Cunts on Sky commentating or cunts on NBC?

Scouse **** Warnock co commentator and Gary Chuckle on NBC. Both stroking their semis at the thought of a Bournemouth win.

I'm happy to see that Khus is not in the squad today, in my opinion he should not have started the Swansea match, he was not near being match fit, seeing him being outpaced by players he would normally jog past was not good - just hope that this performance will not be held against him long term

 

[The Stockport Iniesta]

I really like the line up, buzzing that Cherki starts.

Cmon City!!!

 

[Stockport mackem]

Big won today blues...need to give arsenal a challenge

 

[TFC]

Be lovely to make a statement today blues, fingers out.

We've had a lot of opportunities to score going begging in the last few games. A lot of hitting the post, or defenders getting a foot in. Would be nice to get a lucky deflection, a cutback going to a City player in the box for a change, or a free header actually hitting the back of the net. I'd like us to score from a corner..

Please keep the match day thread positive.

 

[Gobshiight]

The exact lineup I was hoping for

Really looking forward to this

 

[Jason]

Bobb's injury has changed him, will need an arm around him

I don't know, he's technically brilliant but to me I'm not convinced,he just chooses the easy option eveytime,. Mentally he's failing.

 

[Xhavenjoe]

I think 27 is top-heavy and Pep likes about 22 with some youth players

Thats probably right but a lot of clubs have more than us.
I think a priority for next season is releasing/ selling the amount of players that are regularly injured.
Its either a feast or a famine

 

[Haaland94]

No Khusanov is a strange one!

Harsh to leave him out of the squad after he has been incredible for us whenever he played. Not counting the last match when he was clearly not fully fit.

Brilliant starting 11, though.

Come on now, be real.....

 

[ashleycaulcott1]

Midfield very attacking but extremely lightweight...this is Pep challenging what he talked about in the week....we have the creativity but do those players have the workmate, physicality and defensive capability...we will see

I think we can put Fodens work rate to bed, kid dont stop

 

[vicblueman]

Idiots on sky fuckinhell .
just put the channel on to hear Cherki needs to get consistancy in his game to get rythym .
Quick flick over & wait for kickoff before flicking back on .

 

[Blue-Ghana]

He loses the ball too.much atm. Once he gets better at that he will get more starts.

Don't care if loses the ball,he knows how to shoot .

 

[cleavers]

Not counting the last match when he was clearly not fully fit.

Which is probably why he's not in it today.

 

[handsofstone]

Given the fitness of players like Khusanov and Rodri think this is probably the best XI we could have gone with.

Don't like Bunes vs Semenyo but his pace could help and I like that we have gone with Dias-Gvardiol as the CB partnership, dont like Gvardiol at LB at all

 

[mosssideblue]

Come on lads

 

[Ajm1985]

Harsh to leave him out of the squad after he has been incredible for us whenever he played. Not counting the last match when he was clearly not fully fit.

Presume they believe he's still not fully fit

 

[cleavers]

See you on the other side, hopefully happy.
