How the fcuk does Sterling and Cancelo get into the team after their last performances.
Unbelievable.

Have you see Mendy play recently? As for Sterling I guess it's a lack of options.

This is a match where the double pivot actually makes sense. It was WBA at home where it didn’t.

It was glaringly fucking obvious that West Brom would offer very little going forward, and therefore the double pivot was unnecessary.

Foden or Silva in the starting XI would have made much more sense.

To me, at least.

 

[doobyedoobye]

May be more to the rumours about the training ground incident.

What rumour?

 

[citytill1die84]

So,no proper focal point,no wingers,and the same old cutting inside and playing around the box shite.

Yep, another frustrating afternoon ahead.

 

[balotelli's back pocket]

Wanted to see Foden in and Sterling out and no Gundo/Rodri together but you can’t have everything

Foden in? He started against West Brom (and was anonymous). At least Sterling created our only goal.

 

[Gabriel]

Nine subs.

I don’t think so!

New rule today but can still only use 3, or none...

 

[The1nvisibleMan]

Not happy with that.

What would you go for?

 

[MAG]

Lucky kit today for us ... the paisley pink one!

Well, at least we will win the possession stat. That’s about all I can see is getting from this game. We are woeful infront of goal, Sterling couldn’t hit the ground if he fell over and Rodri and Gundo are so slow in midfield that a supertanker turns faster than they do.
I really want them to prove me wrong today, but I don’t want my hopes destroyed YET AGAIN.
Please put the ball in the OPPOSITIONS net at least one more time than it goes into ours.

Felix Nmecha on the bench, one of the academy who seems to do fuck all, unlike Doyle, Palmer, Delap who are nowhere to be seen

Do you ever post anything positive? It's the season of goodwill. To all men. Yes, even to Nmecha. Try it, you might be surprised.

Where is Jesus, surely you can't drop him at this time of yea

Where is Jesus, surely you can't drop him at this time of year

Dear god, just when i thought it couldnt get worse , blue doesnt clash

 

[balotelli's back pocket]

Difficult when you dont play...

Read what I said Kaz. in his (aguero's) last 5 league games, not the teams last 5 games.

 

[Exeter Blue I am here]

He hasn't hit a shot on target in last 5 Prem games apparently

If you think he is the player to lead this attack then we are fucked

I’d rather have Jesus, who is a) a centre forward by trade, and b) grafts non-stop, than Torres, who’s a) a winger and b) disappears for 30 minutes at a time

 

[Bill]

good. why not pick that side v WBA ffs.

I think Pep is losing the plot. It's a must win game and he starts Rodri treacle toesTrotter with fuckin' spud Gun. And FFS, no Foden. WTF : /

With Stirling I suspect they are hoping he snaps out of the utter dross form he has shown so far.
