I'm hoping for a decent showing at home against a beatable Barcelona.

He doesn't want a repeat of Salah, De Bruyne, etc

Thibo can say goodbye to his clean sheet

Some space at last

I know he's being rested for a team that's closer to his level on Friday.

Conte has finally dropped Cahill. Him & Baka out of the XI along with a CF leading the line gives us hope.

It's obviously something he's had in the past but doesn't show it enough anymore. I also think he's more of a showman at times, which obviously has negative effect on his numbers.

I think the alarming is, his lack of goal scoring instinct which was present when we originally signed him. He scored 22 goals (involved in 44 in 49 games) the season prior to joining us but hasn't really gotten close to that alongside superior players. Talk of him being more of a provider needs to die down as well if you look at his stats alone. No doubt he should be more productive with the ability he possesses..

One of a long list of exceptions. Any player worth his weight goes to the best club to further his career.

Matic filled that role when he rejoined. Shame it was only a honeymoon period

Kante chose us over Utd when we weren't even in Europe. Not everyone is only worried about their pay packet

Don't get ahead of yourself. He's been given ample time to show anything worthwhile. Plays without an ounce of awareness

Shame so few believed in him

We aren't keeping a cleansheet against anyone in this division with Cahill around

Even worse when you think it's mainly down to one man

That's exactly why I said "wake up"

We still have both of them to play at home. That's where our fate will be decided, if we finally wake up.

That's exactly why I mentioned his height. Thibo's only game of note was the 2-2 draw against Arsenal. He could be held accountable for almost half of the goals we've conceded in our last two games alone.

I believe his performances have shown him to be the better of the two this season. I'd be calling for him to start if his height wasn't an issue.

I'm sure Pedro will be out for a some time with the injury he picked up.

Well, they've managed to keep hold of their best players whilst buying smart. That isn't something that can be said about our board in the last 3-4 years.

Reminds me of Martinez. Not someone we should be going after. Sarri is the candidate for me long term but only if he is guaranteed players of his choice. We don't need another puppet at this point

Look up his nationality

Admitted to selecting the wrong XI for once. Shame it's only taken him over 6 months to see who the main weak links are.

Sad to see his time end in this fashion but you can repeatedly make the wrong decisions. His reluctancy to drop Cahill & Baka has ultimately cost him his job.
