Yeah thought he did well yesterday too. That touch to control the ball in the second half after the Sheffield United mistake was sublime. It appears our attackers are now picking up form at a pivotal part of our season. Just fingers crossed, knock on wood, pray to Allah no injuries in the international break.

We shouldn't take Porto lightly but I feel neither Tuchel or the players will. They know the golden opportunity that was given to them. Christ, could this be 2012 all over again?

Willy? Who else has a personal relationship with Aguero/Dybala? God what a sad bloke if they just conjured that up.

I'm not saying we should sacrifice our entire game plan for Emerson 😄. I'm saying if we do find ourselves in situations where we need to protect a lead, it would be better to have the wingers play in traditional roles vs inverted ones to pull off shots quicker when we do catch opposition off the break. The only role I can see of use for Emerson.

I think when setting up mainly to counter, our wingers should be playing on the side of their stronger foot. We catch teams on the break, the wingers can get their shot away faster vs having to cut in before doing so.

City vs Bayern Liverpool vs PSG Dortmund vs Real Porto vs Chelsea 😇

Thing is, he would come in handy at LF in certain situations. Last night showed that if we are playing on the counter (2nd half), its best to have traditional wingers vs inverted ones. Look at the chance CHO blew away because he had to cut inside to his right. When Emerson was clean through, he immediately finished. Doubt he would want that role though.

Probably our best chance to win silverware and this is probably the last game that has any meaning for Sheffield so I say no risks. Mendy James----Christensen---Rudiger CHO-----------Gilmour--------Kovacic----------Chilwell Mount------Pulisic Giroud

It's beyond ridiculous the runs that are getting ignored.

Mental that wasn’t given

This is going to look incredibly stupid if we win.

I wonder if it is Rudiger at sweeper?

Decent XI. Zouma definitely a cause for worry. Hoping Suarez doesn't wreck him positionally.

Aye I think if it does go to a bidding war, we may have the advantage (should we accomplish those things you mentioned). Can't recall the last time City were in a bidding war. Hazard? They also didn't want to pay his wages.

The lad was part of the Man City Supporters Group and his father played for City. City is also the most attractive offer considering their position and who is manager. I would be shocked if this move didn't happen at this point.

Yes and who was playing in both Wolves and Everton? Kovacic. Only Mount can play through the channels for quick transition just as good as Kovacic. One or the either need to play.

The only player I'd say is protected is Neymar given he mastered the flop. Ronaldo spent 6 years in the Prem and cut the diving when he realised he wasn't getting calls. Also, watch virtually any Messi compilation vs a club on YouTube and you can see he gets hacked down occasionally. Hazard never took care of himself and there are virtually a handful of players, coaches, and manager explaining his poor work ethic.

If I were Werner I'd try and man the fuck up and start taking the penalties. Don't understand how he expects to get out of the slump when he doesn't regularly see his end product hit he back of the net. At the very least try and do it with penalties. His record is fairly good too.

Thought it looked pretty good against Everton. If anything, without Mount we lose a lot of control in midfield given Jorginho and Kante's limitations. That's why if Mount isn't in the team, Kovacic should be.

If there was any truth to that rumor I'd say get it done 😂

Looking nervous is one thing, being bang average positionally and a poor reader of the game, consistently, is another. Bar Silva, virtually every one of our CB's are another Cahill. They need a elite/leader next to them without looking completely lost in a back 4.

Probably deserved. He's a clown in a back 4, but in this system he's looked relatively solid. Especially considering he has to also cover the space both Alonso and Chilwell leave behind. Still need a top CB in regardless.

Cheers Wolves

You don't think the comments writing him off completely aren't OTT? A based on the other options... Alex Telles can't get game time over Shaw. Also hearing Telles offers nothing defensively. Tagliafico should now be considered a massive risk given how poor Eredivisie players have looked since leaving Ajax. Regulion has look good but one needs to question how he'd look under a more progressive team and how he'd fair defensively.
