Kompany was the spine, Yaya was the force and Silva the brain and Heart . We need current team members to step up to the mark and take the transplant . The one thing we need more is a new striker, world class to replace the unreplaceable!! Laporte can do the spine Foden can be the brain and Heart , Sane sadly was the force to replace Yaya ( score a goal when we needed one) Torres is shaping to do this but will need time. Pep staying is brilliant , don’t give a shit what anyone says and he knows he has to find a new formula and he is probably the only man around that can do this!! We need to be totally behind our team right now or else this could turn into something very very un-nerving for us. Keep the faith and believe, alll teams that have done what we have have to replace ageing players and that creates where we are now!! CTID.

We’ve still not replaced Kolarov. That’s the be all and end all of it imo.

You could bring Messi and Ronaldo in their prime and we'll still be average if the tactics and supply are shite. Again it's not the players, something fundimentally isn't right. Seriously, even at our worst form we shouldn't be mid table. That's not all down to the players ffs

Anyone that starts Mahrez ahead of any player in the squad, needs a good slap around the ears.

I think Ake is more than just a squad player. I would like to see him used as a defensive midfielder instead of Rodri/Gundo. He's intelligent, reads the game well and has some pace. We transformed Vinnie from midfield to one of the best defenders in world football why not Ake the other way round. Just a thought.

We are lacking leaders.
Exactly that.

Plus some players need a new challenge far away from here.

Will include both Gundo and Rodders this evening once more

Pep married the academy with his stars at Barca when he took over, we need a freshen up. As said above some are not producing and need to be shipped out. How many like Stones, Bernado, Mahrez, are offering any more than we would get from bringing in a younger player or a few.
