A no brainer to bring him back. Would I choose him over Bruno G? No. But I think it's clear that we will not be getting a big hitter midfielder at this point. If it's Gundo or no one, it is an easy choice. He will add goal threat and leadership. 1 or 2 year contract. Bruno G next summer.

I am kind of hoping that Arsenal beats Bayern. When you look at the fixtures, semi finals between us would favour us over Arsenal. Yes, maybe Liverpool would be the overall winners of that, but I am more concerned about arsenal not dropping points than liverpool.

I think pep played him centrally because we didn't have akanji or stones. As soon as we have a centre back who can join rodri in midfield, he doesn't need the wingers to invert and gvardiol and walker to play as wingers. The availability of Akanji and Stones has the most influence on whether...

Initially I wasn't quite getting the hype. Looked like a very good talent but not a world class one. However, I watched the first half of rosario - river plate match and he looked class above others at 18 years old. Obviously he has excellent ball control, dribbling, passing etc. but also, his...

Tbh most Rodri yellows this season have been deserved. He's been left quite isolated against counter attacks in our kamikaze type games. I think he will be able to avoid yellows once we start controlling games better with stones, kdb and akanji coming back to starting lineup. Also, it would be...

I think it's because of his passing ability (and attacking in general). We would be praising the likes of rodri, kdb or foden if they played some of the line breaking passes he does. I would blame pep for his defensive difficulties since he's told to go so much forward. I think that he will be...

I think yellows don't cross competitions

True I just found out he's on 7, don't know where I heard 8. I agree, brentford and bournmouth would be the ideal fixtures to miss. WIll be weird watching city games hoping that he gets yellows :D

TBH even after chelsea we have brentford and bournemouth, so any two of the next 6 fixtures would be fine, we can't afford to miss him for two games after United at home.

Actually it does not, I just checked. I was just confused since he missed the carabao cup game with red card but apparently it's different with yellow cards / fa cup. However, if he was to get yellows against burnley and brentford, he would miss everton and chelsea, both home. That is the best...

If I was Pep, I would tell Rodri to take yellows against spurs and burnley... We can cope without him against brentford & everton / next round of fa cup... There isn't a better two fixtures to miss for the rest of the season and let's be honest, he will take two cards before it resets again.

Would be great to have Stones and/or Akanji back for spurs to give a bit of composure in the buildup to prevent it becoming a basketball match. Getting Erling back is not too critical at the moment, we don't really NEED him until arguably against liverpool in March. Of course he will help to...

Wouldn't start kdb in this. He can probably influence the game more in the last 35 minutes than in the first 60, since at the start spurs will have energy to close out spaces and counter attack but as they run out of gas we can introduce Kev (Might be okay to give him his first start against...

Stones would be important in the newcastle match. Let's see if he trains during next week. Unlikely haaland will start given that he's been out for over a month....

Who's Osuno?

If you look at the replay, you can see that his left ankle twisted quite badly when he turned to clear the ball.

To me he doesn't really look like a lone 6 type of a player. Maybe in a double pivot or as an 8 initially and later maybe can take over from Rodri...

Apart from Szoboszlai, Wirtz would be the most straight forward KDB long-term replacement. Of course we have seen before that Pep rarely replaces his superstars with like-for-like players. I expect him to mould Alvarez, Foden, Paqueta or some other left field name to fit our new system whatever...

I don't see a world where we would buy him since we already have two players who prefer left wing... Maybe Jack could be moved more central or Doku to right wing but I think we would benefit much more from a player that is primarily a right winger

With his playing style and quite stocky body type I'm not sure if he will ever be able to play a full 90 minutes the way he played the first 45... That's not a huge problem however. He will learn when to go and when to chill. Also, in games that are played even more in the opposition half he...
