Dias needs shipping. He'll cost us this season.

We've had the best of him a few years ago.

100% Plus his constant want to become a celebrity is a bit grating.

more interested in fashion shoots than defending over the last 2 seasons. These days he seems pretty indistinguishable from Mangala but with less pace

Watched the 2nd half of that game yesterday on the city channel, despite it being 1pm I found it very hard to stay awake.
I really dont know why anyone gets bothered about these games, a decent training session would probably do the lads better.

I watched the whole match and I agree that Monga looks a great prospect and the confidence he shows at 17 is remarkable. I disagree with the Reis/Dias comparison. I thought Reis looked a bit wobbly and some of his passing was off kilter. We all know that Dias is a great defender when he’s on it, but he’s been like Foden…..off colour for two seasons. It’s time for both of them to step up to what we know they are capable of otherwise they’ll be bit part players. I’m very excited and looking forward to the post Pep era, we have a great squad and will surely be challenging for all the major honours once again.
