best utilised in specific zones.

Morgan Gibbs White— Nottingham Forest's #10.

Some personal observations.

THREAD. Image Ever since I saw the links to Manchester City, it feels like I've mostly seen discourse range from 'He's great' to 'he's too expensive' to 'he's shit'.

I think Gibbs White does a lot of things that don't necessarily create a pretty FBREF Data sheet.

Omar Marmoush— one of the best attackers in the Bundesliga.

Some personal observations.

THREAD. Image For starters, Marmoush plays in a front 2 for Frankfurt— a lovely duo with Ekitike who's a bit Isak-esque in his associative play, dribbles, and runs.

Marmoush's role isn't restricted to a single zone— I've seen him run off the shoulder, play behind a CF or out wide.

Manchester City's Press:
- What went wrong in the opener yesterday.
- *PERSONAL* observations on City's press: a pattern that's been noticeable over the past few months.

THREAD. Image First off, starting with what went wrong yesterday.

McAtee covers Bentancur- an important part of their build-up.

Foden jumps to press the CB and then Vicario.

Nunes moves to mark Romero whilst also marking space b/w him and Gray.

Ake backing up the press--> Gray. Image

𝗣𝗲𝗿𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗔𝗻𝗮𝗹𝘆𝘀𝗶𝘀: 𝗦𝗮𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗵𝗼 𝘃𝘀 𝗦𝗽𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗮 𝗣𝗿𝗮𝗴𝘂𝗲.

- His incredible 1v1 game.
- Impacting different game states.
- Creating separation.

THREAD. Image Savinho is one of my favourite wingers to analyse- not only is he ridiculously fun to watch but also incredibly intelligent in his actions- slows down when it's needed, and speeds up time at his own will.

In my view, he has both Grealish and Doku's best qualities.

Oscar Bobb: Manchester City's *NEXT* Academy Player to make it to the first team?

A thread on what I think his strengths are, and the type of player he *COULD* become.

🧵 Image Oscar Bobb's got a unique physical profile- strong upper body, nimble build that gives him a low centre of gravity.

Remind you of somebody? Image
