We played shit last week and consistently gave the ball away needlessly, we didn't play shit this week and were very incisive. Due to the quality of players we have the season will probably be a mixed bag of those 2 extremes and whatever lies between - as last season was. Changing to 4-4-2 won't do anything.

Cannot believe a bloke being payed money to give his opinions on football is suggesting we should play Christian Atsu up front like, fucking hell

Caught Lanzini with an elbow/forearm when challenging for the ball. Debatable whether or not it was intentional imo but it being Mitrovic obviously swings it more to 'he probably meant it' which is his own fault really. It'll be a definite 3 game ban like.

In any case, he'll be banned for 3 games and that's our 2 legit psychos suspended within the first 3 games. Benitez won't be happy with them at all like. EDIT: What Kaka says, aye.

Don't think it was on MOTD but a short while after the incident he gestured towards Mitrovic basically saying 'what the fuck you doing?' He definitely got clattered.

But aye I'm sure a media witch hunt by prominent figures won't have any bearing on it at all. The FA's history of impartial and fair bias precedes them.

Do you not think the FA don't make decisions based on external factors like?

Slowing down incidents is such a daft idea tbh.

Not really like. In real time it just looks like he's expecting a collision and prepping for it. It's hardly some forearm smash Neville's trying to make it out as.

Phil Neville is a fucking weasel like. "OH HE'S IN BIG TROUBLE" aye he is now you little grass.

That was fuck all like. 3 game ban then.

Could have one of his mates sitting on the roof with a sniper. It's frightening to think about.

genuinely my all time hero.

It'll probably be innocuous but he'll get banned anyway though. Happened against Arsenal 2 seasons ago.

I'll have no issue with it if it's clear cut cuntery from him tbh. I could't really tell on first viewing.

What the fuck are the stewards even doing detaining fans like that for anyway? The police had pushed the celebrations back, let the lad back up and back to his seat.

He was in full on steward mode like, his time to shine. How dare Aguero try and help him sort the situation out.

Would love a random Argie in the team.

I'm not advocating Hayden ahead of Shelvey like, but Benitez has made 'similar' decisions in the past. Often he's chosen solid and reliable over creativity and flair. We'll need to see more of Merino like, hopefully he's an absolute beast.

This is what I was thinking like, hence I sort of hope it just works out - but wouldn't be surprised if it was rarely if ever tried, we'll see. Having both on the pitch theoretically could have us providing the front line with very good service.

I'd fill his boots.
