I'd say it's coming in off the right, with a right back who can cover the wider play down that flank I.e Nunes. When he was at his best, he was a bit like Robben. Not as quick but similar in the sense you knew exactly what he was gonna do, cut in on his left, but you couldn't stop it anyway...

Replace Dias with Khusanov and that's probably the team I'd go for. Ake left back is probably the only other one I'd worry about. He is as slow as shit now (he was never quick) despite you saying he has fresh legs. I think we would get exposed for lack of pace down that side. So I'd go with...

Wouldn't mind seeing both Cherki and Phil start together again. Perfect moment for Phil to really kick on again in a big game. We looked really good at the back end of last year when both were playing, Haaland too. All 3 were on fire and Phil looked back to his best. Then we stopped playing...

On Merit, Phil certain doesn't deserve it at the moment but it shows that Tommy clearly rates him and is probably hoping he suddenly hits some kind of form. I'm always in the camp of picking players who deserve it in that moment, but if I was England manager and looking at who are genuinely...

3 years since we've beaten them in a game. Nowhere near good enough. Time to put that right and set the tone for the league meeting too. Not to mention we have been dog dirt in our last two cup finals at Wembley. Time for the lads to turn up and put things right.

I'd be disappointed and embarrassed to watch that horrible little **** carrying out his antics in a city shirt

Definitely not Tired of us putting players in positions they don't really play. Besides, having that kind of speed at centre back is far more useful because teams usually hit us on the break through the middle. There was a couple of moments against Madrid the other day when they would be clean...

In my opinion, as someone who used to be a decent sprinter and ran at a decent club level, Khusa would beat prime kyle if they both had a decent amount of space to run into, say 100m. I reckon Kyle was a bit quicker off the mark as Khusanov is a big unit but Khusa would do him once he gets...

He has some very good attributes He really needs better timing in terms of when to release the ball. It often feels like he does great work and then holds on a second too long.

I think many men probably would accept it these days. Obviously you'll still get a percentage of cunts who won't, but for the most part I reckon most fellas in the stadium wouldn't be arsed in this day and age. Social media would be a bigger problem I think. There would be trolls hiding behind...

Spot on. That decision was simply down to wanting Dias in the team. People said it was to put Khusanov up against that little prick of theirs but Nunes also has plenty of pace himself, so that's not the reason. It was simply to shoehorn Dias into the side last week, making us worse off at both...

Still, at least he gets to rail Maya Jama and become a celebrity. Swings and roundabouts. But yeah he will be here a while, probably holding back better defenders because nobody will match or better the contract we gave him. Sadly he will keep being picked based on "experience" even though...

We need more pace and physicality in the middle. Playing both Rodri and Bernado is just suicidal against any teams who run through the middle with any decent pace. That's why we need to replace Bernado and Pep needs to stop thinking he is the be all and end all. He's one of the reasons teams...

These players are paid millions to instinctive in the correct way Also, I'm not buying it was just instructed because he already put his arms behind his back, so that proves he already knew he can't use them and that he needs to throw his body behind the ball..but then decided not too. If it...

I'd agree but something is clearly off with him that he can barely get a game off the bench. But if it's true that he is struggling mentally, then he probably shouldn't even be sat on the bench and instead getting on top of that. Something is up though

No. We just need to drop Dias and let Khusanov be what he is, a CB. We don't need any Pep party tricks like trying to make him into something he isn't. Play the best players in their best positions.

Hes only 28 but seems to be declining prematurely and rapidly. Granted he's never been the most athletically gifted but he had timing and anticipation that more than made up for it. Those seem to be gone now and he's just looks poor against anyone with a bit of pace and control. Looks like an...

Or maybe it's just an indication he's well off it in training and behind the scenes, not just in games. If Pep thought he could make an impact, he would be on but obviously he sees him every day.

Nothing to do with admiration We simply can't get over the line against them and our players often shit the bed when we go up against them. To say we are definitely better than them is a stretch. We used to be but we need to stop living in the past to 3 or 4 years ago. I don't think there's...

He's not. He's by far our best goalscorer despite the dip in form We have the leading goalscorer in the league and Cherki, who has the best assists per minutes ratio in the league, actually one of the highest ratios in the history of the league. What we need is them both playing and build up...
