As mentioned above Walker just doesn't look right.....looks to be limping a little

[Sideshow Bob]

better from leroy.

[Justified logic]

This could go either way.

[john@staustell]

Hargreaves. What a fuckin idiot

[stevefromdonny]

at the moment our passing is woeful need to make sure of our passes and for more from our front 2

[bigblue]

Stones decision making and positioning has improved by miles this year

They're playing a high line so we're having to quickly make high-risk passes. A bunch will fail but only need 1 or 2 to go through

this game needs raheem

[Sideshow Bob]

oh so close from leroy!

[john@staustell]

I thought that too

The player that's got the goals and assists and ran defences all over the show this season so far? No. That's too sensible Nige.

am hearing the echo of Pep's comments on 1st half league cup tie.
sadly, to PP point, today not even Leroy's magic is breaking even,

expect Pep to work on upping tempo and passes at HT

[bigblue]

Delphinho has done himself plenty of favors so far. Our left side looks more secure than the right

Surprised by shaktar. They're decent.

Frustrating final ball so far, so many opportunities squandered so far.

Very safe player. With the odd bit of spectacular

I'd like to and expect to see him on as well (will probably be subbed on after 65 minutes if it's still a draw), but your argument fits Jesus, Sané and Agüero as well...

great post!

Haven't read the thread.
Fern has been excellent.
Delph acquitting himself well.
Stones doing alright.
Jesus......trying hard but nothing special.
The rest have been muck.
KDB has played a few decent balls but ultimately looks off. Should have scored.
Silva has been gash Leroy has been gash other than the one near the end.

Collectively we look sluggish.
The ball needs to be moved much quicker and much more accurately.

Pep, earn your crust. Get a rocket up them.

Fern 1, 2, Delph n Vinny
