Just out of curiosity..what are your opinions on Paqueta ?
1).. on becoming a Man City player
2)..views on him as a player and character

Cheers

If he scores or plays a part in us losing he can get fucked..

I think we need an offensive player instead of Kovacic for next game

Why? He's played a big part recently and is now in the team. If he's fit, i can't see him not starting.
If it ain't broke...

Not an easy game to call. Kudos, Bowen, Antonio and Paqueta all very dangerous players and their solid defence makes West Ham are a natural counter attacking team. We need to be very careful with our possession and we don't need to concede any corners. I'll feel a lot better with an early goal but wouldn't be surprised if its 0-0 at half time.

FWIW, Pep is a fiend about us giving away free kicks, which is why we are not a team of tacklers. He knows the odds of scoring from a dead ball are already massive BEFORE you line up JWP to take it! Corners, too, although we have a strong record there, too.

The game is there to be won without drama, but it’s not what we do, so every dead ball will be fraught with trepidation from us.

However, do City fans ever consider what other teams think about us, playing us at dead balls? We are feared the world over!

Fine effort towards feeding the dragon...

You have fuck all to worry about...

We're shite and all those players you mention apart from Bowen downed tools weeks back.
Moyes is a chippy jock **** ..and I genuinely hope you embarrass the wanker as a parting gift .

Solid defence? They’ve conceded more goals than every other team in the premier league apart from the bottom three

 

[BringBackSwales]

is kevin 100% out

Is he? His interview after the spurs game he said he was pretty much ok?

 

[BringBackSwales]

Or maybe Jack for Kova to give us a bit more control and Jezza on later to exploit a weakening defence along with Kova to anchor the midfield?

Anyway, I'd never criticise Pep, he's hard to second guess and gets it right so much of the time.

Does anyone think we'd be in this position if we had played in two Champions League semi final legs? I don't, think we would have been out on our feet, one or tother.

Agree about the champions league, completely disagree about Kovacic, he has been excellent and can’t be dropped, that would be madness
