Sterling benching isn't a huge surprise..... if he's going to have a night off, this one isn't too bad. Was VERY close to going Digne for Alonso, to accommodate Aubameyang next week but I think I'll just compromise with Alonso & Lacazette. Kane ©, Arnautovic and Wilson with easy home games..... let's do this!

Modric, man. It's like when the PFA award went to Giggs out of pity. If you had to stray from Ronaldo and Messi, at least make it Mbappe.

Apparently it's likely to be Ralph Hasenhuttl :(

Catchy name though

Bad time to play these, they're really starting to look quite decent. I'd go 5-3-2 with Yedlin and Kenedy as wing backs and Shelvey back into midfield. 2-0 Everton, inevitably Walcott.

Looks like the protests will never work, unfortunately. Just have to blindly hope that someone will buy out Ashley - a bloke who isn't pressured to sell.

45 with Alonso, Hazard, Richarlison and Robertson to go. Was lucky that Sterling was vice captain to Aguero, whilst Wilson and Fabianski delivered the goods.

Who will we play then? Anyone, anything.

I'd give a kidney to buy a player that kicks this moron out of the line-up.

A silly defeat, especially considering all that effort we put in for a good goal difference. Expected something from today and we were just completely impotent. I still don't get the point of Ayoze Perez and it'd be nice if we could con somebody into taking him in January.

Most matchgoers don't even bother with the good ideas, never mind this one. As always, getting pissed and catching-up with mates at the match will be the priority.

:rant:

Is this the one produced by Sunderland fans? They'll spin it positively, building them up as this MASSIVE 6-in-a-row behemoth with a devoted fanbase.

Sterling for Salah, Aguero ©. Not sure whether to start Yedlin (v West Ham), Ryan Bennett (v Cardiff) or Callum Wilson (v Man City). Man City are going to break hearts though - can see Sterling or Aguero benched. In fact, might be time to replace Aguero with Kane, as Jesus will surely get starts over Christmas..... after all, it's his time of year.

Get some bubbles, it's time for the transfer bath.

Isn't people turning up slightly late to the match a very normal sight?

I thought the whole world of football was racist and holding back Sol Campbell?

3 wins in a row, up to 13th, with West Ham, Wolves, Huddersfield and Fulham in the next month. Will take that, like

We're in the middle of throwing it away again, mind. Shame because we started so strongly.

Piss poor weekend of results for us, like

I'm thinking about a shake-up tbh. Even though Salah, Alonso and Aguero have technically done quite well, I want Sterling and Kane.

65pts so far, more than double my actual team

They never lose down there, like. So annoying to see them walk to promotion. Although the scenes when they equalised are funny

First bad week in a while - missing out on Mitrovic, Sterling, Kane and Man City's defence. At least got the Salah © call right, although he'll have to go soon because it's insane how he STILL misses out on bonus points.

Been going back and forth all week. If there's ever a time to pick a 'lesser' captain, it's Richarlison at home to Cardiff. Think I'm leaning towards the other two though.
