Deserved a goal that. No surprise it was started by Mahrez giving the ball away again.

Valid point, calling him a natural LB was the wrong phrase to use. However, let’s not pretend that we bought him to play in any other position than LB. Zinc was a utility player who managed to slot in at LB and done a cracking job for us. Gomez on the other hand has a year under his belt at LB...

A controlled performance but we’ve looked utterly toothless in the process. Only Pep could play a natural RB at LB, a CB at RB and leave a natural LB on the bench.

It doesn’t really get much better than that in an away CL game. Gomez looks a proper tidy little player. Like a Zinchenko clone but with a wicked cross on him. Grealish was really encouraging for me. He was direct, a handful but his final pass seemed lacking. Got to remember that he has been...

Kev missed an excellent chance against Villa to put us 2-0 as well. We need to start putting sides to bed.

It’s a really interesting dynamic of F1 being both a team and individual sport at the same time. It must take a strong mindset not to overreact in situations like this though. I also don’t think Russell did anything wrong. He made the right strategy call for himself. It’s Merc who screwed...

Grealish, Sterling, Jesus and Mahrez have all been slagged off from performances 10x the one Foden put in today. He needs to up his game big time.

Just been slow with our play. Up the tempo and we can win this, I suppose the danger is that it also leaves us open to the counter. A big worry is our decision making though. Walker not passing to Haaland was a crazy decision but I think Phil’s was even worse. He was one-on-one with an injured...

Is it tactical that our wingers cannot drive forwards with the ball? Grealish has come in for a lot of criticism for it but Foden now seems to play the same way.

They’ll be many games like the one against Palace where both Haaland and Alvarez play together. That might result in us going to 3 at the back. When we move to three at the back Walker staying on the pitch is a must due to his pace. However, a pacy CB lessens the reliance on Walker. Plus...

If he played for Dortmund he’d be a £70 million player based on his ability right now.

I viewed this differently. Morgan’s argument stemmed from the position that cancel culture is a huge issue. Whereas O’Brien’s was the opposite. The onus is surely on Morgan to prove his case. The fact he was happy to state how loads of people have been cancelled but then couldn’t name any...

I know people who have left a job on around 30k a year to a lesser paid job due to the negative working environment. If he wants a change in environment and move to a club where he is more appreciated, then he will leave Barca. He’s probably already set for life financially and will be...

I’d personally take the hit and offer Bernie for De Jong, no transfer fee involved. If Barca reject, then it’s an easy sell to Bernardo that they don’t value him at a reasonable £65 million so he stays another season. If Barca do accept, offer FDJ the rumoured £300k p/w Bernie was being...

He already is an overhyped English player. Don’t get me wrong, he’s an excellent footballer, similar to the likes of Grealish, Mount and Maddison. However, he’s not the second coming of Messi like some people make out. Nor is he England’s best midfielder/attacker.

He’s getting better every game for us. You can see in glimpses that he’ll be unstoppable on his day. That said, I think the worst thing about his performances so far has been his finishing. That sounds mad considering he’s got 3 goals in 3 games, but he’s missed quite a few excellent chances...

I think that’s a bit harsh. However, his pace definitely covers for his lack of overall footballing ability. Once he loses that he’s simply a good technical player in a team of outstanding technical players and will be sold.

These sort of games show just how good a side we are. Newcastle were excellent all over the pitch, had the crown behind them and they still couldn’t beat us. In fact, their keeper should have been MOTM. We had too many players off it today but it’s still early in the season. Stones, Walker and...

Got a huge game midweek we need to save players for.

I don’t think he’s anti-City, he’s just a miserable **** who finds the negative in everything.
