Having watched MOTD and calmed down the difference was Che not staying onside whilst Watkins did and AA not burying that golden chance in the second half So in essence as it’s been for a long time two strikers with more poise experience whatever needed for those fine margin moments

This game is key for so many reasons need the points get the fans back inside get a bit of belief in Jones and start looking upwards before so many emotional cup games

Spot on Glen thanks for making me feel better in that I am a diehard STH who made a rare but conscious decision not to go based on the 3 previous home games and the fact it was live on Sky which I had already paid for. So I have missed three home games this season and guess what? We have won them all. Life is not always fair!

These next two games are so important together and in isolation; Everton as they are so close and it’s immediately after the City performance; Villa because it’s at home and the bulk of unconvinced season ticket holders like me need to see a totally different team than that versus Forest We need at least 4/6 but for NJ’s sake 6/6

I am so disappointed that I have decided not to attend a home game because of the hassle of a later evening kickoff and because it’s on Sky which in effect I have already paid for; let alone because it’s against City and I fear a thumping!!

I always think with these transfer rumours is put yourself in the player’s boots and ask why would I want to go to Southampton? Has to be a hook somewhere an overriding reason

Amended 5 relegation followed by guaranteed promotion coming back up much stronger and the club reunited

Backs to the wall draw

Could we really play Lyanco as a Micky Evans number 9??

Has to be 442 with DCC in the back four Diallo instead of AMN and Aribo and Stuart starting

Is Mara really worse than AA?? And I think CC could be the answer in a back four with either MS or ABK

Adams Aribo and Armstrong to score AAA batteries in big demand around Xmas

A reasonable précis based on realistically very little hard evidence as far as the last month goes Perraud seems to feature prominently so expect wing backs but the big question for me is whether Mara gets to play up front with Adams

Spot on (excuse the pun!) Turkish! His run up was all wrong though standing foot too far forward and it gave way a bit… Oh for Rickie Lambert at Millwall!!!

Two home draws 3 on the trot at home proper gorging!

Well I would imagine for those of us aged 55 and over it has to be Bobby Stokes at Wembley in 1976 just for sheer pandemonium joy elation dreams and never ending memories Then the last real goal at the Dell from MLT which made me cry for what it meant

Only question is why don’t our worst players get injured not our best four??? trying too hard maybe??

Super Jo Aribo! looked fantastic when he first played just like AA and a few others before him and now also Mara and AMN Just what do they do to them tactically and mentally in training as it’s bewildering and beyond me

I have been there whilst I was working in Turkey as most Turks will tell you apart from the big 3 in Istanbul only Trabzon gets close to being a big club despite Ankara Izmir and Antalya being large cities in terms of population

Much rather 2 scrappy wins and a defeat than 3 draws

Seriously I would play Caballero behind a 3-5-2 formation with Che and AA up front to run the channels/wings and try to get as many throw ins as possible time wasting and disrupting the flow of the game All about sensible game management and try and keep the ball in their half as long as possible whilst not committing too many men forward

Haaland scored already sofa time

4 or 5 maximum and at least we will score 1

They will field a second 11 against us as they have CL games before and after…

Has anyone got Covid? If so please sneak into City’s training ground this week and slobber over as many players as possible after cuddling Haaland and take a really big one for the team!
