KdB is a wonderful player and if he doesn’t play Saturday that will be a blow for you. Having said that and based admittedly on early days, I don’t think you have adequately replaced Kompany or Silva.

Think we have with Dias, and if fit think Bernardo Silva is better than David Silva was for a lot of last season.

A bit unfair to judge Silva on his last season. In his pomp, he was, in my view, a better player than Bernardo.

Well obviously but to compare this season to last then we are talking about David Silva last season. He was actually at his best after the restart when he’d had a good long break.

I hope it's nothing but you could see Kev talking to Martinez for a few minutes and he put his hands together then pulled them apart as if he was describing how something had pulled, then he intertwined his hands as if something wasn't moving smoothly? Fingers crossed it's not significant. He needs a scan and rest.

Martinez is a complete idiot , he should have been straight off, he flogs him like a dog to keep his win % up

Replacing Kompany and Silva are almost impossible jobs - probably 2 of the best players in their respective positions the premiership has ever seen and Kompany's leadership you just cant buy either.

Dias looks a good buy and will certainly improve us
Foden is an exiting prospect but replacing David Silva is almost impossible - he does bring something a litte different to Silva with his goal threat and the way he drives forward with the ball - he has a lot to learn but is an excellent player

Our problems is lack of balance and defensive cover in midfield and an atrocious left back that struggles against even average players. If I was Arteta id tell Aubamayang to play on Mendy side and run at him at every opportunity and just wait for the mistake that will inevitably come..or play in the space that he leaves behind him when he moves forward and then cant get back

The new lad you have bought in midield is exactly the type of player I think we need for our DM position. Ferna at his height again is irreplaceable and while Rodri is a good player he is a level below -
If Gundogan plays you will run over our midfield without even trying - just wait on intercepting of one of the many 1000 sideways passes that Gundogan makes or press him with intensity and he will fall apart.

If Arteta plays compact and hits us on the break you will cause us problems...if he opens up and plays attacking football it could be a high scoring match
