Huddersfield (a) Pre-Match Thread

In my opinion, Kompany has to start when ever he can for his leadership qualities alone. OK he may have lost a bit of pace but given the choice between Kompany and Mangala?

Cake or death?

Back to our slick ball movement please. It needs to go forward quicker, otherwise they will just get organised like Feyenoord.

I fully agree with this. We need to quicken up. A couple of games ago we were unplayable with Raz and Leroy scaring teams to death.

What is your opinion of Gabriel Jesus ?.
He really does try hard - closing defenders down. - but do any of you think he over complicates - Yes he scores goals - and maybe it his enthusiasm
that gets him in off side positions. I know he is only 19 or is it 20. - is he as good as some people think?.
Sergio is still some great player and will be forever in my/our memory. Would you play him on Sunday.?
I do think we will win Sunday - quite easily - if we click on all cylinders.

Kompany should play every other game. Plays V Huddersfield, West Ham, Rags & Spurs. Alternative for games against Southampton, Shaktar, Swansea & Leicester. That will take us up to the Xmas games when hopefully Stones will be back

Like every other player he has faults.
Rest assured that Pep will be working with him to minimise those faults and encourage him to enhance his good points / skills.
He is already racking up good scoring stats in the EPL.
Give the lad time and he will develop into a legend - just like many others of the squad since the takeover.

Vinny will be starting at Huddersfield IMO.

I think that's probably a safe bet.

We are a better team with Jesus included,as he's on the same wavelength as Sane and Sterling.

He'd be my first choice every time,i hope thats the case on Sunday.

I can see the point of playing Mangala ahead of Kompany, We have 3 games in the league before the derby, and Kompany looked rusty but what if his calf goes again, Although Mangala looked ok in the last 2 games but he hasn't got the passing out of defence ability of Stones. Win the next 3 league games and we can park the bus at the Swamp.Now that would be funny just to see Peg lose it.

although we won't and we shouldn't the thought made me smile. It would be a fitting tribute to the genius that is peg to park the bus at his place but an even better tribute would be for us to rip him and his sorry bunch a new one.

Jesus over Sergio every day of the week for me. Doesn't matter if the only time Jesus touches the ball is to tap it into an empty net, his pressing and energy is how we keep the ball away from Mangala or whoever else is back there. He's a big part of our defence. I don't think Jesus is as good as blue moon rates him, no. Not yet. But he's a better option than Sergio in our set up. We are more fluent with Jesus.
