Pep calling Fat Sam a genius

View attachment 8998

Was one of the highest paid managers in the world at West Ham. So I suppose it's how you define genius?

That needs to be our team for next few weeks with only sterling I’m unsure off .

Phil Foden looks fresh, and ravenously hungry. Also, 80% of our midfield creativity is coming from him at present. There is no way he's not playing againt WBA. Sheffield United, maybe.

 

[Zin 'messiah' Zimmer]

I’m looking forward to seeing the contrast to a few weeks ago when they robbed a draw, especially with Jabba at the helm

3-0, back in the goals for Raz

 

[Cotton Weave Blue]

Be nice to go top overnight and let the pressure heap on Utd a bit to keep up. Last week there was only a couple of hours between us going top and then them playing Fulham.

 

[Lovebitesandeveryfing]

when they robbed a draw,

Honestly, they didn't. They did what any vastly inferior team would do against against any vastly superior one. Frustrating as it was, the responsibility was largely on us.

 

[N1985]

Score early and we'll twat em.

1-0 it is then.

 

[AlexWilliamsGloves]

He played vs villa (full) but was rested vs crystal palace..but before crystal I think he played 4 matches in 10 days (he also had a 1 week rest before this 4 matches in 10 days). Hmm then I think he is gonna start tomorrow and get a rest vs sheffield.

I'm looking forward to the commentators discussing how its a scandal Foden doesnt play enough and that he needs to play more, and Phil must be frustrated at so little game time.....then Phil will score and the discussion will turn to how well Pep is "managing" the situation.

Be a tough game tonight i’d like to see Torres through the middle, much more of a goal threat than Jesus

 

[MK-Blues]

we are going top of the league!

How times change. A few weeks ago Gundogan was getting dogs abuse (not from you Paul) and now he is in peoples fantasies!

 

[Uncle Wally One Ball]

we are going top of the league!

Now youve done it

We need our strongest side and have to start on the front foot. BFS will have them well drilled and they will get 10 behind the ball.

I'd love to see us shooting more; if we don't score we'll get chances from ricochets. At the mo, I'd trust young Phil and silky Ilkay to both shoot from distance and take on 1 to 1s.

It's very tempting to lambast players when we don't think they're performing. Raz and Mahrez are 2 in particular who look rotten. However this is an ideal game to get them going back to basics hugging the touchline dribbling past defenders. I'm predicting a nervy 1-2 away win!

 

[RandomJ]

Really not looking forward to watching yet another park the bus masterclass where they will be defending like their lives depend on it despite rolling over for every other team. Gonna be a frustrating watch. Just hope Pep doesn’t pick Mahrez for this.
