Feel free to merge with the post match thread. I just thought I'd be bold and try'n have my own thread :) Ratings based on 5 being average Ederson - 7/10 Very good. Mentally and physically sharp. Rushing out, he's the best I've seen. Distribution was on point all game. Proved solid when...

Kin ell, mossideblue is itchin to go a round here haha EDIT: Pellers is just trying to see how cold he can stand it. I imagine that after weather in Manchester, he feels he could do a stint in The Arctic Circle

Don't believe you, mate. You overplayed that post with the highlighted bit. Pretty sure you'll expose yourself in due time. However, if I'm wrong about you, then my apologies. I'll have to keep an eye out.

Bang on. Not sure how folk have managed to go around in circles for this long around Pellers' chivalrous statement... but surely this wraps it up.

I agree with the sentiment regarding tactics and thinking out of the box. But you're right; Toure and Silva as pivotes flies right in the face of conventional wisdom. And it certainly isn't the Pep in you that came up with such a flimsy midfield centre (I know that's not what you meant by 'Pep...

Fair play. There is no evidence to say PSG will be able to hold onto world class talent for their entire careers. and you're not wrong, Ligue 1 is shite. But the game is changing and PSG are here to stay. Plus they're a better side than us at the moment. I think that you'll be proved wrong...

Ha! This is a scarily accurate summary of how my mind has been working this last few years.

Don't be ridiculous. He signed for the VIP access to the virtual reality pods that let you pretend Bill Shankley is still in charge. By signing for us, he threw away all those historic replica medals he had... and the rest. Kids these days don't know they're born.

To be honest, I didn't even notice there was a specific tactical issue here. Not saying you guys are wrong. I always seem to favour whichever of our LBs are in a run of good games. They offer different skill sets but are close in overall ability, I think, so it's difficult to say who is...

Psst... mate... You're living in the past. Football in Paris is not the same anymore

I refuse to believe this is serious. Dax, could you possibly reassure me that you're having me on. If - by some weird chance - you are being genuine (you can't be, surely) then what exactly do you envision with a midfield like that? How the fook would that work against competent opposition...

Have a good one Your Eminence <salute>

Great stuff last night. And thank fuck no fans got hospitalised. Pellers correctly identified the heart of their team, their no.6 (or in this case, no.17) and got the lads to do a job on him. Dude didn't get a chance to turn and face us with the ball all 1st half, and this completely...

Some great performances to pick from. I'm struggling between Sterling, Fernandinho and Silva..... Gotta be Magic Dave. But I wouldn't be mad at anyone disagreeing. Special mention for Fernando, who was instrumental in our 'earning the right to play,' and it resulted in our best football for...

Scar for life with those bastards. Scarf or... I'll get me coat

I envision some nice systems when I see our players in this formation. But most of them conjure something Sacchi-esque and that's not a direction we will ever go in. I think this could work though, and it could make some nice looking football against inferior opposition, and even spark some...

I don't forsee Willy being the sole 'win or lose factor' but I hope to fuck we drop him for the final. Ihate being this way too, because I want to show him loyalty. After all, he has served my club and I hate being a hypocrite.... ...but ffs drop the bastard. My ticker can't take much more...

Great video. Its nice to see how things are going elsewhere in the City World. The bloody culture is so vast now that I forget just how intense can be outside of Manchester. One thing I'm hoping for, in the future (and don't call me naive, I know there is only like 1% chance of this...

Zone 14 is the central area in front of the 18 yard box. I just used that term so it was clear which parts of the halfspaces I was referring to. I'm not saying he is a good player. But his main strength is being an effective deterrent from central play. But because he is pretty shit, that...

The thing I am most looking forward to is the innate domination that comes with the foundations of his football style. It will be interesting to see how his vision of football translates once it's been through the filter of our current squad and the league climate. Potechino (spelling?) is...
