    We're supposed to be away to Benfica tonight, which might as well be playing at home.

    But the game has been switched to Rome due to Covid.

    A weird decision that. How are players and staff any less vulnerable in Rome than Porto?

    isn’t it just one decent go, then run out of ideas for any go after.

    Apparently Portugal has got high Covid rates, but surely it's a negligible risk seeing as the teams will stay in their bubbles.

    Last season at Greyskull - 52 appearances and 11 goals

    Last season with City - 52 appearances and 31 goals

    People who don’t think he’s improved, know **** all about reality it seems, and are highly likely to be of the badge wearing, big flag waving, bitter red ****e persuasion.

    In fairness I'm struggling to recall a manager who bought the worst players from other teams and surrounded them with rubbish players and then did well.

    What you describe is what every club/manager tries to do and if they aren't then they aren't doing it correctly.

    Don't think the Sucksta does irony ... it is indeed incredible that the likes of Robertson, VVD and Mane, all arguably the best players at their club when Liverpool came calling, have been successful and improved as players when surrounded by much better players whilst at Liverpool <laugh>
