Porto (h) post-match thread

[Neville Kneville]

So mate you're wrong, Barcelona want him

I'm just imagining a neutral & his son in the crowd: "Young lad playing tonight, who Barca are desperate to sign"

"When's he coming on Dad ? "

Their record as far as recruitment of late doesn't say a whole lot though?

Plus they’re currently absolutely shite and Madrid aren’t much better

 

[Cityinmud]

Maybe we’ll look for a Ferna replacement in the January window. What kind of injury did he get?

 

[ami]

Well what do you know...

I've had trumps more dynamic than Rodri and Gundogan.

The drop off when Kev is out is frightening.

Bloody good result that.

It's far too simplistic to put this on Kev being injured, we have put in similar performances with him starting.

Tonight we had a not match fit Aguero and Gundogan, a third choice left back and centre back and the fact that the squad has had no pre-season.

We just need to make it through the next 2-3 weeks when some players should be back from injury and the rest should be much closer to their usual level.

 

[Neville Kneville]

He won't be match fit for ages when he comes back.

 

[lancs blue]

Just don’t see Cancelo being good enough. Garcia who wants to lave shouldn’t be starting for me.

It may be part of the Messi deal in January, keep Garcia match fit. ;-)

 

[twosips]

Garcia reads the game so well

Does he actually though? Couple of times tonight he was chasing shadows with runners in behind him.

 

[HelloCity]

I reckon Ake could have managed an hour from the start, Cancelo simply cannot defend on that side, we've seen it time and again.

Ake is injured.

Oh dear . Looks like this is last season for pep

Edit: was being sarcastic here. But fans are going to take this well. Lol
