terrible finish. 
Compare the composure and finish of Aguero's first goal against Bournemouth overnight, more bodies around him, less time to see the ball come to him and react. Yet takes a touch and places it in the corner, that's where goal scorers place there shots if they don't have the time to pick there spot.
That's the difference, that's what a goal scorer needs to do. 
 

Think Jose's time has come n gone in Prem. Think his methods are outdated now.

You know to sell something there has to be a buyer right?
and then you need the player to agree too? 
But yeah, should have sold the player who didn’t want to leave, to a club that didn’t want to buy him. 

Is it too early to try for Mourinho? I'm very confident that he's the manger who will get us in Top6. If he doesn't I don't know who else could (realistically a better manager within our reach).

No.
Look at the players 1st: Back 4 is the back 4. Is this Silvas fault?
Midfield: Lots of change following transfers (late too), need to know each other. Regulars gone mising (Siggy / Schneids), Davies is not going to make it.
Forwards: DCL is not the answer, works hard but does not create, score or allow others to score. Kean is too early to judge.
Still lots of inherited deadwood and problems from prev regime before we can blame Silva

Digne is fit the question is how fit; because he is so integral and such a great player it might be best to rest him and let baines go.  He’s such a good backup we wouldn’t miss a beat and we wouldn’t risk one of our best players.  I trust Marco though.  This shows how smart it was to keep baines.

Its the pick of the 3 for me.

Think I'd like to go old school 4-4-2 for this one with a bit of rotation and starts for new recruits. Holgate and Davies need to show they can be called upon when needed.

Dont think we could line up differently to be honest what with injuries and suspensions today. Too early for new recruits. Expect League Cup to be first sign of starting places for them

Go and ask Man City if it means nothing. It was the start of their trophy haul in the recent years.
Honestly cant believe I've read people turning their nose up at a meaningful trophy. Absolute disgrace that.

Walk away. Focus on a Cb. 

Ffs This is where I stand...
 
Not sure I wanted/though we'd want Saha in the summsr BUT we need a new winger now Lookmans gone - be it Zaha / Malcolm / Leao  / Neres et al... if we get anyone of those it will improve the team we have today. 
 
If we can shed the wages of Tosun, McCarthy as part of the deal even better - we aren't going to get good money back in for either of them - no ones intersted apart from palace.
 

Which reminds me I saw this on Ebay the other day, bound to get a lot of bidders😂.

New away kit 🤐

Weve not seen the real McCarthy for probs 3 yrs - we've moved on. Think the reported 8m is a bonus myself

Great deal and price.  Move him on already

This was a signing to make 5 yrs ago. Good player - not right for us now.

I don't think it's a bad deal at all, but I really hope the intent of the signing isn't to replace Gana, because he can't and won't.
Happy to be proven wrong though.
 

Hes no Barry or Milner though. Cant get excited about this at all.

Not a fan sorry...not even a grower for me. Reminds me of the seat fabric on public transport.
Eager to see Away & 3rd strips now (hoping there are no neon colours this time too)

Not sure which way this one will go. Indications are that Zouma would want the move if hes not given reassurances of enough game time but Chelsea dont have to sell him as he has loads of time left on his contract.
Guess it would depend where hes rated against the other young CBs they have knocking on the door of their squad/starting XI.
They may want to take the rumoured £30m money to help with their FFP on a squad player who they may think can be replaced with youth.
What I'd like us to do though is give some time deadline of a decision and move on if they are not interested in selling - could disrupt our whole plans for defence this summer window
