If we don't win this then some rockets need firing up the players arses, and maybe Pep's depending on how he performs

Balotelli tried that and nearly burned down his bedroom

Agree with the last bit....

Pep seems stubborn on a number of points:
His insistance of using the double defendsive midfielders - it has weakened us attacking wise - I could have understood it last year when the bak four was weaker - but we seem to have sorted it.

If Aguero is fit he needs to play - Im not sure why he wasnt on the bench today unless he had some sort of reactio to playing that 15 mins or so midweek - but havent heard anything about that

Zinchenko and Garcia have no place in our starting 11 - them two missing is irrelevant

Pep needs to return to playing more attacking football. Dias and the return to ofrm of Stones should encourage him to do that.

Sergio was ill.

Bored of it all after that pathetic showing yesterday. What does it matter if we flat track bully this shower 10-0? We don't turn up against the better sides in the league. I'll no doubt watch it but won't take anything from it, even if we win and win by a large margin.

Yeah,looks decent that.

Definitely play Mahrez he loves tormenting relegation fodder , we miss 90% of our chances so also expect around 80% possession, 30 shots and around three to four goals and another clean sheet, pick any eleven from our 25 man squad we will still win this comfortably.

Give Delap a chance, can't be any worse than Jesus, a number 9 who offers not much else than he runs around a lot

 

[Damanino]

Jesus from left, Sterling from right, Delap upfront. We never gonna see this but could offer so much more than Sterling from left, and Mahrez from right which is pretty much found out by most teams by now.

Pep is scared to put Mahrez left, Sterling right.

I suggest you watch a bit more of both.

I just want to try it. Giving Kyle and Plodri a rest as it's West Brom.

I've seen enough of Jesus to know I'd rather have any of about 7 or 8 other strikers in the prem than him

That's an entirely different discussion though,and you clearly haven't seen enough of young Liam.

Whatever your opinions on Jesus' ability,the evidence,including some crucial history making moments,suggests very different.
