Brilliant again yesterday, such a consistent player .

The Harry kane moment , I don't really fault him for that, it's been a bit of a weakness for us a few time this season, I put it down to communication. If you're gonna play that ball to Dougie , you have got to make him aware of the danger at his back

McGinn is a man possessed so far. Brilliant. 

And as if the ref is going to book that thicko conkface

Master class, hopefully we can get one more and then put kamara in beside him to finish the game out

I thought he was excellent for City especially when he played as a false 9 but hasn’t been great for Barca at his age he just needs a regular run playing football.

Ya I always thought he looked a great talent, Still young and if we go for him it means unai sees something in him, so yes for me

Did this guy sell ground name to Spotify at Barca or would that be a different position at club that sorts stuff like that out?

Just scanning through Reddit, I haven’t seen a bad word about him from Barca fans so I guess that’s a good thing

Looking through a Barca fourm also, they seem to believe he was against the return of Messi and this is one of reasons he is leaving 

That United CB pairing get physically bullied by Ollie and if Maguire comes in he runs in behind them, either way we walk over them 

He is one of our younger players that I'd like to see a loan to European side now that he has had his feel of men's football in lower leagues, would he get game time at Vitoria or is he a level below that?

I’d like something like the below, wishful thinking perhaps but we’d be a real force if we added these key areas, whilst trimming the deadwood further.

SUMMER 23/24

Starter- RB/CB, also push Carlos/Konsa at CB

Starter - LM/CAM, bench Ramsey

Starter- RW/SS, bench/rotate Buendia

Starter/Comp - RM, rotate McGinn

Starter/Comp - CM, rotate Luiz

Comp - CBL, push Mings

Comp - Backup GK

 

WINTER 23/24

Comp- LWB, bin off Digne

Comp - DM, bin off Dendonker

Comp - LW/RW, youth prospect to give us options

Don't get this part at all, we need to build a squad for Europe, players like donk need to be kept around even if we improve the players ahead of them, we have played half our season with two keepers on bench

What about that Italian winger at Leeds played very well against us how has he been travelling.

He reminds me a lot of Aaron Connelly that played for Brighton, constant running with head down, little end product

Honestly think some are being a bit hard on Coutinho, he's been unlucky with injuries this season, and no one played well under Gerrard. I'd still like to see what he can do under a proper coach / manager - he was class in his day maybe Emery can get him back to those levels? If he did we'd have a hell of a player, and he's surely still got some decent years ahead if he looks after himself? 

Utlimately, whatever Emery decides goes and I'll back it 100% if he wants to move him on, but wouldn't be so quick to write him off personally! 

Bit similar to how Norwich fans treated Aaron Ramsey because of his connection to Dean Smith 

If by some miracle west ham win this conference league, will that take away a European spot?

If that word removed was still our manager, the media would now be writing articles about how we were exploring the option of bringing Mane and Frimino in this summer

I agree and think will be 2-3 signings mainly Bailey wide attacking upgrade and RB if Emery doesn't think Cash is good enough

Still think a younger CB needs to brought in,

Both Mings and Carlos both now in 30s,

Just someone in early 20s that will push the lads we have

When ya think of big moments in a season, how big was the digne injury the week he arrived? We were forced to throw him in deep end, wow what a player

That back 3 we went to against Chelsea might be a way to get him into the team, 

Liverpool could be a game we might see it, give Moreno a bit more license to get at Trent 

Is it possible city get sanctioned this season? Points deduction or European ban? 

If 5th was to get ya champions league, we are definitely in the running 

I'd be very surprised if he dose not start at right back this weekend, can't see how we can expect Ashley young to play 3 games in one week 

We need a bigger squad for Europe, make sure your passport is up to date Tim

Is he looking bigger since arriving? looks to have bulked up a bit

Think a big sign of what we have done under Emery, we are in European football position with minus goal difference, Steven Gerrard nearly ruined our club in first half of season 

Had really good second half, 

Bit concerned about him having to play a 3rd game in a week on Saturday at his age 

If we had not won that game and I was Alex leaving that pitch , I'd be furious.

Constantly got into great positions and was ignored 

I'm his biggest critic, very poor in second half but thought he worked hard in first half

Bertie you beaut , I may become a bertie boy by the end of the season
