I get that there's been a decline in terms of a direct comparison to last season but thats because last season was freakishly good. It's probably the best season we'll see in our lifetimes. Add to that the lads have already brought in two trophies this year, into the quarters of the UCL...

I get that but you also have to factor in our record there as well as the fact that a lot has been made of the players they missed whilst forgetting they still had a competent team I’m all for debating the performance but some of the reaction in this thread has been over the top. Questioning...

Jesus! This thread reads like we’ve lost. We’re a point off the top with 10 to go. Surely history tells us these lads and pep will get the job done. Cheer up

I hope to god you're wrong. Our rivals would lap that up

About bloody time

Rest one or two from the off and it will still be strong enough to win the game. Hopefully we're a goal or two up by 55th min and then we can make the most of the 5 subs to rest a few others. I imagine one goal early doors would be enough to knock any wind out of the Copenhagen sails and allow...

I'm not sure he's been key as he's only had 6 starts out of his 15 appearances

With the Arsenal result this evening, this game just became a tiny bit more important. Let’s get a winning run going and really start to apply the pressure. Haaland, KDB and Doku back over the next few weeks should really start to make the difference in attack. We just need the defence to become...

As I explained in another reply, I’m not behind the idea of the super league. I’m just opposed to the idea of UEFA being the bastion of European football. They control football to suit whatever is in their own best interest and we as city fans should know that

Sorry, there might be a bit of crossed wires. I’m suggesting the prestige of the competition doesn’t originate from it being called the UEFA champions league. It originates from it being the premier club competition in Europe. Obviously if they change the format/rules that will have an effect on...

Thats because those tournaments are pre season frendlies. If the new tournament was in place of the champions league then the average TV viewer would tune in and thats what sponsors care about. Just look at when the european cup became the champions league. Rebranding of tournaments doesn't...

He was doing what it took to clear the ball. The fault if on anything is on two things. 1. Mainly the linesman not putting up his flag for an offside meaning Stones had to treat it like he wasn't offside and do what it took to clear the ball 2. Evertons pitch being of a shit standard Its not...

You could also frame the argument in that are you watching it because it has UEFA slapped on it or are you watching it because its the best teams in europe competing against each other. If the best teams in europe created the champions league away from UEFA with all the current rules then it...

Are you seriously trying to blame the lad for his injury?

Where’s this from?

He's back in training so there's a chance he could make the bench for this one but most probably fit enough for sheff utd this weekend

Seems they’re all wanking themselves silly over Greenwood again. According to the rags today he’d start for us and he’s better than Doku and Foden.

That midfield is a country mile better than the one that started the last game

I seem to remember a while back that someone posted he was a young fan from abroad or I could be getting him mixed up with someone else

Some of the over reactionary stuff in this thread is laughable. We weren't great last night but we've had bad days in the past and came back stronger from them. With the midfield injuries and suspensions, coming up against a very good Villa side was always going to be a tough ask. We deal with...
