At the very least he could fix the leaks in our defence.

 

Unless he performs miracles on the side he won't be able to do much

 

Cheers, his tweets are protected though so that's a waste of time.

 

That's cause he talks a power of *

 

Thank * he's back, had those Wolfsburg defenders on toast today every time he went up against them and his passing was on point.

He's going to do major, major damage this season starting on Wednesday.

 

Does anyone know yet why he wasnt playing in gibtaltar?

 

Brendan trying to accommodate Griffiths on the right of a 4-3-3 to make way for Dembele through the centre. Therefore couldn't get Roberts into his best position on the right.

Changed his formation to include Roberts today after finally seeing sense that he's too good a player to leave out, thankfully.

 

Baffling decision really as youd have roberts there over griffiths every day of the week

 

Exactly. But it's done now anyway, just wait till those Gibraltans come up against him on Wednesday, they'll be asking where the * did this guy come from after tearing them all night. :smiley-laughing002:

 

I reckon man city had a say about the pitch.

 

I recon they didnt play him cause that pitch was * terrible....some players dont get on with those kinds of pitches and he may be one of them....someone also said it might be why lustig didnt play.

 

That never crossed my mind.

 

Cause you're a bit thick rossy.:bbpd:

 

Harsh....but fair.

 

He started well today but he faded badly. I don't think the 3-5-2 suited him. He offered nothing defensively and his starting position was deeper than usual

 

when did we play 3-5-2 ?

 

THIS

It's the reason I dont think that Rodgers fancies him in the team. If we play a standard 4-3-3 or the good old 4-2-3-1 then he should be in the team

 

We started with a 3-5-2 today and switched in and out of it during the game

 

The first half today was 3-5-2 when attacking and 4-4-2 when defending.
