No way am I writing him off yet but I do think Pep knows that he hasn't got the legs, or intensity anymore to play midfield in a 4-3-3. I think all the messing around with formations this year is to do with finding him a new role, than it is anything else. He definitely shouldn't be playing...

Stones is our best CB, so ahead of either Dias or Akanji

If we lose this, Liverpool v Southampton will make for horrible viewing. Liverpool win by a decent margin and it could come down to who wins and by how many, last game of the season. Don't think my nerves could take that! Got to win this one!!

Fair points. Although I don't think Walkers gets behind defenders to cut the ball back that often. His main attribute is his physicality and ability to cover the space left in behind. Whatever Pep decides to go with, it will obviously negate our usual style with our first choice FB's being...

I'd imagine if it's a toss up between Zinchenko and Ake at RB, he'd go for Zinchenko. I just think he's technically better than Ake and he could play a similar role to what Cancelo does at LB.

I'm astonished by how many were happy to take him. I don't want the egotistical weirdo at our club, let him go United, they're made for each other. Need to look at the bigger picture. If it means one season without winning anything, to get the right players in (hopefully) next summer, so what...

Our plan B is backing what we've already got!!

I don't see anybody being at fault here. It's simply 2 clubs not agreeing a fee, both parties are entitled to their own valuation of the player. Kane wanted his move, he didn't get it, it's a shame for him but at the end of the day he's under contract. Don't think he bottled it at all. What...

He need's to be training somewhere to be ready for the start of the season and if he does leave, he'll want it to be on good terms. It's more strange that Harry hasn't turned up, but then again he wont be in a rush to make the first game.

Ah ok fair point mate. I think he'd fit perfect with our style of play.

Why are we not set up to play to his strengths? I've heard this a few times and don't understand.

Just out of interest, how are you working out the % for injuries? How is it 5% for 2 injuries? 3% for Dias to get injured etc?

Think Pep will pick the 11 tonight and against Everton that he intends on playing in the CL final (minus De-Bruyne if he's not 100%). Think he'll rotate against Brighton to keep everybody involved and ready to step in if needed. Like to think he'll make use of subs too. This approach will make...

There was a lot to be annoyed with last night. Can't ever recall being so angry myself after winning by a 3 goal margin. Don't think it's anything deeper.

Would love this line-up. Probably go with Cancelo over Mendy though, Cancelo could be rested in the CL and FA Cup.

These next 2 games are massive in my opinion. Win both and we go 17 points clear before they play West Ham. Then it's a couple of weeks off from the Premier League, hopefully Sergio will be in a position to start the games in the CL and FA Cup and he'll kick on from then. Not too arsed about...

Pep always says that the focus/priority is the next game and given the strong teams he puts out against lesser opposition in the domestic cups....I believe him & its worked so far. It's daft to think about prioritising certain competitions, as soon as that happens concentration and the whole...
