A Great signing, which was always on the cards......Can't wait to see him demolish Manure and that watch that deluded ***** Van Gaal suffer more next weekend, hopefully it'll end their top 4 finish ambitions too. Whats also good about this signing is in the summer we will probably offload the then 32 year old knee crocked Pelle back to Italy to some gullible serie A club for around £4M-£5M where it will mess with his head and his form will hopefully take a dive just in time for Euro's and will totally screw up Italy's game plan as they rely on him the goals anything which gives England a better chance is ok with me..... Who knows maybe if Charlie can score a hat full of goals for us maybe he'll get his chance in an England shirt.

As we are at home for our nexr 3 games Palace in the FA cup, Watford and then West Brom Given that Wanyama will now miss the Palace game due to suspension, if Koeman plays Mane and Wanyama in front of home crowds what reception do you think they will get from the fans based on yesterdays debacle? or do you think that Koeman needs to drop them both indefinitely for the sake of team spirit?

Gotta be Sam Byram for me too, apparently we bid £4.5M last summer which was rejected, but as his contract is up this summer expect Leeds to let him go rather than let him leave for free this summer. He is expected to leave Leeds in the January transfer window He is a solid attack minded RB and can also play RW, is only 22 so fits the clubs philosophy would give Cedric the kick up the backside needed as he currently has no serious competition for his place and would be an option to play on the right of midfield also

Be happy if this is true as he's gotta be better than that bottler Cedric who had a mare against Spurs. I agree Chambers should never of left us, out of his depth when playing for Arsenal at centre back where he has been made to look stupid at times when he plays that position but no doubt's he is a quality RB and made his debut for England while playing for us when he covering for Clyne at RB while is was injured, he would never be given a start at RB position at Arsenal as he is behind Bellerín and Debuchy in pecking order as Arsene doesn't believe in him

bet were all waiting for the inevitable Yoshida/Gazza mistake that gifts them a goal and puts us on the back foot for the rest of the game

Literally meaning we play the ball backwards most of the time rather than forwards

I'm didn't say they win alot of games but seem to show more desire and attitude than us at the moment to try and turn things around, they came back from 2-0 down against Everton last week to draw 3-3 even after conceding a goal in the last minute (could you see us doing that currently) and they won yesterday at the BPL champions Chelsea, for a club such as them with their lack resources (given the injuries they have too) that is a great quality to have. We seem to have gone backwards (literally) only start playing in the first and last 10 minutes of a match, heads go down when we concede goals and we hold the ball too long at critical times (Dusan Tadic a prime example) giving the opposition time to reorganise, it was evident yesterday, on Wednesday and the week before against Stoke, if some of our players just showed the same desire as the Bompey players we wouldn't be in this mess now.

Bompey have more guts than us to win games at the moment that's for sure

Hope Fraser is back sooner rather than later

bodes well for Wednesday against Liverpool if we play like this bloody rubbish, were playing worse than Bompey out there, the poster who said 5-0 looks like they were correct

all over the place at the back even Fonte looks out of sorts.....really poor so far

just knew it with him playing......disaster waiting to happen

We got Liverpool at home!!!! GAME ON!!!

If City get Liverpool in the quarters then who knows it could be our year yet!!!

Great to see Juanmi given another chance tonight COYR!!!

At last Juanmi is on!!!

Bet Virgil van Dijk will be watching this and thinking there is no way i'm joining this team suspect he is awaiting the outcome of this match anyway to see if we make the group stages and if we go out there is no way he would come to play here, if Celtic are already there, and he can win the league with them again this season

from what i've seen so far in the time he has had on the pitch he looks better than Tadic, Davis and JWP

We need to play Juanmi in the 2nd leg for sure.......give the guy a chance FFS

Great point for Dusan and the lads

They haven't got there yet, next round is the playoff for the group stage

I wouldn't want to be one of our players judging by the look on Ron's face on the bench he looks livid

Shambles at the back..... I blame the lack of a player the same class as Toby

Hope Emirates now pull out leaving them with nothing........I mean come on its a classic case of cutting your nose off to spite your face is it not
