We could always play a different formation to accommodate a number 10

I don't think he's a central midfielder?

According to wiki he's taller than James Maddison and I've never thought of Maddison as being small

Is 5ft 10in "small"?

Everybody Wirtz

Raya again

Raya at fault

I'm convinced he's absolutely shite yet he's somehow got 8 goals this season

If we want cover for Bruno they need to either be a young player coming through who is happy to sit on the bench and we can ease in or a player who can play all 3 of our centre midfield roles Paulinha for me doesn't fall into either of those categories

I think Swansea are a bit of a basket case to be honest. Cooper did amazingly well to get that squad to the playoffs and had Andre Ayew rolling back the years that season. I imagine he was probably one of the highest paid players that season in the division

I think Tonali might have been that player? I just don't think we need a "destroyer" that a lot are asking for

For those who want us to sign a proper defensive mid, do they still want Bruno to move to one of the other 2 centre mid positions? Because Bruno is so important in our play from being press resistant and controlling the centre of the pitch that I think moving him for a defensive mid wouldn't work. He's not got the leg power to play in the other slightly more advanced centre mid positions consistently and he's brilliant as the deepest lying one. A defensive mid could disrupt that. Or they're sitting on the bench

World Cup winner Varane can't even get a game in front of Jonny Evans, Maguire or Luke Shaw at centre back

Sandro Tonali has been banned for 10 months, including the crunch tie against Aston Villa on January 30th at Villa Park

Still laughing at how weird that first paragraph is It's up there with the "although his name sounds similar he's no relation to Vurnon Anita" line

5 months for such an innocuous dive where the ball didn't even reach him. Cursed this season

He's absolutely sensational isn't he. When he goes on his marauding runs he always makes the right decision to pass or shoot too

Wilder again ffs

Feels like this fixture is always midweek

Had no idea Napoli came out to the Pet Shop Boys

Siem de Jong was pitchside yesterday,presumably commenting on Dutch telly. No one seemed torecognise him at all, poor bloke

No idea how Semenyo wasn't sent off for a second yellow
