    I'm not expecting much if any transfers in January. Think it's more about who he doesn't want rather than who he does....attempt to shift those in January or at least mark their card, stay up and then build in the summer. January is an awful window...a time for desperation buys....and do we need to get stuck with yet another player who isn't quite right. The plan appears to be to have a real look at the youngsters and use them to plug any gaps.

    Maybe we’ll recall Carrillo in January. Insurance in case Ings gets injured. Ralph might appreciate his powerful physical presence. Five goals in La Liga

    Agreed, exactly as Wanyama played.

    I love the press, but a good press still can need someone to sit at times. One ball can kill a press.

    Under was undervalued until he’d gone.

    The match if we get anything will prob be won in midfield.
    So I welcome the loss of de bruyne

    Very true. I remember RK coming in and saying something very similar. I think he called it ‘intelligent pressing’

    I think I can get over my disappointment at not seeing De Bruyne.

    I enjoy playing the better teams, all our players raise there games. If will also be a hard test for man city too, with so many Injurys I wonder if there snow flakey players will try and compete for the 50/50s whilst we go in hard to win every ball.
    Whichever the result I expect to see a performance of 110% so we shall see, we may be surprised.

    Well after the West Ham game, I thought I'd try the dishwasher emptying routine again (I abandoned it for that game).

    Last fork in drawer 3 seconds before the kettle boiled. And I didn't overfill it. Can only mean one thing.

    COYS!!!!!

    Not until I’ve come back from Sainsbury’s, I need a clear head , as I’m on “ Strike 2” apparently , this needs to go smoothly without any **** ups.

    Targett (on Sky) saying that Ralph is hot on detail....they've had lots of meetings about tactics and what he wants. Says he has had one on one meeting with RH looking at his performance in the Arsenal game....what was right and what needed improvement.
