I think a positive from all of this is that our thinness of squad is showing at just the right time before the transfer window, perhaps persuading the powers that be to hold onto players like Cork, add a decent keeper as backup, and get in some more bodies in positions like left back to avoid resorting to Fox. I think it would be just our style to now get a draw or better v Man City but have put this down as a loss (just like I did with the Villa game - thanks bookies)

Agreed. Hope he comes good v City. He'll get a lot of the game... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Gazza looked a bit invisible for the first, it's true. No chance with the third.

Looked from the highlights that Yoshida miscalculated on the first goal and let Delph have too much room for the third. But we were a bit mugged by the looks of things. Oh well. It happens.

Villa are good away. We are understrength, especially in goal. uh-oh. But hopefully just oh!

Shilton

That's pretty much his game. Gets into good positions, then head down and too fast into a defender's foot.

But maybe not on letting soft goals in...

I was surprised Cork wasn't given a chance against his old club. But yes, Wanyama is big part of our defensive strength. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Well, yes, up to a point. But I'm a bit worried about Gazza being up to it. Hope I'm proved wrong. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I don't really get your point (other than being a bit aggressive). Do you mean you disagree that he'd be good for us? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I think they're a better team now, post-Mancini. Personally I hope we investigate an emergency loan for a keeper Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Downgrading this to a loss on the Boruc news. We'd be equally screwed if Shaw got an injury. Squad too thin to make a challenge. Need new keeper in Jan as backup

I quite like the training kit. Just wish we could buy the kit in 'normal' stores alongside every other Prem team's stuff. Why does this persist?

Please no

I'm waiting for them to mention anything at all about Southampton on motd. Oh yes, Hansen about Boruc

No lovren equals no win
