Not as important as what it would represent. But what would happen score wise, if the game is abandoned? COYR

3-5-2 for me. Bentley Moore Kalas Baker Pereira Dasilva Smith Nagy Massengo Weimann Diédhiou Subs Brownhill Palmer Elliasson Maenppa Hunt Semenyo O Dowda Some tough decisions there. There are a few not making the bench that I wouldn’t be that upset, even if they were in the starting eleven! Would love to add Afobe to that eleven though. Easy this manager lark! COYR

Just saw this. Top top post. COYR

Sounds good. Jacki & Bob in the same team! COYR

It’s funny how we all see things differently, don’t personally see his shooting as great as he doesn’t hit the target enough. Touch wise is inconsistent, often on the stretch after his second touch. Agree with energy, ok passer, ok tackler & seemingly good attitude. What I will add, is that I think he has the ability to improve on all the points I’ve made, there is potentially a Premier player in there. Hope he becomes it with City. COYR

Thought about starting a thread on him myself, so I’m glad it’s been raised. Thought he was very good yesterday & every time I’ve seen him, even though it’s only been short glimpses. He has a tenacity about him & good on the ball. Everything you want in a full back imo. To think he has not had a proper pre season & is in a new league in a new country & yet shows a lot of promise imo. Very good in one on one situations, always on his toes & looking sharp. Thought he got forward well first half, but didn’t have the opportunity second due to the flow of the game & the tweaks they made at half time. Think we have two very good right backs battling for a position currently. But from what I’ve seen, Pedro once fully fit could be difficult to dislodge. Great signing & hope ( fairly sure we have?) we have a fee agreed? COYR

100% with you, unfortunately I think people are attacking your reputation, rather than reading your post. It is an annoyance in normal circumstances, but yesterday highlighted the potential severity of it. There are so many potential reasons it has to be clear, yesterday being one, a child going missing, suspicious package, the list goes on. In the scheme of things, I really cannot see this as an expensive fix. Get it sorted City! COYR

Don’t believe that was a change at halftime, rather 5 - 10 minutes into the second half, after Reading pushed an extra man in midfield & pushed their full backs 10 yards higher. They were quite simply overrunning us in midfield, only other solution would of been going to 3-5-2, which we did later. Personally thought they were the worst team I’ve seen this season in the first half, thought had we got the second, it could of been 3 or 4. But credit to their manager, as his adjustments certainly improved them in the second half. Another good win, with an average performance. COYR

Did a good job, undoubtedly. But are some forgetting not filling the bench, even if only to give a youngster the experience of a match day, just to make a point. The club, the owner wanted to go in a certain direction & by all accounts, SC didn’t. Wish him all the best. But I think the route we are on is the correct one. COYR

Might want to grab yourself some of this! COYR

Fact, it was Massengo & then added in Hazard. Not sure why Massengo would be at Chelsea’s training ground though! COYR

Makes me shudder, just thinking about it. COYR

I’m amazed the Alan Curbishley rumours have not been mentioned at this point. COYR

Is it training or a complete lack of common sense? Something that is slowly diminishing in society imo. People like to be told what to do, rather than think for themselves, adapt, adjust. Thinking about it, same on the pitch sometimes. COYR

To be fair, he has popped up with the odd goal. COYR
