He does have a positive side to his game: distribution and kicking, it was light years ahead of Tim Can we not try and make a "dolly" from their genes? Then impregnate Hope Solo and we would have the perfect goalie!!

that macity team looks pretty formidable up front!

Please be injured, him and silva are the big influencers (& aguero of course)... This will help us immensely

Was it the one encased within your thumb? Or your proper heed?? Since we're all on a pedantry trip...

If silva and toure are both still out then we have a decent chance to get something here...

I miss him so much! A luxury player as they are called, but god... what a luxury to be carrying around!

Agree 100%

Only negative for mclaren was that he brought his subs on too late, we needed freshening after 60 but he obviously didn't see that until we were well under the cosh. We just need that pressure on them when they brought the bak out, it was too easy for their defense to stroll into our half and pick their passes as Mitro and Ayoze were walking by then...

We were playing a narrow 4411 system all game with overlapping fullbacks and one of jack or anita sitting when the fullbacks went forward. Ayoze had complete freedom of the pitch whilst attacking but dropped and defended really quickly when we lost the ball which leads people to think it was 4231. Much more effective in this formation, the main contributing factor is that we had a number nine who could hold the bal up and play it to our oncoming players, mitro was immense in his battle against two defenders everytime he got the ball, he didn't lose many either.

Very impressed by him, he actually defends really well aswell. Would be nice if he was consistent, hopes are high but a bad game could knock him...

Ayoze in the first half made a lot of tackles and interceptions but in the last 30 he was nowhere to be seen, a substitution and ovation was begged for tbh...

I think we ran out of legs after our second goal, couple that with the mindset to play a bit more cautiously and you are instantly deeper in your own half and defending in a panicked fashion rather than playing your own game. Thought Mcclaren was to blame as the subs came on too late. Although Ayoze played well, he ran out of steam after 60 mins and so did Mitro shortly after, should have both been off earlier...

Loved it when he flattened Cahil early on.

Having a good game today, is really up fr it. Plaudits when they are due!!

both Colback and anita are having a good game, I don't think jack has played a bad pas and they are mostly positive

Very good showing, pedro hasn't really ahd a sniff. Whole defence is great but MBEMBA IS IMMENSE!

What an immaculate first half! If Jaanmat had of squared instead of shooting we would have had a perfect first half as mitro was just beside him waiting to stroke home

AYOZE...I LOVE YOU! YOU ARE THE BEST! YOUR MATE MITRO IS MINT! WHAT A DIFFERENCE!

miracle needed to save it today, crowd is so quiet aswell, get behind the lads FFS! really getting on my nerves that we are turning into a library crowd...

very ponderous in possession in the middle, thauvin is only one who is trying to do things but is failing miserably at the moment. Wijnaldum is doing nothing and colback with the ball slows the game down too much. haidara looks scared of the ball, ayoze has been very sloppy. Can't see how we are going to get back into this game at all. Aarons and deJong for Sissoko and colback. Drop wijnaldum back???

Do we know what is wrong with him?

I hope someone has sat this lad down and explained the damage he has done by having to miss three games and leaving us totally exposed up front. If he gets many more cards I am going to explode

He's refreshingly honest, next thing we need is for him to act upon the obvious faults in the team and personnel! If he does half of what we are suggesting this weekend then I'm happy with him.

Nzonzi is probably 60/40 defense/attack minded, the thing is he is decent at both and is big enough to hack it with any midfield. he isn't the most skillfull but he is dominant. Would have him in a heartbeat over the current two midgets.

He's not bad, he's just average and 100% average every game. I think Anita beats him on the popularity stakes here because he has a good game every one in three where he stands out more whereas poor jack is just consistently average every game.
