i think those that are so easy about leting ederson go are forgetting how much we rely on him for our playing out from the back. I dont doubt that Ortega is the better shop stopper and maybe better at 1 vs 1.....btu he is nowhere near as calm with the ball at his feet..im not saying he isnt...

Remember we also have Echeveri coming in as well in January

Looks great going forward but we know Pep demands work rate and defensively especially. Something he will probably need to learn and therefore he will possibly be a slow burner getting some minutes here and there in the season..... or he comes in and blows the league away!!! - one can only...

Maybe but he hasnt shown that here so far....he passes safely and retains possession and even when in the middle of the park he often does the same....one attribute he does have for that central role is that he carries the ball well but im not sure he has that final ball in him

Grealish does keep the ball well but he is not creative...not upto now at least. Pep has trusted Foden to move central so its clear that he doesnt think Grealish can at present or he would have tried it. We do need an alternative and eventual replacement for KDB....it aint going to be Paquetta...

the performance looked leggy from our players. Ive said it numerous times this season but we need to have a plan for KDB as he cannot keep doing it on a regular basis.....he was so poor today and he looked way off it and we have seen other games like that....even over half a season of...

With Varane and the evil little midget back next to him they are stronger in defence which allows casemiro to play his midfield role as well so again making them stronger than previous meetings this season. However as always their main threat is hitting us on the break and this is what we need...

this would really piss people off.....hope it happens just for that reason ;-)

as an aside, besides the disaster that was Mendy, have we actually had a specialist left back since Pep was at the club besides Clichy? Bernardo, Zin, Delph, Gvardiol, Ake, Laporte (probably others as well) have all played there but none of those would call it their primary position - not that...

to be fair he was a big guy (unhealthy) - so he needed to lose weight but the amount he has lost in a relatively short amount of time is impressive if it is a fitness plan/diet/whatever.

anyone notice how much weight he has lost recently - hope he is ok health wise as he has lost an awful lot!

Im guessing this will come after the FA cup final. Can not wait - they are always so good.

I said that Moyes would try and spoil and sit deep and defend.....very very predictable

someone suggested that this game wasnt as important as the FA cup final....i disagree - its more important and even if there is a slight doubt over a players fitness, id prefer to play them in this game rather than the FA cup final (KDB for instance)

PL is more important than the FA cup final - regardless of who we are facing....anything can happen in a cup game regardless of what teams are on the pitch.....

Just do our job...thats the main thing.... West Ham could score goals against us - they have the players to play on the break and are decent at it. Moyes will set up to play defensively and spoil and play on the break....... but defensively they have been all at sea recently so we know we have...

While I dont doubt any of that at leas some of it is potential rhetoric that any player/agent spouts - the bit about him going nowhere. We are now a big as pull if not bigger than Bayern....we got sane before he went there (and we are bigger than that now). We got Gundo as well. Sane as made...

Some dont want to move yet he may go to Bayern others are saying? that makes zero sense. Bayern are not the pull they used to be nor are they the force they once were. He is a natural successor to KDB - he is young and had room for development - we are treble winners, potential 4 times...

guarnateed Spitty mentions how the achievement is tainted or something along those lines. His whole club is tainted forever by the death of 39 Italians which is somehow brushed under the carpet, not to mention bus attacks, hacking databases and numerous other fan incidents over history.

why? every player and club have a price
