Some of the comments are really pathetic. Back the team ffs!

Nope. Start building a case for why the team will fail, blame the most decorated coach in this team's history for his choices.

I am so glad I don't need to call on some of these lot to have my back as so many would obviously cut and run before the fight even started.

Stones or Ferna right back? Hoping Ferna

playing a 37 year old dm who costs us goals as a cb, who lacks pace and positional awareness is self sabotage.

How’s about he’s the best player to play there out of our Squad available? He’ll probably tuck in as part of a three allowing Joao to bomb on and create chaos……as opposed to sabotage this will free up one of our match winners & win us the league

I see the low post count dickheads have got in early today and piled in here for a warm up ahead of their usual appearance in the matchday thread.

Couple of dippers in

Did you really just say Fernandinho lacks positional awareness - I have some crap on here but I think you take the prize.

did u see west hams first goal who the fuck run out of the defensive line and made an unnecessary challange and then passed the ball to the opposition team to then score 10s later?

 

[come-on-barney]

Back the team FFS!

Glad you’re here supporting

I'm really surprised Walkers not starting. I presume hes fit enough if he's on the bench. We don't want to have to bring him on if some damage has been done, ie 1-2 goals down early on. We all know how City play when it's a panic situation. They try to force it and things don't work out. In the end players get fatigued and their passing accuracy is off, It all becomes a bit panic football.

I can't get my head around why Pep would put Stones RB when Ferna CB was such an abomination last week. Can't even blame the player either as he's older than both Xavi and Iniesta were when they left Barca AND being asked to play out of position.
