Betrand does his hammie.....2 weeks before the window opens.

MoPe is reminding me more and more of Christian Gross when he was at Spurs.

That is a ****ing shocking line up. He is an idiot. VVD dropped - fine Boufal benched - okay, I can see that with him coming on against tired legs aound 65 minutes No Long - must be injured Lemina benched - wtf!? Can't see us keeping the ball much in this one...not real outlet unless Redmond plays a blinder. I like Gabbi but he's not really going to holding it up. I guess we will be looking for quick balls forward and running the channels. Need Rom, PEH and JWP to be on top form today. But what do I know....I thought the Man City line up would be a disaster. Opinions, eh?

Various posts on other threads saying he has left the club, although nothing on the club site about it. Fake news? Any ITKs want to comment?

It was. He looked embarrassed throughout.

.....is that Dr Barry "High Press" Gale on The Crystal Maze tonight? Has he got any managerial experience?!

Tender. Your. Resignation. Please. I mean you no ill, but this isn't the right job for you.

Has to go now. Get that ex-Dortmand guy in, and spend a few ££ in January. I was dubious whether we had really turned a corner since Everton.....it seems we haven't. Please Mr Gao give him the Spanish Archer asap. (Wonder if he'll resign in fact?)

Really? Big walk out?

Is "three sides worse" our cunning plan?

Saw we were a goal down. Lost coverage in the euro-town I'm visiting. Get it back and it's 1-4. Where are the MoPe revival luvvies now? Dead cat bounce.

What's he done? Is he out for long?

PEH excellent. Austin is a real goal-scorer. Bertand is getting back to his best. Stephens did well. But: Redmond? Why do we pick him? Where was Long? That's the sort of game he's made for. Lemina benched? Decent result. Things are improving. But some things still strange.

The thought had crossed my mind too.

Knew it. Clever goal.

Gabbi coming on.

Things do seem to be improving over the past few games. We're more entertaining, more energetic and seem to have more 'bite' about us.

Bertrand having a good game.

Like to see Boufal on in his place.

Unlucky!

Rubbish - from a decent break. Awful.

This is going on too long. We need to get a grip and wrestle back some posession.

Perhaps there's a swap deal with Walcott in the offing.....!

Slowing things down at times again. Guilty of turning some space there into sideways/backwards.

It is a strange line up though. Stephens in from the cold, no Long - when you'd think we'd want his pace on the break. Redmond on the left. Not convinced at all by MoPe....but he maybe starting to prove me wrong.
