[Luke The Blue]

Honestly I've been holding back from saying this for ages but Dias isn't all that.

 

[gray740]

Commentary were gutted

 

[Blue_Lightsaber]

Holy crap.. OFFSIDE saves us!

 

[Chak19]

Dias is utter shite, the fact Pep never gives Khus a chance makes me sick.

 

[BlueMonkey79]

Just defend 5 yards deeper. It's not hard!!

 

[Millennium]

It is so easy to pass our defence

 

[city2]

Camel juice

Is that wio out there

 

[wolviedinho]

Get Foden and cherki on.

Wingers look tired

 

[super_city_si]

Get Walter on for Savinho

 

[Muttley59]

defence is soli now Akanjis on

 

[SamBlue]

Pep needs to do something about this ultra high line unless he find defenders running bellow 11 sec on grass, just not viable.

 

[jimharri]

Startling, the drop off in Ruben's form in the last 18 months. There was 2 or 3 seasons there when, in partnership with Stones he was imperious. Not any more.

 

[Earlyriser]

Our new full-back is having a nightmare

 

[King Jay]

Get Walter on for Savinho

With akanji as our RB?

 

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

Good post count for a 3am match day thread.

 

[WallyA]

Ait Nouri and Doku aren't interchanging as much as earlier games.

It looks strictly Doku wide and Ait Nouri inverting, like to see that switch up a bit.

 

[noseve]

First look at Ait-Nouri's defensive qualities. He's looking lost at the moment

On that penalty that wasn't he was drawn towards the guy on the ball 20 yards away , ignoring the runner.

 

[Legal Alien]

Ait-nouri has got to learn to defend, fast.

We need at least three defenders.
I can't see Ait-Nouri and Nunes both playing in the big PL & CL games, we're too wide open.

 

[super_city_si]

Dias has 60 yards of open pitch behind him. Recipe for disaster

 

[pudge]

How much did we get for Savinho when we sold him to Al Hilal?
