I take it you're one of them that thinks we should play THESE players every single game then?

I agree. Stones had every right to go for the ball. For me, not a red.Still not changed my opinion on the John Stones red. It was a joke decision. I said it at the time, and I couldn’t believe the overwhelming majority on here felt it was a red. He didn’t go in aggressively, he just tried to kick the ball high and long and the other guy got there first. That’s it. Yellow all day but a red is absurd. You know it’s a wrong decision when not only Pep but Dean Smith says the exact same thing. He doesn’t even say something like “I can understand it, but...” he just flat out says he thinks it was wrong. And it was.
I believe whoever's in that VAR room calling the shots saw it looked like dangerous contact and his mind went straight to red card, ignoring the context.

Okay bar the red card for stones (which it was) I thought it was a great game. The way we took control after going a goal down early was great to see

Not sure I agree I think he was caught out of position and arrived too late and at speed to effect a legitimate challenge. While in another day he might of got away with a yellow he slipped into the red zone and can't really have to many complain'ts. Might be worth an appeal but I don't see it being overturned.Still not changed my opinion on the John Stones red. It was a joke decision.

wont be a popular comparison but i know what you mean lol .Foden’s football style reminds me of Giggs rather than Iniesta.

I was worried last night. We have not been great (except for the cl) for a month or so and the early goal had me concerned. But we played some of the best football this season and strangled the life out of them until the sending off and then controlled the game fully in the second half. I do think we are missing a scorer, not a centre forward but someone who will be able to bag a goal. Gabby is doing too much work outside the box at the moment, working his socks off but not offering a threat. No idea how we can change this but I am not confident that in “bigger” games we will be able to produce the chances that the overall play deserves, it’s a tricky one as the team plays great football but is not scoring enough, by playing a cf we may lose some of the control and therefore the football may suffer. Glad I am not a manager!
