Strike

The only one of our top players I can see leaving in the summer. There will be clubs interested in him.

Don't see an obvious market for Cucurella since our high value sales in the last 5 years have been exclusively to our English rivals - Arsenal (Kai, Noni), Man U (Mason), Villa (Maatsen), Newcastle (Lewis Hall). I can't see an English club coming in for him this summer. La Liga clubs, Bayern etc are all not coming in for high value players which is one of the big flaws of BlueCo policies that they thought that there will be a market for these exciting young signings we make.

0-0? We have 1 clean sheet in 14

Not regardless of experience but with experience. It is clearly showing in the number of red cards and inability to manage phases of the game. We really had a lot of players in the PL that were potential targets last summer - Guehi, Semenyo, Cunha, Mbeumo. The only signing we made who had 3-4 seasons of PL experience was Joao Pedro and it shows.

presumably he can't write change the owners because he might lose his limited access at the club

With Maresca at the CWC, we had worked out that going over the top was better and targeted the right hand side. Liam has done well since taking over but the wrong calls made last night before and during the game.

Ten clean sheets this season and should be a lot more but for set piece defending vs Burnley/Wolves etc. Even for his limitations, Sanchez is having a good season

I hope this settles the Sanchez vs Jorgensen debate. Sanchez has had a solid season and should have a lot more cleansheets to his name if we had any semblance of a normal defense.

Wonder if it is better to go with the midfield 3 that has worked well - Enzo Caicedo Santos

Hard to believe they intend to win the PL soon when the summer incomings are looking like Penders, Quenda, Emegha and possibly a CB Even if some of them seem to be quality youngsters, you just can't expect clinical performances over a 38-game season with such a young squad.

The draw gives room for rotation during the fixture crunch

Lovely

Lovely. 3 points off United and Villa who face each other next

This is not the City team from 2023 Almost the entire XI is made up of players that came in the last couple of years with the exception of Haaland

Still time and Tosin has come on

The high line and a team actually showing up to play helps. The test is whether we can find a way to win vs the teams that park a bus

Turning out to be a good evening. United are behind A Brighton equalizer will top it off

Going for a red card XI

If we lose tonight, I think that's it. Only see us catching Villa

I agree. I wouldn't put him in the James, Caicedo category. If we are forced to sell, then he's the one big money player we can smartly turn over and still upgrade the position

KDH has become a good player this year

Why would Morgan Rogers leave an ambitious Champions League club and come to the circus here?

BlueCo is the curse
