Andrew

Hes played 90 mins in his last four games, and seven of his last ten. And he has been absolutely superb this season.

Peps an absolute perv for fullbacks though, and no one has one like Tino anywhere else in england, I could see it happening.

Hes not performing like his heads been turned tbf

City generally do their transfer business early and fairly straight forwardly, I can't see another Liverpool/Isak saga as that was just an absolute perfect storm of absolute cunts. I don't think he'll go in Jan, hes in a really competitive spot for england fullbacks for the world cup and hes a dead cert to play every game for us that he can while also looking like (and being) one of the best in the team. Tuchel has been brutal on dropping people if they aren't playing/performing so a high profile move is risky in Jan. He could go in summer but we'll want/get top dollar for him and then he'll be off to somewhere that will double or triple his wages and be competing for titles and in europe every year. Can't argue with that from our current position.

Yes I have somehow ended up with the derby thread. Thought I'd get this up early to allow those of the persuasion ample time to piss and shit themselves out before the game itself. Its away, its at 2pm, its on sunday.

I can take no credit here beyond asking for help tbh, its all Ant. He's a good egg.

An away draw is a good result, keeps us twelfth which means a seeded playoff spot. Next CL game is home to PSV which we should win

Hes still going on about how leverkusen should have had penalty and how we should be down to ten

Thiaw pushed up and Schick just legged it off him pretty much for free. We need to get ourselves sorted out here.

Pearce is desperate for that to be a penalty and a red. Accidental clip of the heel outside the box and he will not stop going on about it.

Ive got jonathan pearce on commentary and he sounds SO fucking bored

We're playing at 9am for me, so if we're rough I'll hoy up a thread on the discord. Don't worry.

Thats incredible Rb is hume v trippier apparently, despite Tino outscoring both of them on the whoscored metric. Hall outscored both Burn and Reinildo for LB Murphy outscored traore so they put him up against elanga instead Same for Gordon and Le fee so they stuck him up against barnes. So that side, by their own criteria should actually be Pope Tino Thiaw Mukiele Hall Xhaka Bruno Tonali Murphy Woltemade Gordon Suddenly not looking so good for our rivals is it

Another chance for us to throw away a result late on comes in midweek! Three games to go in the group stage and ones away at PSG so we could really do with a win here to give us a good chance of going through.

Amazing what happens when I'm asleep.

In case it wasn't obvious at any point, I'd recommend the discord today chaps.

Wouldn't worry about money stuff for now, we're fine on that front. Its mostly just trying to nail down the issue thats difficult at the moment. I will indeed give it the old turn it off n on again routine in a wee while that Im awake. Got a couple of other things to try once we're out of UK hours as well.

ITS THE ME DERBY! This should be a win, Burnley are dreadful and their fans are feeling very down about it but fuck knows which version of us will show up.

tbh Im not sure, it was a possible suggestion but I've also sent them some diagnostic info that Im waiting to hear back on.

OK, some changes have been made following that conversation with our hosts. It is unfortunately more expensive which is annoying but I am hoping that it will handle the performance issues that we've had for a while (in addition to trimming a lot of shit from our storage) Since I'm not on here during the UK day and often not at our peak times (weekend matches and whatnot being at 2-4am here) please keep calling out performance problems in here so that I know about them. Ta.

Nah, not enough to be a problem. I've opened a ticket with our hosts for the current performance, we're not doing anything that should cause us to run so poorly.

I'm not sure how under the radar they're going to be tbh, both should be going into the World Cup squad quite easily. I'm expecting Tino to be the subject of pretty endless speculation for a Man City move as well. if Reece James stays fit (which is a bigger if than either of our lads) then I'd expect Tino and Hall to be Englands left back options.

ffs that was shambolic, what are we doing?!

That was an absolutely unbelievable finish!
