Right, but he probably will go through the season without getting injured. He usually does. Whereas we cant keep one striker out of three fit...... ...

Face it! We are going to have to win at City. With Michael Oliver refereeing. Win that and you deserve a title. :-)

Oh absolutely. Definitely. Just like last season, and the season before. More chance of me flying to the moon wearing a Spurs shirt.

Well, if nobody else is going to beat them, we will just have to do it ourselves. I wonder if Michael Oliver will referee that game...... :-(

What else are you going to do? Ice skating? Collecting stamps? Civil war reenactment? Have to find something to waste your life on. Football...

We really think we can't beat Spurs? Or Chelsea? Let's see what happens between now and then. At the very least, we should have Martinelli and...

I can't remember:-(

Right. In that split second the game speeded up and he had space, and knew what to do. We know he can do that. He's a very different player to...

Half of them back would be great. Imagine only having three forwards injured- heaven :-) We have no idea yet what this squad is capable of, and...

Don't underestimate the little things. For are equaliser, his pass to MnM was perfectly weighted. That gave MnM time to control the ball and delay...

I'll judge us when we've got everyone back. If we can lose no more to injury and get those crocked back quick, and to their bests, then we can see...

Last season was the big opportunity and we blew it. This season is going to be harder. But I still don't think City are quite there just yet. That...

Flying isnt good for knee or muscular injuries:-( We'd probably lose three more players before we landed.

A 'coming together', perhaps? Standard phrase used to excuse a foul that even Stevie Wonder can see...

I think it was a penalty. But I KNOW we wouldn't have been given it, and certainly not by him.

I think he is more effective when the game speeds up and he can use his pace and power. He's being asked to play at a more pedestrian pace with us...

Let's not talk about it..... The amount of injuries we have in the forward areas is quite astonishing. We have to be due a bit of luck.... surely!

We are not going be gifted the title the way Liverpool were last season. We are going to have to earn this ourselves. I hope City don't...

If we had 5 defenders out, we'd still have 3, so we could play Dec at CH, with Easy or Kai at inside left. Or B at FB with Noni at RW. Imagine a...

But he's looked decent when he's played. The finish after the MnM backheel to MLS etc. He can glide past players. He had that shot just wide...

Let's hope we are not having that discussion in a few months, with Merino playing at centre back :-(

This is the conversation we had in the summer. He simply doesn't trust Nwaneri in that central role and if he did, Eze wouldn't be here. And it...

We still almost won it at the end. If they'd scored 5-10 mins earlier we could still have turned it around.

If MnM hadn't been playing up front, he could have come on for Dev with fresh legs. But if he doesn't trust Ethan to come on for Easy or Norgy for...

To be fair, he only brought the extra defender on in the 87th minute and the idea was reasonable- strengthen our physical presence in the box. It...

They're all massive threat on balls into the box. We are great at defending that usually but they gave us a really tough time. I thought Raya was...

Yes, very much so. Poor old Declan Rice was exhausted in the last 10 minutes, dead on his feet. You can't help the feeling that this is the sort...
