That first half we played against Forest was the best we played for sometime, unfortunately Rodri got sent off and we lost the next three games he was suspended, so I’m expecting a fully rested Rodri masterclass.
You always seem to have a good team on paper. Leaving Alvarez out must've been difficult.Ederson
Walker
Stones
Dias
Gvardiol
Rodri
Nunes
Bernardo
Foden
Grealish
Haaland
Ederson
Walker
Akanji
Stones
Gvaridol
Rodri
Bernardo
Nunes
Doku
Alvarez
Haaland
I think we'll get back on track on Saturday, Brighton are a very good side and it will be a tough game although I think we will have too much for them. Hopefully it's the same Brighton that turned up against Aston Villa a few weeks back!
They've conceded alot of goals in their previous games so hopefully it's a chance to fill our boots and Haaland bags a few.
I've said a few weeks ago I reckon Dias needs to be left out of the starting line up, He's a shadow of himself so far this season he looks way off his usual high standards.Ruben?
Until the recent defeats we were on a 6 game unbeaten run and only shipped in 3. Problem might be he's having to cope with a new partner every week. Looking forward to seeing him and Johnny back.I've said a few weeks ago I reckon Dias needs to be left out of the starting line up, He's a shadow of himself so far this season he looks way off his usual high standards.
Constantly giving the ball away, Playing players onside ect he just doesn't look himself this season.ill the 2 defeats we only shipped 3 goals. Diaz is a leader
Whilst the stats do show with Rodri out we lost games. What we cannot say, is had he played those games, we would have won.Expect much more cuntery displayed by the likes of fucking no narks like Gibbs White on Rodri. I have no doubt it was deliberate bating. You can bet every team will try and get a nibble out of him now he's shown some weakness in attitude.
Our achilles heel has been well and truly revealed, as most if us knew beforehand or at least suspected. Now there can be no doubt. 3 games without him, 3 defeats.
Its difficult to get anyone to do his role as he's so fucking good at it. Calvin's clearly not the answer and neither is Kovacic. At least he's had a nice rest period with a couple of internationals to keep him match sharp. Peps going to have to work some magic with a sprinkle of stardust on someone next time he's unavailable.
Next few games are pivotal to our season to stay right up there and be poised to strike out when we eventually hit our straps. We need a return to winning ways and right now.
