I’d be amazed if Madrid manage it this year. I think over 2 legs Arsenal would have far too much for them. Could only see PSG and Bayern who’re capable of beating them but Arsenal look the strongest team in it

Well, if that’s the worry Gvardiol is doing well to start at centre half. Seems to have a brain fart with the ball on an almost weekly basis

Kind of agree, i’m quite enjoying some of our football in recent weeks (forgetting that from the B team the other night). I think the team has a lot of potential with the likes of Doku, Cherki and Foden behind Haaland. I do think we’re another year off though and i’m fine with that. Apart from...

I didn’t say it doesn’t take an exceptional manager as Ferguson proved time and again but there wasn’t many times he didn’t have the best squad or starting 11 or spend the most money. The only time he blatantly didn’t have the better starting 11 was the year the Mancini fell out with half the...

Of course the manager matters and the style of play is down to the manager. Apart from Clichy the year he won it with Mancini i don’t think we’ve ever had a proper decent left back(ironically until now). Delph was actually superb that year. If you’ve got KDB, David Silva, prime Dinho, Sergio...

Yeah, didn’t mean to add the other comment. Of course you’re entitled to your opinion but i was just saying the kid probably loves playing football. Kids who are brilliant often play up a couple of year groups. As this kid might be so good he’s jumped up more than a couple.

Be leaving a lot of tools in his current squad

Was certainly pretty good

Sure the kid loves playing football every day!

Well that could be a good thing! I get that you could say he hung them out to dry but Savinho played on the wings. He wasn’t out of position and his horrendous performance wasn’t down to what people around him were doing. I do think he’s got a lot of natural ability. However, what’s really not...

That young 27 year old midfielder! Don’t think there was anything panicky from Pep last night. More arrogance bordering on stupidity.Was looking to save players legs and may have to play an extra 2 games at full tilt because of it.

The player at Wolves was playing wingback and very good on the ball. He’s still very good on the ball and would improve i agree with match sharpness. Anytime he’s been asked to defend like against the Saudi’s in the cwc he’s looked very poor. I’m really not sure why on earth with how we play...

Not sure where these good performances were to start with. Shocking against the Saudi team, not convincing against a terrible Wolves side, injured early against Spurs and looked shite at Brighton. He’s got no recovery pace and looks awful as an actual defender. Good on the ball when he finally...

The Spurs game was alarming for me but i thought it was probably a one off. It was either 0-0 or 0-1 and Spurs were wide open. He had one of the simplest passes on you’ll see to play Marmoush clean through. He just held on to it for ages before hitting a shite shot himself. Reijnders that is not...

Certainly been a big shock to me. His touch is staggeringly poor for the amount of money we paid. When you look at his record he’d been very average before that breakout half season in a fairly average league. I do think if he played regularly he’d contribute a decent amount of goals but you’d...

Yeah, can’t argue with that. Also aside from last night i’ve been enjoying watching us again over the last few weeks. As you say nothing lasts forever but i suppose the one gripe is we’ve still spent a lot of money and most of those playing last night look nowhere near the level we should be...

Disagree about the football. Last few weeks it’s been much better to watch and quicker. We were too open at Newcastle and that’s probably on Pep for not changing it during the game. We still played some decent stuff at times in a tough away game and created plenty. Last night was no surprise...

Don’t know how Messi, Ronaldo and countless others managed it week in week out for 15 years

That’s true, but you’d expect someone even not match fit to look like they can do the basics of defending. His body position looks all wrong anytime he’s asked to defend. He seriously lacks pace too and that’s not going to change anytime

Due to that selection they might end up having to play an extra 2 games in a play off. Win the game then take them off! Would have been better starting strong and subbing if we were 2/3 up. If he’s was that arsed about games coming up he could have just played all stiffs in Madrid. Instead he’ll...
