It's Quiet thread 14 - 'do one' edition

Of course he was furious - who likes being hooked? I suggest you go back and look at the Match Thread around the time of the substitution. It's not a perfect barometer as there is a lot of hyper-ventilating there, but it reflects the general sentiment of the game and the vast majority of folks were bellowing for Fernandinho to be taken off. Leicester's goals came from schoolboy defending by our back 4. Which one of those would Fernandinho have prevented?

In fairness if we took off everyone that folk on the match day thread demanded taking off every week -win or lose - we’d be left with just Ederson

There's some truth in that, but if you filter out the extreme hyperbole, you do get a sense for the way the game is going. If you prefer, watch the game back and Fernandinho was having less and less influence on things from around the 20th minute or so. He was mostly a onlooker by the time he was hooked.

How can we not go for Telles? 20m is nothing. He is quality.

All about opinions, Jesus great back up, but to me not good enough to be a long term Kun replacement.

That’s a complete different debate

He is not as good as people are making out to be. Especially not defensively, not our needs. Need a more all rounded full back like Tagliafico or Alaba or someone.

It's hard to filter out 90% haha. In all honesty I was convinced it was the right decision - I was wrong like most others

Because it is not all about money and this is not fifa

No deal with one day to go... its clear to everyone we needed a LB and a CM (like Gundogun) who can dictate play from mid field.

What are you basing this on?

Well, the positive is, Aké did not seem that bad a full back. And Gündogan will be fit again, post this break. No point in hoping with a day to go yeah.

I wonder if they see an injury issue with left back again, whether they'll look at someone within the league, because Prem and EFL can do business till 16th.
