Only saving grace is its not at their place. They bullied Arsenal and played some great stuff the other night with the backing of a raucous crowd. Need to turn up physically and defend well.

Schmeichel Justin Fofana Soyuncu Thomas Tielemans Mendy KDH Madivadua Daka Lookman

He will go to United, Spurs or Arsenal within the next 2 years because Southgate (and to a certain extent our injury and recruitment situation) is making it impossible for him not to). His stats and his way of playing mean that he should be on the international scene. Left foot, right foot, long range, tap ins, assists, free kicks, key passes - he's delivering on all fronts - as well as tracking back and getting stuck in. His stats alone this season are better than or on a par with foden and mount and better than all the others.

In the right set up and with consistent selection Kel is a wizard. I expected him, Maddison, Justin, Tielemans to work the right hand side diamonds on Saturday and it took them about 50minutes to clock on and start doing it. After that they had them on toast. If Rodgers can get the formation right then Iheanacho is a 20 a season striker and Daka is HIS understudy. The problem we are going to have is KDH, Tielemans, Maddison in a 4 man midfield doesnt work - leaves us too short on pace and makes it difficult to get Barnes into a team that's not lopsided.. Assuming Ndidi stays, I can definitely see why Tielemans or Maddison are being looked at as pawns in the reshaping of the squad. I can imagine a front six line up of Ndidi KDH TBC Maddison Barnes Kel With players like Dennis, Sarr, Berardi, St Maximin, Bailey etc fitting the bill as players who can provide a threat and strength up the pitch, allowing Maddison to do his work without having to be a square peg in a round role on the right.... Even Rashford might get a new lease of life at City playing as an inside forward. Anyway - back to Kel. In the right team he's got the lot. If you excuse the odd first touch and his right foot. Robbie Fowler had a plastic right foot and was the best finisher in prem history.

Feels like the core of this rebuild is Schmeichel Ricardo Fofana Justin Thomas KDH Barnes Daka Iheanacho and hopefully Maddison Vardy Evans Albrighton will be in and out next year I think soyuncu ndidi tielemans are the three that he might look to shift of significant value. That would leave in the market for 4 big players to look to 'rebuild'

Lots of stories about Maddison up for sale for £50m and Tielemans for £25. That's essentially 20 midfield goals and 15 assists a season that we need to replace for £75m. Not an easy order. Also selling Tielemans Maddison will need to be seriously sold to Fofana Ndidi Barnes Soyuncu who could well think that it's the end of an era and could have their heads turned.

Keep going with Iheanacho! He gets better with long runs and even got better as that game progressed Schmeichel Ricardo Evans Soyuncu Castagne KDH Tielemans Lookman Maddison Barnes Iheanacho

I think I'd move second half maddison into the middle and have lookman on the pitch for our next leaguegame instead of Tielemans. Gives us better balance and I don't think we need mendy, kdh and tielemans

Absolute bollocks. That is varane overstretching for the ball off balance and they are competing. The non red and the goal disallowed stink.

Utter bollocks

Lookman for KDH for me..

Lookman and Daka must be thinking. Helloooooo

Lookman for one of the midfield. Move maddison inside. The game is passing tielemans by.

Shaw is made of pastry

Best football of the game. Expected that to go in.

Come on lads.

Fofana needs to watch his sen

Maddison on the right doesn't work. We will see lookman for kdh or mendy at some point

Yeah I'd play Justin on the right Castagne on the left. Get maddison tucked in and have tielemans and Justin playing triangles with him with Iheanacho running on....

Like this. Could go with Daka instead of Barnes. Gives us chance to save Barnes Ricardo Mendy Amartey Vardy to play a role v PSV

Justin at defensive centre mid?

Great battles in this game. Two best shotstoppers save for Pope. Fofana v Maguire Tielemans vs Pogba Maddison v Fernández Vardy v Ronaldo

V United Justin Evans Soyuncu Castagne Mendy Tielemans KDH Maddison Barnes Iheanacho V PSV Ricardo Amartey Fofana Thomas Tielemans KDH Lookman Maddison Barnes Vardy

Watching Guehi, Mitchell, Gallagher in the England team shouldn't really surprise anyone when you think where Southgate was captain of and spent most of his career. I think Barnes and Maddison should be rightly super ****ed off to not be in the squad given how well they've played for some time now.
