    you'll forgive my bias for thinking that Stones is quality, especially now the lapses seem long gone. good in the air, good on the ground, can see a pass.

    couldn't/wouldn't make a forward pass last game though.

    I think the squad is stronger than most of us  ever thought it was though - mainly because Howe has found a way to unlock the potential in players we all thought weren’t good enough: Joelinton, Almiron, Longstaff, Schar, Murphy and Krafth have all shown they can execute his high press well. Even Wood looked more up for it than usual against Chelsea. 

    Do ASM or Isak walk back into the side? I’m not so sure now.
     

    Bruno would be the one player almost irreplaceable in our current squad but we add Maddison or someone of similar quality in January to help. I’d worry if Wilson was out for a long period too. 

     

    I know I’m getting carried away. I don’t seriously think we will win the title. Man City remain favourites because they have the best squad and they’ve been there and done it. But we’ve got a real opportunity this season for all the reasons already discussed in this thread. We shouldn’t fear anyone in this league if the 15 games so far are anything to go by.
     

    We are in title race as things stand. Drink it in while it lasts. We’re mint 

     

    Not sure about ASM, as i think his lack of inclusion when Willock came off was telling, but Isak gets in the team over Wood every time.

    Literally says in my post, “if Howe wants rid then fair enough, he’s earned the right”.

     

    Not sure how clearer I can make it if I’m honest mush

    you ok? thought this was footy message board, i wasn't disagreeing with you, was just entering the conversation.

    I'd work my arse off but I'm not a premier league standard footballer either.

     is it better to have an improvement on ASM's defensive frailty, or improve the lack of finishing from the other 3 (MA, RF, JM) same # of (5) goals and (5)assists produced by each side of the equation there.

    He could also, and I’m not claiming to be ITK, be a thick cunt and just shot his car wherever is free. 
     

    If Howe wants rid then fair enough he’s earned the right, but Max is still one of our best players in my eyes and it would be mad to jettison him at the point we are adding better players to play with into the team

    Agree with all of this, but what if ASM isn't up to the standard they want?  His lack of defensive input drives me nuts.
