Kev should have scored, but this ref is making it hard.

Pep has to decide Silva, or KDB

Not necessarily. Don't forget we're playing with an extra central midfielder today when in previous games we've been playing with an extra winger in Nolito. This gives both Kev and Spanish Dave that little bit more room to manoeuvre in the middle.

Is it HT then my steam is no more fucking unwatchable.

The Twitter one is a belter. Some bloke have the link over on the pre match thread.

Pep out!!!!

Not playing very well but still created 2 or 3 chances that we probably should be scoring.

That half was just a number of players not performing how they usually do/can do. Stones misplacing passes, De Bruyne misplacing passes, missing shots, running out of play, Gundogan had a poor half, he was the key player in 4-5 of our most dangerous attacks & each time mis-hit his shot, misplaced his pass or took a bad touch.

Saw enough there to show we can get another few goals if we just sort out the final touch/pass/shot, need to ensure we keep solid at the back as they're playing well to be fair.

A PM for an iPhone stream would be nice :-)

Really good game of football, shame that we've made such a mess of three or four very presentable opportunities.

 

[Gabriel]

Quite a good test, but you can see we have problems when Nolito isn't there to give us the balance. The others want to move so much that it actually becomes a little disruptive, and with Gundogan and Fernandinho almost square, we are susceptible to the counter.

A good test so far, but we need to take those chances when they present.

So sloppy so far. KDB seems to be having one of his games where he cant kick a ball, Sagna looks drunk, Silva poor and Stones passing has been really bad.
