OK, I admit it. It's all my fault, I had a bet on Palace, I was so ashamed I couldn't even take it to the counter I tried to use the machine in the bookies. It's the first time I have ever bet against City but I had this unbelievably strong feeling and saw they were 20/1...I am so sorry. I feel sick.

Ban him ^^^

Playing Stones at DM for the entire first half, when it was clear against Leicester that he can’t play there is quite poor from Pep. If he doesn’t change it at half time i’ll be fuming. That change is essential to get back into this. But it was clear in the first 5-10 mins that it wasn’t going to work.

Kev & Serg have to come on. Stones either needs to drop back and Otamendi comes off or he himself comes off he's absolutely useless in DM.

Not a great first half but we also aren’t playing that badly. It’s just the wondergoal and the lack of our normal fluidity that has lead to this.

John looks so tentative on the ball and is trying too much, as well.

I think we need to take off Nico, drop John in to CB, and bring on Kev. That would improve us substantially.

I still believe we'll win this, but I'm worried how we can't keep clean sheets at the moment.

8 straight games in all competitions without one. Not a good sign

 

[Dr Jacoby]

Are we allowed to sub a player without anyone coming on?

Our fans were still writing Liverpool off as threats yesterday.. becoming exactly what we hated about United

Yup, I hate the arrogance that's creeping into the fanbase. It's not our identity.
