A
God only knows but he is as good as finished. If he was playing great when he was fit we'd all be gutted but he rarely does. It's sad but the sooner his contract is up the better.
At this stage he must be staring early retirement in the face. I wonder how the insurance framework operates in relation to this?
 
The minute we sell him,all his injuries will vanish,he'll ditch his social media 'commitments',and he'll turn into the 50m defender we thought we were signing.

What social media commitments? WTF are you talking about?

He's no more active on social media than any other player in the squad, why the fuck are people trying to push this lie that he can't be a professional and use social media?

The lad picked up an injury in the first year and tried to support the team as best he could, yes, on social media when he was off doing rehab in Barcelona. Pep singled that, and his whole demeanor off the pitch out as being massively important to the squad harmony, and bringing them together as a successful team in 2017/18, but for some reason a subset of our fans have decided that you can't recover from an injury if you're tweet a few times during a game you can't play in and have never stopped abusing him for wishing his teammates well.

Chill the fuck out you,no need for the aggression.

Yes,maybe that word was unfair,but has definitely been more active than most and he has also gained a reputation as a party boy - its not unjustified to suggest his eye hasn't always been on the ball.
 
If pep wants to continue with 3-4-3 hope he plays laporte as left wide Cb rather than garcia and returns cancelo to the right and use foden on the left for width.
If ake is also back then a back 3 of dias,laporte and ake with midfield of foden,rodri,silva/gundogan and cancelo would be good.
 
We have to up our game though mate to get the victory, we just don't know what to expect at this moment in time. Has to be a ten fold improvement than the first half on weds night, if not West Ham will punish us.
We played poorly but still beat a better team than West Ham 3 1. Not counting my chickens but think we’ll be ok
 
To those predicting a 5-0 thrashing I respectfully suggest you watch their second half showing at Tottenham. It will be a tough battle and frankly only Walker seems to have the balls for a fight these days.
So a few penalties then?
 
prediction:

Ederson
Walker Dias Laporte cancelo
Foden Rodri bernardo
Mahrez aguero sterling
 
I'd like to see Torres given a go on the left and sterling right. Give us back a little of that directness we've missed.

I fear it could be another flat performance; early kick off, no atmosphere and we're nowhere near our best yet
Just get the win
 
Ederson
Walker Dias Laporte Zinchenko
Gundogan
Debruyne Foden
Torres Aguero Sterling
 
Ederson, Walker, Dias, Laporte, Cancelo, Gundogan, De Bruyne, Foden, Torres, Aguero, Sterling

Then I'd guess we'll bring Rodri, Bernardo, and Mahrez back in for Marseille.

You might be right but that's because his next club will probably be in Italy. Practically a retirement home for Premier League players

No atmosphere?
