Have to replace Zaniolo at half time. He’s worse than a waste of a shirt.

[Sexual Ealing]

JJ on for Zaniolo and we win this.

I thought you weren't watching it?!

I’ve been at a Christmas Market with my family, sounds like I’ve missed a terrible first half reading through this.

We have played some nice stuff at times going forward. Without the ball we are a mess

[SamTheMouse]

Shite. Said at the start that the lineup showed we need to strengthen at right back, and that half just underlined it in fluorescent marker pen.

And Zaniolo has been a waste of a shirt so far.

Thirty years ago I'd have been over the moon to have a full Italian international in claret and blue. Now I can't wait to see him replaced by a young English player who's still not been capped at senior level.

Funny how things change.

Might be worth swapping McGinn and Tielemans over.

Looks like it anyway. They're doing the group warm up, but Diaby has whipped the tracksuit off and has been spoken to a fair bit.

[JUAN PABLO]

well Guardiola wanted Diego Carlos once but wouldnt paid the 80 million , on that goal he looked like a Ł8 player , defence has been poor

dougie has to be scoring that  ,Baileys was a great goal

zaniolo must have his boots on the wrong feet .

Ref has gave us nothing , proper useless and lucky to be in it just .

Now make them changes and lets go finish them off


waiting around for VAR on cold days like this when no need , is just going to get players more injuries

[PeterWithesShin]

We didn't play well but we scored a beauty, had one chalked off and Doug should have scored. Tighten up at the back and we can win this by a couple.

[Jon Crofts]

Cannoli and canneloni would be more effective than Zaniolo.

[Proposition Joe]

Zaniolo a passenger. The lad in blue their best player by a mile. 24 should have walked. They're so fucking snide off the ball.

Semenyo should have gone and Kluivert too is a red waiting to happen

[brontebilly]

Might be worth swapping McGinn and Tielemans over.

Definitely, Tielemans is far too loose in the middle.

[Stinkin_Thinkin]

Emery got the set up wrong again and the 2nd week running just like spurs away we limp to half time before any changes.
Does any one apart from Mourhinio make changes in the first half? I would have shipped Zaniolo for CAsh and moved BAiley up with Watkins.
If its not right against man city from the kick off it will be game over at half time.

It's been painful viewing in all honesty but probably less painful than a christmas market

[Marton]

What the fuck happened to the Zaniolo of Roma and Galatasary?

Betting the low spread against his own team for fun maybe?

[dorsetvillian]

Playing Konsa at right back just seems to create more problems for us than it solves. Difficult half with Zaniolo an absolute liability turning the ball over again and again. Ref bottled the sending off. Just wish we could really turn up against this lot..
