Can't we just sign Ricardo??

Luiz special. Shouldn't be on corners, though...

I'd like Rodgers. I think the guy is a bit of a tool and no doubt he wouldn't be at the club a long time but he's a big upgrade on the shit we're seeing.

 

Just curious. Why do you think he's 'a bit of a tool'?

Still of the view that we need another STRONG CM/CDM beside Kamara.

I really think we'd be fine if Luiz played next to Kamara.

Absolutely criminal that he's a nailed on starter for us every single God damn game.

It's really draining.

It is utterly baffling. He is not on form, hasn't been for a while and Luiz is much better . Our manager makes him captain, though, which for me is one of the clearest indications that he doesn't know what he is doing. Terrible terrible decision 

People saying he is no improvement on Luiz. Highlights how Luiz was unfairly criticized. They should be playing in the same midfield and McGinn dropped and Ramsey spared.

Is that the same Lucas Digne who has just been dubbed "s**t", "useless" "very,very poor" and "aimless" by some VT posters because he's had a couple of poor performances?

 

A couple?

It is a pity he hasn't been picked as a starter in the first two games. He will get his chance though as Ramsey lacks consistency (McGinn will not be dropped) and it will be up to him to make sure he becomes first choice from then on. I can't see him replacing Kamara anytime soon. 

Can't see that he is much of an upgrade on Targett. Why Targett felt he couldn't compete with this guy for a starting place is also baffling. Thought he was very poor today and really isn't all that defensively.

Comfortable win. Comfortable performance.

So happy for Emi.

You're a cool one.

Obvious now , isn't it? Buendia needs to be starting

Still not convinced by Digne. Poor defender

McGinn's had a bit too much Red Bull at half time

How the hell did we get Kamara

I can't get my head round it either. It really does look like we've signed a top class, special player. Fair dues to all involved.

Great shot, great goal.

He was an expensive flop at Barça. They couldn't get rid of him fast enough. Didn't do anything special at Bayern either. He's very much in decline and it's a terrible shame that a special player on the way up is being benched instead of him.

Actually seeing that kind of quality in our central defence, really highlights just what a top player looks like, and for all our arguments and debates about how good our CD's were, Carlos just highlights the gap between a top level player and average players.

Ever so slight an exaggeration here. Let's wait until the real games begin ,shall we? I watched him a lot for Sevilla and that centre back pairing were solid but by far the better of the pair has gone to Barça. Let's not build him up for a fall. He'll need time to adapt and mistakes will be made. 

Bit underwhelming for Fernandinho, not the best way to end his Man City career.

Chambers is having a good game!!

Watkins!!  Really should be doing better there.

Well, that was unexpected but just shows what we are capable of when we take the game to the opposition. Luis did very well to start that move. Great finish from Cash!!

Jesus, Olsen!!!!

Olsen is terribly nervous. Needs to settle

We've been wonderful since their goal. If only we had a top class striker!

That's more like it. Fantastic sequence Villa!!!
