Paqueta not playing well is disappointing, but it happens. Paqueta not putting in the required effort is unacceptable. Paqueta petulantly lashing out at the opposition, getting suspended for EL qtr finals is beyond unacceptable. That’s actively hurting the team. Completely agree. He tried far too m...

City will be switching their attention to Wirtz instead of Paq

The walking yellow card - idiot

Of course. Ten more yards and the covering defender has to come across leaving Mo open

Cornet, Johnson and Ings the only players who could potentially swing a game in our direction.

Oggy & Aguerd there to protect our lead

Pretty much the team we all thought.

Am I missing something with Aguerd, are we now saying he’s not in our top 2 cb’s or is it due to the rumoured move a while back ?

If Bowen misses the game i think we need to take the positive of Kudus playing back on the right. I think he looks much better on that side. Fab Coufal Mav Zouma Cresswell Soucek Paq Kudus JWP Emerson Antonio Agree mostly, except I’d play Alvarez instead of JWP and put him in the middle pushing Paq...

And VAR hates us….

Cresswell is the answer, apparently

Emerson wide left I guess

Just watched the highlights of the Wolves game 3 years ago, JLingz was absolute mustard that day

Not a single player I'd be comfortable coming on.

Thought Ings did well against Burnley when he came on and actually thought he deserved a bit more time after that performance

Think Antonio is the right move to start tbh. He will get us upfield easier as Moyes won't want to over commit to early. If we can get the Fab 3 near him so he isn't trying to hold the ball isolated. The key is getting him subbed when needed also. Also he won't be on the pitch if it goes to pens. I...

It’d be nice if we didn’t have to go 2-0 down before reverting to that system though !

Ironing Board wrote: ↑Thu Mar 14, 2024 5:02 pm We need some freshness at the weekend too. He'll be getting more minutes, I reckon.

Maybe. Surely he could manage an hour tonight then an hour on Sunday though ? I actually see Antonio able of causing more problems than Ings against Villa

Thought Ings done well on Sunday, looked hungry to be involved and worked hard, would’ve started him ahead of bringing on Antonio as an impact sub in the second half

We really are the gift that keeps on giving

Some of you were mentioning the other day how Soucek was actually doing the Captains job.

Looking forward to this but if its disappointing I can always laugh at who loses the 4.30 game

Good luck with that cos there isn’t one

I agree

We should win this one quite easily..Burnley like to try and play and that will suit us perfectly.Anything other than a 3 -0 or 4-0 win today I'd be surprised. They will try and come at us and wecwilllll pick them off.it suits Moyes game . I dont think wexwill be **** housing a:win today. So you’re...
