    City getting beat of Arsenal and Toure wanting City to get back on track.

    Rodwell suspended (thankfully) what is SA plans?

    Lens can piss off, so Defoe is a must be who else?

    What about the defence?

    No. CM options will be M'Vila, Gomez and Ola. <yikes>

    The words "back" and "lash" seem to fit together well this week... :(

    They wanted to get back on track against Arsenal and didn't.

    We need to quieten the crowd, not difficult, and get amongst them.

    They'll leave gaps at the back, at home, as they always do.

    Wish I could make this one ......... could be good.

    Some goal from Yaya last night mind, and he always seems to have one up his sleeve for us, just hope its a consellation this time with the last kick of the game, remembered by us, for a sweet Borini hat-trick.

    I'd go with that apart from Johnson or Fletcher depending on the system for your beloved Yedlin.

    He's looked out of his depth defending but he's learning as Jones did.

    It's a big loss having Cattermole & Larsson unavailable imo, especially for this type of game.

    Physio room says Catts due back, Larsson out till Jan 12th.

    Hope so, we need Catts in there.

    wtf happened to Matthews. No mention of him anywhere.

    Be interesting if Lens starts. Sam had a quiet word?

    Been thinking about how this week has been panning out on Lens front. No talk of him training with reserves or on his own as yet which is a good sign. Words will have been said. Could we see a response from him?

    That would the best answer he could give.

    He`s a talented player and capable of making a huge contribution if he puts the effort in but he can`t think he has an automatic right to be on the pitch.

    I think Sam will have had little chat. We can only wait and see whether it makes a difference. It`s in his own interests after all.

    My mate's a bricklayer - he can put up an 8 foot by 20 foot wall in around half an hour - might be worth sticking him in goal!

    I know a lad who works in demolition too so he can knock the wall down when we change at half time...

    Sam Allardyce. If he (jermain lens) comes to me and tells me what club are going to buy him, we'll probably look at it.

    <doh>

    I'd be over the moon if we send him back to Spurs and make him their problem. Would much rather bring one of our own young lads through than waste any more time on him, tbh.
