Nobody's laughing at the lack of a striker right now. I am sure Sanchez would have scored plenty plenty at City, but that's another matter. In my opinion, we have lacked the option of a well built striker who can muscle his way in the box for a number of years. We've done really well without...

United just about to sign Cavani - he would have been a decent buy while we find a longer term replacement for Sergio.

What utter tosh that Pep wants it more than anybody, works harder than anybody... It's a nice dream, but has absolutely no substance to it at all. I don't doubt he wants to win the title again, or that he works hard, but this 'more than anybody' crap is just romantic rhetoric. He'll be off...

It's really poor, and predictable. Something lacking in the spirit of the side. A lot of the aura about us is fading fast too which is a huge factor. We don't like it up us, and teams are learning that very fast.

Pretty diabolical really. We are pretty predictable, and any decent counter attacking team stands a fair chance against us. It's early days, but I suspect we're in for another poor season.

During is 'in form' period, I thought he was precisely the sort of aggressive striker we needed. Someone prepared to bully defenders. I still think we need a bit of that in the team. After the injury at West Ham, he was never the same - and the rumours of off field issues just seemed to put paid...

I do think Pep likes to believe his own hype sometimes and overthinks things with rotation, but at the same time he's not only having to try and pace the squad throughout the whole season (which for us, tends to be more games than most) - but he's also got man management to deal with (players no...

It's a 'relative' mess. In real terms, they might not be quite so dominant and will have to rebuild over the next couple of years. Happens to all clubs, and it's happening to us too to a lesser degree. In the grand scheme of things, it's not a real disaster is it?

We can't always be about buying players at the top of their game... we also have to be about buying players with potential, and bringing them on. We've bought plenty of players who we thought were good enough and they turned out to be dross.

Should get a little Matt Busby one done, just as a reminder about his roots!

We have had our weaknesses exposed. We have an opportunity to address them.

We'd be far better off with someone like mbappe

He is a wonderful player, but would we really want to build a team around him? and if it wasn't built around him, would he really be prepared to be merely a team player. Give me a great team of great players, but not a superstar. Superstars give me an uneasy feeling, particularly those that...

We didn't play well. We played how we've played so many times - with one dimension, based on possession and hopefully breakdown a defence. Very very rarely do we ever change to sit deep and play counter attack, we have no tall guy to hold up a ball... we have no 'bullies' on the pitch to rile...

My argument is that mistakes are more likely to happen when under pressure, and we lost our composure at 2-1. When we beat teams, we take credit for applying the pressure that leads to mistakes, so by the same reckoning, we have to say Liverpool induced us into being 'rattled' and forced our...

Let's not be churlish, they played football and are just as capable as we are at stringing together some high precision passes for a swift counter. I don't think we had a particularly 'bad' game - they simply put in an incredible effort and pressed up for the full 90 minutes - we simply didn't...

Liverpool deserved it. They pressed and worked much harder and took their chances. City might have to learn to be more pragmatic against certain teams who are capable of hurting us. I can totally sympathise with the 'we won't change our style' mantra, but I think that's going to be part of Pep's...

It was in response to the suggestion that Pep didn't swap and change in this manner elsewhere. There are reasons why we need to be a more flexible team in the PL. There are at least another 6 teams in the PL who can give us a very tough game and most of the rest can put up a fight if we're not...

At Bayern and Barca he didn't have to adapt the way he does with the PL. We all know those leagues are largely two horse races, three at best. The PL is a different kettle of fish. It's also fair to say that for Barca and Bayern, even in Europe, most of the onus was on other clubs to adapt - in...

It's quite evident we need a complete overhaul. The fans on the right are not liberal enough our playing style, and the lads on the left are all about hard work without any organisational skills. Behind the goals, we are getting one dimensional views whilst the North Stand are sitting on their...
