Laporte is fantastic. Absolutely fantastic

 

[Marvin]

Lyon have given a lot of effort. I'm hoping they'll blow themselves out.

 

[remember arthur mann]

Taking advantage of our weakness down the right !!

 

[K.Reeves right foot]

How many goals and assists does he have this season in all comps?

Off the top of my head I cant remember Karen, he has a few, but his general play has been poor since he arrived. To be honest, think I could score goals in this team.

 

[cleavers]

I'd put Delph on for Fernandinho before he gets another card, this fella can't wait.

 

[paulsimpson]

Yet to be convinced by Mahrez, just me?

As unconvincing as you think he may be he is the only one who has looked like scoring

 

[Neville Kneville]

Living off our mistakes and hitting us on the break. Doing a Liverpool on us you could say.

A few more mistakes in possession than we're used to at the moment. Cut that out and we'll win.

Liverpool would be 2-3 up v these, by defending & breaking.

We suit them.

 

[Tricky_Trev]

I agree this is the wrong game for Foden.

Delph on for Mahrez and switched with Sterling would be my shout.

It only appears like the wrong game for Foden because not having Foden’s skill set alongside Silva is fucking with our balance. We need a midfielder with control to replace one of our 3 wingers. Foden is a midfielder with control. It IS a game for Foden.

 

[Afterthefact]

Main issue is Silva has no partner in midfield...controlling that space is what sets sane and sterling free in behind. Otherwise we get gummed up and trap the wingers on the side with nowhere to go.

 

[paulchapo]

Of course we're light in midfield we have three injured lol. Does he risk an injury prone Delph when we need him at fullback or throw a kid in when our regulars are getting a chasing?
