To be fair I think Lake would be a bit old now even if his knee was alright

£30m for Stones when he's on a kings ransom, never stays fit and only has a year left is wildly optimistic. I'd say similar for Grealish too, who will end up on loan somewhere

I think he meant 4 in total

Yeah, I got them muddled up. That midweek game was something else, I remember him being untouchable and then had to go off

How many times has he played central midfield and played well then? Because I struggle to remember many. I agree about the lack of physicality in the midfield, but he's not the answer. And he can't tackle for toffee himself

Someone mentioned it the other day - it seemed to be either him or Eze after the paqueta deal was off after his betting allegations. They're 4 very different players, so if you add that to the Phillips transfer it goes to show just how muddled the thinking got

He's exactly the player we need now that we have runners. If he was playing in a pocket behind a front 3 we'd be flying. If we had a 5 years younger Kevin we'd be...well, we'd be the centurions.

I might have this slightly wrong, so apologies in advance if I have, but I remember Sergio getting a first half hat trick against Spurs & then going off injured. One of those games where he was absolutely untouchable

He might have said he wants to stay, but he's put of contract so it's not up to him

I hope he leaves, for both our sakes. He's not good enough for us by a long chalk, but it's also no good for him to sit on the bench all season when he could go somewhere else and play every week. I'm still absolutely baffled about his signing, never a city player in a million years

He's having a poor season, no doubts about that. For the first time this season I've felt like he doesn't have the answers, which is unsettling because he's always been the one to innovate. I'm a bit unsure as to whether he can adapt again & create another new team, but I'm 100% certain I...

The first touch thing suggests there's something seriously wrong doesn't it? It should be a given for top players and for a player who's previously had a magical touch it suggests a big underlying problem. If he was a golfer maybe it'd be the yips...

I love Haaland but we've all seen plenty of games where he's a statue in the box himself

Oh come on, the speed of the game and the difficulty of that pass - expecting him to pass there isn't realistic. He did nothing wrong there.

I've been an advocate of his, but he just doesn't do enough, a couple of times we had the ball near his area and he was really passive. Just doesn't believe in himself

Feel sorry for him, clearly struggling badly, but he's been strapped up and sent out again

He actually seemed to look across to the bench after playing a pass straight out of play as if to plead to be out out of his misery

It was harsh, but fuck me he was absolutely terrible. It's really sad and a bit upsetting, but we can't play him anymore

I think the screens would have been put up after that shot just before half time...

I agree, he was one who could hold his head high - especially as he improved after his mistake. He's not perfect but he was alright today
