    If I remember correctly Aguero got 2 goals and an assist off the bench on his City debut. Fellow Negredo owners, keep the faith.

    I'm not sure this MNF with Neville and Carra really works. Liverpool fan talking here but Neville on is own was superb and I'm struggling to see what Carra adds. It ruins the dynamic a little. Would have preferred to see them use Carra more for the half-time discussions and leave Neville all alone at what he does best.

      Struggling on the Mirallas/Barkley option. But with M so it would be a sideways transfer and potentially risky. Barkley is certainly on the watch list if he continues as he has started. I compared his stats to Coutinho and he lost 5-4!

      I used the word trounced, altough tortured may perhaps be approapiate. It is very typical of a "big" team to search for excuses, and to deflect the blame when a lesser side, who play with pace, passion and to a high level get from a game what they deserve. Arsenal against a team who carry the record for most goals conceded in the history of the PL created last season, managed to score once. Read the warning signs.

      I'd have thought that Aguero will only get an hour - surprised he's even out there. Dzeko to get a tad longer I'd say, depending on the match situation.

        Do you think Dzeko will get a run of games as a starter?

      Aguero had hardly no pre-season so he won't last the 90
