Little room for error in games like this. A hat trick against cannon fodder won't make up for it. Need to step up when the stakes are high.

When the stakes are high in the later knockout stages against tougher opposition the margin for error is miniscule. I hope (and trust) he will be ready.

Surplus to requirements

Time to prepare the war chest

Either sign the brute or walk away, let's get this saga over with please.

gvardiol played against us too...it works both ways

surely we can at least try to persuade. Not too different than what Bayern did with Sane.

Not sure why we aren't moving heaven and earth to get Kimmich. Can slot into defence or midfield, great vision and passing range. Especially now that Walker is going the other way.

now we can, since we have the proper fullbacks

He is one of the best distributers of the ball in our team. The last two seasons, especially when playing through the lines receiving the ball from Ederson.

That was the only example I could think of. But if he could play vs. spurs, then why not against any other lower team?

Pep not playing foden (or anyone outside the first team) despite being 3-0 up and the game seemingly dead, it seems the only way foden might start a competitive game is if all variables are perfect, i.e foden impressing, midfield depth injuries, and cannon fodder opposition. I don't think he's...

Hoping to see both foden and cancelo in the starting 11, hope angelino gets some gametime if he makes the bench

I am hoping to see Angelino or even Cancelo on the left side. I was disappointed to see the former did not even make the bench. Nothing against Zin, but we could use another attacking dimension on that side. Walker was wrecking havoc yesterday, something we won't see from Zin's inverted fullback...

I can't say I loved him as much as others here, but taking factors into consideration, it is his first competitive game. One thing I noticed when comparing to fern was how much slower we were breaking the press after goal kicks, he seemed to linger on the pass much longer, preferring to play...

buy the kid, sell sane and mahrez

Up the Zin!

Walker's problem is his predictability in his passing. nearly 100% of his passes are either a simple pass to the midfield forward, or safely back to the CB. On top of that, he is certain to get the simple pass wrong at least once in the game. Most obvious today was the poor backpass as...

technically better yes I agree, and I think he is head and shoulders the best current CB in the league. However, surpassing Vin is unlikely for me imo. VK's physicality, stature, leadership and general feeling of assuredness make him a better defender than Laporte (if we compare VK's prime to...

You really have it in for him, don't you.
