I see the rags are out in full force right now.

Kin hell Bernardo....hit it first time.

Tosin needs to improve a fair bit over the next year or so if he's to make it. As does Mangala but in less time.

Mangala? Have you just returned from a time travel machine which left three years ago?

 

[BigOscar]

Pleased with how Foden is playing, he clearly can't play LB and is relying on Mango doing the job for him in the most part, but he's been very good on the ball

 

[mccity]

Better

 

[Don Karleone]

Started better

 

[vin]

Sane injured?

@tolmie's hairdoo Are you really going on about how poor you think Ederson is?

Trying to put words in my mouth a little bit there, mate.

He's a wonderful prospect with feet only matched by Neuer.

My point being, for such a big guy he seems jittery at point-blank efforts and had dropped quite a few in recent games, before snaffling the rebound.

Again, I would like to see him take the pressure off our zonal marking at set pieces by coming more for crosses.

Sane is clearly a great talent but again, there is plenty to work on, including when he needs to keep it simple.

Cant see why people are fussing we are playing against a very good team .we have put out a makeshift team .It is ovious we have not the quality in depth that we would like to have .but this is giving fringe players a chance for years people have been screaming for the youngsters to have a chance .We would be going bonkers if we had put the first team out so soon before we play the rags .we aint been firing on all cylinders lately with a strong team so it is hardly suprising it is going as bad as it is .It up to the players now to show how good they really are .Big pity Foden being played out wide

This 'makeshift team' cost about 200 million and if we have no 'quality in depth' then we must be really shit in acquisitions.

I like the look of Foden. Plays his balls first time
