Simple question really, as he seems to be way off the pace suggesting something is troubling him

the thing troubling him is that he's best in a two man forward line and he needs a partner.

Suarez would do.

cheers

Iheanacho would do IMO.

Fuck that, I'd rather pull your teeth!

He doesn't look happy though.

It would not surprise me if he wasn't 100% fit. It's been a long run of games for him which I doubt he is used to. A rest on Saturday and back firing next Tuesday would do fine thanks.

saving himself for the home leg next week
he'll bag a brace to see us into the semis

I think he's been ineffective for a while. Mostly I put this down to the fact that he's surrounded by 3 or 4 defenders every time he receives the ball near the box and so goes looking for it. Two up top (as already mentioned) helps him as there is more space and fewer defenders to cope with.

We are struggling to get him the ball in ideal positions or silva or our other attacking mids try passes but the opposition is so focused on him it works. he looks frustrated. Maybe why we could be in for another top centre forward, and why KDB is so important to us. Bony is clearly off. We require more quality.

Many players are not fully fit aka carrying a knock. Is Silva? He is a waddler when he walks but I think he is generally frustrated.

Kun is bollixed - he needs a rest.
Silva also looks bollixed.
We need to rest them both and Brown this w/e to have them in good shape for 2nd leg.
But cannot as we are desparate for PL points.

Rest Silva now KDB is back. Play Iheanacho up front with Aguero. Sit back and enjoy

We have some tough fixtures left where we can drop points. We simply can't afford to do that against the Brom

Having Nasri and Delph coming back gives us a few more options too

Nasri surely has to start, nacho as well.

Is Nasri fit enough to start? He looked slower than usual against Bournemouth.

It's because we don't attack enough anymore!

Yes

But he's missing shots and stuff he didn't used to. Something's definitely off.

i thought he was gash on weds - coming too, too deep, not pressing anymore and having a bit of a bad attitude in terms of him doing the shrug shoulders numbers

Think he could be rested today.

Wilfs big moment.

Nick - I've suspected for some time that he makes a conscious effort on how he appears on camera, especially just after a missed chance. A sort of posing brought on by too many TV adverts.

Bad habit
