    Good team. I really hope NR & JR can find some consistency today. A good performance first and foremost.

    Typical sky, just ignore the game that's on first and "a derby" and straight into talking about man city .

    There's really not a lineup that excites me, nor there is one that depresses me. Pretty much like for like on every position. So it's a good lineup. Glad though that Boufal starts. And Yoshida, he deserved it. Jay is probably a bit better idea that Long who is like a fish out of water in our system. Neither of them will score, but with Jay we might play about 2% better.

    Boufal just done an interview. Comes across really well considering how long he's been here, but asking him about the derby. Poor thing, doesn't even know what our derby game is!

    Or with the amount of starters on the bench he just likes to rotate as always?

    Don't get puels rotation logic it's starting to look abit odd and weird now. You play your best players in the best positions if they're fit! It's as simple as that , dont feel he's done that today , sorry.

    Worth a re-quote because he has summed it up nicely. Certainly my sentiments.

    Yoshida has been every bit as good as Fonte this season, it's as simple as that.

    Reports of a major security breach on the south coast as Claude Puel's selection policy is leaked.

    Can you explain why he's on the bench though ? Also tadic and Davis , and start a young lad who ain't started once this season? It's just odd and makes no real sense .

    And where is Sims? Is he injured? If not why the hell is he not in the squad?

    Reed did start a couple of matches and he's the most natural replacement for Romeu. Tadić is for me our best player, but he's form has been a bit off since his return from injury so it's no wonder he's waiting his opportunity from the bench (also, it seems to me his mask is causing him some problems). As for Font, it might just be that we don't want to crook him before his transfer. :1980_boogie_down:
