Im a happy blue

[South Stand Balti]

I'll decide if I'm happy or not after the Stoke game. Pleased to win against Sunderland but they had s poor midfield line up though this was followed by a great win over our bemused Champs league opponents. I can't wait for the Stoke game.....it will be a real indicator of where we are at. I will be interested to see how we go with our system, how Willy stands up to the long ball stuff and how Sterling and others perform given a promising start so far. I also think we need a top notch striker added to the squad.

We won every game in August last year, so I'm holding fire. Admittedly our new manager has a greater tactical range, but ask me in February.

Well I'm not convinced that Pep needs an out-and out-striker for his system to work as his system is adaptable and goals will come from the attacking midfield players, of which we have an abundance. We also have an abundance of young talent, albeit not all available at the moment (unless the loan terms allow early release), from which Pep could select and hopefully will over the next few years as Aguero's contract runs down and Iheanacho learns his trade.

Of course Pep may decide that none are suitable and sells them but I guess we just have to trust him not to let another Suarez go.

Our new system under pep demands a lone top class striker not only to score goals but to run his bollocks off , Aguero will get us 25 plus goals this season maybe a few more if he stays fit , but most of us just know he will get an injury at some stage of the season ,To be successful in just the Premier League Iheanacho needs to score around 20 goals this season , KDB around 15 goals , Sterling , Nolito and Sane 10 goals each , then Silva and a few others scoring a few aswell . That is the perfect scenario and goal ratio we need just to win the Premier League ........ now then there is the CL , FA Cup and Carling cup or whatever it is called now , SO IT IS blindingly obvious we need ANOTHER TOP CLASS striker to share the workload during a hectic season where players will get injured and fucked due to THE NEW HIGH TEMPO demands of OUR NEW SYSTEM . Jesus is only with us for the last 3 and a bit months of the season and that's if he hits the ground running !

Can Nolito not play up front?

Can Nolito not play up front?

Don't think so pal , maybe as a makeshift striker if needs must ? Will be interesting when Sane is fully fit who plays where out wide . I would think Sane is number one choice ahead of Nolito and Sterling ?

Aguero's wearing 10 and playing as a number 9.

Confused?

I thought I'd read he could, my mind must be playing tricks

[ScapeGoat]

Surely Aguero and Iheanacho are enough until January when Jesus arrives. Pep's teams ideally consist of a ball playing keeper and 10 midfielders anyway.
