PL & CL Squads (updated: Toure omitted from CL squad)

Erm except for Bayern, 3 semi final losses in a row

So winning titles and cups 3 years running and getting to 3 c/l semi finals is some kind of failure ? Can't wait for us failing like that.

So Yaya is dropped. Finally, a manager who doesn't massage the egos of the players or their agents. Well done, Pep.

I didn't say it was failure, I said they didn't win the CL. We reached the semi final also.. No doubt Pep's way is a fantastic way, but like any change, it will take time to bed in, however good he is. Having different options in a squad is always better than not.

No that tweet was about the PL squad and not the CL,i learnt something today:)

Yeah, so did I.... Eufa are a bunch of overpaid pampered tw*ts with nothing better to do than continually make up totally incomprehensible sh*te, as a result of being permanently on the p*ss :-)

He doesn't want options he want it done his way, with 11 players all pulling one way, and as his way has always worked, and his record is second to none, until it doesn't then he has to be backed. It would be like selecting Mo Farrer for the Olympics and then saying those training methods and tactics you have always used are great, but we'd rather you did it this other way so we don't upset some of our other runners.
Anybody can think he may be mistaken, but we should all accept he probably won't be. Hands up everybody that thought Kolarov should/would stay ?

If you're going down that road, Fernando is a lot worse than Delph, in my book

I disagree, but that's a whole other argument.

Kelchi could have been put on the B-List and Yaya put in his place. He wasn't. A point made to Yaya I think.

Kelechi doesn't qualify for the B list until January this year. (my understanding of the situation anyway)

Yaya being out shows you can't have your cake and eat it

You get the feeling that Yaya might be reconsidering his options as January approaches, i can see him hardly kicking a ball for us again.
