They won't give any time to us. All the talk will be about Man City's crucial demolition of Watford.

With our squad, might still be no matter the manager

Get in. So Man City are pretty good.

Loved his anger. Looked like he was in the ring cursing about punches below the belt.

Second cup of coffee in California. I'll add a shot of Fernet to make it festive.

Man City win and we're three points ( + goals difference) from safety. Six points (+ goal difference) from 11th. Stay positive.

Well, yeah. They were definitely targeting Ritchie. With ASM MIA, it's only natural. Still, I think it was Manquillo who lost his head a couple of times.

Not great. I'm not complaining.

Is there a site that shows -- game by game -- average position for a player? I keep getting the impression that he's a midfielder now.

Positives: Win Clean sheet Lewis, Manquillo, Almiron start (finding our best 11) No card for Wilson... onward to Leceister

And Burnley keep bringing on cloggers who haven't scored or even played in ages...

Always a few worse than them.

And the falling over starts...

No changes?

No.

Sort it out Eddie.

Thought so.

Oh, my stream is way behind.

Two game threads?

Delighted about the Almiron start. Show ys what you can do!

ASM Wilson Joelinton Willock Hayden Shelvey Lewis Fernandez Schar Manquillo Dubravka Both Joelinton and Schar look like they want be midfielders.

Or Schar for that matter. Every game he goes down with what I am sure is a season-ending injury.

If we're looking to press high up pitch, Lingard would be a n excellent addition. Superior to anything we have and really shouldn't be mentioned in the same breath as Butt or Willock.

Forgot all about him.
