Shroppie

If he is fit would rather see him at CB, although I suppose you can argue better to play Yoshida there than disrupt the defence if Toby can't last 90. In any case, think it's time Reed was given a big chance. He's more defensive than Morgan or Jack do would be interesting giving Wanyama licence to get forward more until we're a couple up, then he can help park the bus )

I'll explain statistics to you some time. Away win is no more likely because of earlier results.

I'm not usually pessimistic but don't have a good feeling about this one. We've lost our spark and, with other recent results, this is a match where Arsenal must get a win if they aren't going to lose ground, so they'll be up for it like City were on Sunday. It's now becoming an important issue for "big" clubs to put the upstarts in their place.

I'll be in the White Lion in Wem, Shropshire. But probably on my own. ?

Even Burnley have hit form ready for us

We also showed too much respect - the pressing was weak today and on the one occasion we did press, Long won a free kick and got them a red card.

Disagree. I thought he had,a good game, apart from losing ball once or twice.

Losing Morgan lost it for us. Would rather have seen Reed come in than Toshiba - the back 4 looked fairly solid and I would have preferred to leave well alone.

Not until December 31

Yeah. Right.

That's about it. Didn't even get on the pitch. Pleased for Ricky though, played well.

As I saw it too. Only worry is whether CBs will lose a bit of confidence in FF

Yep. The main reason Lallana and Lovren left, another big night of European football! Err....... Ironic that only Ricky, who I doubt expected to get any CL starts is the only leaver starting. C'est la vie

Looking forward to this one. Afternoon on Kelham Island, the match, curry and cheap overnighter. Just need a good win to make it perfect.

Yes it'll be a tough match but we can get a result. Bayern ran rings round them with slick fast passing and movement and only lost because of casual lapses. We mustn't stand off them and slip into slow sideways build-up. Their defence is suspect against pace and direct attacks. Then cut off the supply to Aguero (Morgan and Vic take note), attach Toby to Aguero with leg irons and job done.

A point was all we deserved. wrong player in no 10 spot. Hope Davis is fit for City. Half the team looked lethargic and slow tonight. I hate international breaks - all momentum lost.

Frustration squared redoubled in spades.

Everything too slow

We've missed Davis and even more so without Cork. Mane or Long has to come off and Cork on, more control in midfield. Morgan can then push up more.

Forster cockup

Sluggish start

Well, someone had to start it.

Kane equaliser

Wow. Loveren, Lallana and LAMBERT all start.

I doubt that it would in practice. Much easier to play FA replay a week later than postponing an already arranged game. .
