I dunno if its mostly got to do with the general lack of atmosphere from their fans but surely some has got to do with how the pitch seems far away from the fans, how they put the away fans right in front of goals etc. There's something really generic and artifical about them too. The big Spanish and German stadiums feel so much better to look at, again from a TV screen at least. Spurs' is just slightly better imo and West Ham's absolutely and utterly shite but they probably don't care getting it for free. If we do move from SJP I really hope they go for something unique that can retain the atmosphere and not these generic olympic type stadiums that seemed to have popped up everywhere. Expand the spurs stadium looks awesome to me. the massive kop end provides a nice balance to all the corporate seats. i'd like to see us have ends like that behind each goal. get two standing/singing sections going and keep the corporate in the two main grandstands along the length of the pitch 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LondonBlue 1054 Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 On 23/01/2025 at 15:52, Rayvin said: Yeah fair enough. Actually on a separate note, I read something in the Athletic a little while ago which suggested that City were scoring fewer goals as a team now than they were before they had Haaland. I know that's not a perfect science with all the other variables in play, but is that something that any City fans are saying at all, or just media noise? Expand It's a weird one as he obviously prolific but he's made us more predictable. You never used to know where the threat was coming from. Now it's obvious. On the other hand we won the treble in his first season so i can live with that. Think it's actually down to Pep to try and figure out. Big Erl doesn't really seem a Pep type forward but he'll be there a lot longer than Pep now so maybe we need big Sam next to play the percentages for him (not really). God help everyone else if Pep figures out how to maximise Haaland. Haaland is our Shearer. Bleeds blue. Maybe we should have switched Haaland for a midfielder at 2-0 last night, but we're a bit short in midfield. Nice problems to have. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me you just throw herring into his holding pen, jobs a good un. Big Sam would have us pumping crosses in. Pep doesn't seem to be a fan of crosses as they concede possession.
