Surely the need for a left back is because the probability is that Mendy will never play for us again, we can still get another 5/6 seasons from Zinchenko who is versatile enough to play LB or in midfield.

Yep ! we only need look at DeLap, a year can be long and potentially career threatening.

True but will have the same lack of height issues we already have.

Not so strange historically, lots of players have blossomed when playing with players of a higher standard at a higher level.

Too late to help you now.

Tell it to your hero Pep he will surely value your instructions. " A witch hunt" , now you are quoting Trump, I have read some of your posts and never thought you might be a scouser or dipper or both at the same time, some of them can actually interact on a football forum reasonably...

Maybe you aren't aware of the potential damage to your health such anxiety over a season defining game can cause. Such a frenzy after only 24 days on the forum, relax, take a laxative and let Pep and his team do the worrying.

"killers" !!!!! Wow do we not have enough lawyers employed ? Thought I was reading the Liverpool Echo or DM , looks like we have more than one Blue moon but maybe the cow has jumped over some.

They actually get experience being on the bench, not as much as playing obviously but we fill the bench to cover as many eventualities as possible even if only 3 get on. We have had senior players on the bench recently who have been nowhere near match fit, but we don't have to boost our...

Yet many posters thought we had no need to have 4 CB's earlier in the season, so what questions should the club be asking ? Why didn't we spend £100 million on 2 more experienced CB, just in case the 4 we have all are unfit at once ? Not a practical question.

Doesn't matter what Villa think they know, we have 11 players they will need to know, not to mention he knows more about most of their players than any other City player. If Pep thinks he's the man for the job, what Villa think won't be an issue.

Pep will put out what he thinks is the best team to get the 3 points, whether they are half fit or carrying a contract with another club in their hands. Losing this game would cost us far more than a drop in value of any player, I think if there was even a hint of interference in Pep's decisions...

Agree he is a very mobile player and will be a danger. To be honest I thought playing out from CB on Sunday was painfully stagnant and neither player looked near match fit and it gave West Ham time to organise defense faster than most opponents would usually get against us. Hopefully a week's...

I think long and niggling injury has been his enemy this season, he was well in Pep's thoughts when he was fully fit. Look at how long he was ill or injured, but when fit he was the academy player in the playing squad most regularly.

Some good points early on but the second half makes absolutely no football sense. "By contrast - Gundo, Rodri, KDB, Silva, Grealish, Mahrez, Foden, etc., are all far, far better in these situations." not at left back they are not, have we ever seen 1 of them play left back or even close, it's a...

Different,reasoned and balanced views are fine by me also.

It is very easy to stand by a speculative comment when you know it can never factually be proven true or false.

You sound like Neville , he names a player before a game he claims will be a weakness or poor and then spends the entire game trying to prove that he was right all along, regardless of what happens on the pitch.

Why not compare his stats with other players who have played 14 games. Cancelo and Zinny are different types of players and are usually asked to play different tactical roles, so you are not comparing like with like, not to mention you have allowed Cancelo 21 extra games to boost his stats and...

Accept what ? I accept that he is not some super hero who saves every shot and never makes mistakes like in computer games or comics, there is not 1 of those in the world. I accept there are aspects of his game he can improve. But that is the same for all players, they all have ups and downs...
