I'm sure if you replied to certain posters with "fuck off you nob" when you didn't know them very well, in a pub, you'd be dealing with a great deal worse than a slight reprimand from a mod.

Whilst I'm getting over it have a read of the line below:
  • Please treat the moderators with respect, and don't derail threads by questioning their decisions. Any issues with moderation should be brought to Ric rather than aired publicly.
Like it says if you have any issues with what I've said then contact Ric, it looks like whilst you're on this forum and not in a pub, work or at the game, you're the one that needs to "get over it"

I'm not sure why I'm giving him the time of day to be honest, others wouldn't, but the Arsenal game is shit which is giving me time to browse the forum.

An impressive list, so good that it's a shame not to add this forum to your honours, come back in a couple of days when you can show some respect.
 
Caballero
Navas
Kompany
Stones
Clichy
Fernandinho (Get Yaya on at some point)
Silva
KDB
Sterling
Agüero
Sané
Even if Arsenal win tonight they'll be low on belief and I don't think the fans will fancy their chances, given that we could've got Spurs or Chelsea, we have to make the most of this opportunity. If we play the game like the first half at the Emirates and the second at the Etihad with Kompany to sure up the defense, they won't be able to deal with us and we can stop the sort of silly goals that let them back into the last game. I'd go attacking and go for that early goal and if we have them on the ropes like last time, finish them off as far as I'm concerned, we are a far better team.
 
Hate to let the facts get in the way of popular, misguided opinion, but Chile have won the last two Copa America’s (both after penalty shoot outs in the Final)

But apparently Bravo might be too nervous

Then why is Bravo playing again? Seems Pep is having a hard time seeing what you all are seeing.

Most likely feels he has to justify bringing him in as number 1 then seeing he wasn't up to it,let's just say are chances shorten of winning with him in the team a goalkeeper should be able to do what he's there for stop shots bravo has let in apparently the last seven shots he has faced a shocking stat,not gonna get into a slagging match over him I prefer caballero in goal to him,end of..

Never in a million years would Pep play a player because of this. Just no.

IMO now that Pep has sorted the defense to a certain extent (i.e. we no longer are regularly creating point blank chances for the opposition) he has put Bravo back in because he is by far the superior keeper for Peps system when Pep has it working correctly. We aren't there yet but we are much closer than we were 2 months ago.

The seven shots you are referring to...Willy may have saved one of them. Neuer probably would have saved 1 of them.

Goals per shots on target are not a fair stat for any keeper that has played behind our defense this season.

Willy will start. Also, pretty sure Vincent will be saved for the Derby, so I think this depends on whether Jesus is on the bench and fit enough to come on for the last 15 mins or not. If he's available we win if not it's 50/50 - especially with the general standard of refereeing decisions we have suffered from this season.

If he's only fit enough for the last 15 mins then he wont be on the bench. If he's only fit enough for the last 15 mins then surely he's an injury risk? The other problem is that you have to add 30 mins on to the time that he can play, eg if the intention is to bring him on for the last 15 mins then he has to be fit to play 45 mins. Presumably he would only be used if the score is close which would mean that extra time would be a distinct possibilty.

Cant see him playing before Boro at the earliest.
 
Jesus has a long way to go.

He may be ready for 25 mins v Brom,45 v Wat & the bench if we get to FACF.

Absolutely no point in rushing him. The metatarsal is a very tricky bone to fuse & heal.
