Brilliant.

Klavan over Moreno irks me. I can get having that player you don't trust, but Klavan's hardly solid, is he really worth putting out of position?

No way do we sign a 33 year old right back who threw in the towel when he played for us before.

Still have Saiz, Alioski or Hernandez who might produce a moment of something.

Not on the training ground no, but there's always a bit of luck during matches. To get as little as we have during games might not stick. Or someone might break something in a challenge. If we only have 3 we'd then have no bench option, or option if someone's out of form. (Although we mostly seem to persist despite form anyway.)

3 wingers wouldn't be enough. We've got lucky with injuries this year but that won't keep up forever.

To be fair, I don't think he's been a disaster or anything. Just not really enough of an impact on his own to be worth signing, if it's provided backup and strengthened our link with a good contact, then that's fair enough.

Signing Manquillo was just weird in all ways. Might as well have kept Anita.

It worked after a refresh.

I'd fucking kill to see Romain Amalfitano and Nacho Gonzalez screen Rozenhal and Lejeune. What a team.

They had 4 on Messi at all times in the first half. Now they're giving him space and it's not pretty.

City being rubbish is as much a key to this. They’ve bottled it. Nah Pep has made stupid decisions. Benching Sterling means as Disco pointed out they can push forward knowing they can't be punished and playing 3 CBs also plays right into what's working for Liverpool. I can pretty much guarantee if they stuck to the usual 433 with two wingers either side of Jesus this wouldn't be happening, but as is usual with every big game fuck up in his career Guardiola has overthought the match up. Reminds me of when he started changing Barca from 433 to 442 with 4 central midfielders and it just didn't work as well in big games. No idea why he doesn't just trust his usual plan.

Barca 1-0. Might be an own goal. Messi made it. They play too narrow now, they need some wingers.

One of them's already suggested it's a mag agenda from sky.

Steve McClaren got money when it was available. He set us back 5 or so years with it but he got it. Though I do feel Ashley's going to be even more of a cunt this year.

We'll need three because Gayle isn't good enough and Joselu needs setting on fire.

https://www.readytogo.net/smb/threads/leicester-city-fan-i-come-in-peace.1425217/ Another one in peace, just so happening to be from our next opponents.

Hope we sell him abroad. Getting bummed at Craven Cottage next year with him getting a hattrick would be awful.

Didn't really rate him. Used to think he was a bit weak for a big cb. Thought Dabizas was better, then Woodgate obviously. Agree with rating Hughes, thought we were stupid to let him go. My family absolutely hated Titus though.

Can imagine it now. Pardew just asking Gael if he's bricking it over and over before the Benfica game.

Ah, so that's what happened to Gael Bigirimana and why he went from decent midfielder to not good enough for league one.

I'd not look to loan him out unless it's definitely the right club. Pecchia was Rafa's right hand man and Aarons still can't get a game over there.

Must be able to sleep at night knowing they keep the derby record. League One. Fucking love it. Absolutely mental that Aleksandar Mitrovic is going to be the last man to ever score in a Tyne-Wear derby.
