Just another lazy game from #47

 

[balotelli's back pocket]

So is the pecking order for LW currently Savinho, Doku then Grealish?

It's the same team that won last week. I think it's pretty pointless trying to read into things much more than that.

What is the obsession with McAtee ? He is young and has plenty of time , we also need points badly and so we are not going to throw in a kid and hoping he can work miracles

He’s hardly a kid.

Wouldn’t describe it as an obsession either, just thought he’d done enough when you consider Phil stank the place out at Leicester.

Just an opinion, like everyone else here. No biggie!

Not giving Mcatee a start is fucking mental.

If I’m him I’m fucking City off in January.

Another Palmer situation.

That's 5 players missing from the full squad, 1 is a keeper and 1 is a kid with not much more than 10 minutes under his belt. It's nothing out of the ordinary, west ham themselves have more unavailable than us so injuries are no excuse. That should be a very comfortable routine win.

Foden can consider himself fortunate, doesn't deserve to start after last weeks pathetic showing, expect a performance from him today.

There's no need to act like Mcatee has been hard done by, he had a 20 minute cameo. Nunes was voted player of the month 2 month back and found himself dropped from the 11 immediately after winning, that's a legitimate reason to feel hard done by. Mcatee might get minutes from the bench today and if he does, he needs to show up again. He'll play against Salford next week, he'll get yhe chance to make an impression.

Careful mate I said I was surprised and have been crucified for it! :)

The people on Fodens back before we have even kicked off really do need to get a grip , embarrassing .

Picked up a knock in training

Picked up a knock in training

An actual knock or a made up Grealish / Ederson knock?

 

[Vester]

Considering our awful form I certainly think it's the right call to not change a team that finally got a win. But the performance need to improve.
