It’s more Lewis I’m frustrated about. He’ll be targeted and rightly so, poor defender and not good enough all round. In my opinion anyway.

He asks for the ball in risky areas when he hasn’t got the strength or control to keep it. Hope I’m proved wrong but he and Walker being in the side worries me.

Feel like sticking pins in my eyes every time he picks Walker just fucking why can he not see it he's a disaster waiting to happen

Give over.

I forgot to say, in Pep I trust. He knows what he is doing. :-)

Hard one to call. I think deep down Pep knows this ageing and injury hit squad can't do another title slog. That leaves the champions league and fa cup. I'm not sure we are good enough to win the champions league but who knows, stay in it, get everybody back fit and it's possible. We have to stay in the top four too. Personally I will be surprised if we win anything this season but I'm a bloody pessimistic glass half empty old time Blue lol. Again I'd be delighted to be completely wrong.

I agree. CL you never know. Depends if we sign anyone and they bed in quickly. FA cup - can’t say I’m that fussed either way on that one and we almost always get to the semi final so probably a chance in that and in the league it’s top 4 which is a lot easier to do with 24 games left. Once we get Kovacic back and make a signing or two I’m sure we will do a bit better. Until then, it will be hit and miss and can see us dropping more points over the next 5/6 games.

I can`t understand some of the negativity as I`m certain some of you have forgotten we have a big mid week game in the CL.

 

[clarion]

Two of our best players the other night, and he drops them.

I remember similar stuff when Mancini dropped Dzeko after scoring 4 goals away at Spurs.

 

[ShaunMCFC]

Let’s fucking go, 3-1 City

 

[bluethai]

A similar lineup that led to consecutive poor results just a few weeks ago, well, hopefully, it will deliver a different outcome today then!

 

[cookster]

Lewis being scapegoated again I see.

Imagine if we had lost our last game
