Takes balls to not put Yaya in the squad at all for 3 games in a row. Love Pellers but this is what I really wanted to see in a manager. Take players who work their asses off and have 0 passengers.

Sounds like Yaya is finished. Saw a marked improvement during pre-season from him but it would seem his legs just won't give him the intensity Pep demands. Shame, think he still could of been key for us this season if he could get to the required levels.

Any links to full presser? 30 odd minutes I believe.

Cheers Kags.
Look forward to Part 2 later.

Slightly off topic, but during his press conference did Pep say Gael & Kelechi are signing new deals?
I know Iheanacho has, just wondered weather I was hearing things regards Clichy.

 

[yeah whatever !!]

It'd be a bonus if Shaqiri was ruled out. He was excellent against us last season.

He ripped us a new one in all honesty..

Long time picking up his money doing fuck all then.

Cool, let him do that whilst the team that Pep puts out does us all proud.

Can't wait for the game. Our first real test. I'm sure from week to week, from training session to training session, we will witness improvement everywhere.

Pretty confident we will win tomorrow!
