Segway I don't know what to do with him. I don't think he should get any serious minutes in these last few games unless its like last night and we are coasting. If we sign a midfielder like Bruno G is there any place for him after that? He's 24 next week, is he too old to loan? He's not going to develop with the minutes he currently gets. There is talent there but it wont appear without him playing a lot more football.
Qwiss I do not want that Bruno scumbag at this club.

I actually think signing Bruno could help unlock playing time for him actually. I think a Rice-Bruno-Vieira midfield makes sense in a way that no other midfield featuring Vieira has made a lot of sense in his time here. I think the big thing with Vieira is that he's an otherwise talented player that just turns the ball over too much. He can win you the game but you need to have two really good defensive partners for him to make sure he doesn't lose you the game. We've never really had that in any serious way which I think has been a contributor to his lack of game time.
Asterix it was 3 AM where I'm now, and it was the 3rd game at this insane hour for me, and I was thinking about all our fans doing this for every game. You really are amazing, I don't know if I could do it week in week out
Qwiss Not a headline grabber or game changer but I thought Vieira looked sharp in his few minutes last night.
Before that diabolical red card and injury he had looked ok earlier in the season. Was making great cameo appearances for us. One thing I like about him he is quite comfortable and able to take risks that other players don't with his passing. I think he could still be very valuable off the bench.
He's got great ball striking technique. Tends to look great as a sub and then goes completely missing when he starts. He seems to be mainly Odegaard's understudy so him getting minutes is largely dependent on us going far in the domestic cups, which we've been terrible at in recent years. I think he's worth persisting with for another season but it's risky.
Pepe LeFrits He's got great ball striking technique. Tends to look great as a sub and then goes completely missing when he starts.
Feels a very similar story to Trossard until recently. And he's playing in a league he's already familiar with.
He showed some promise in the minutes he got just before injury. Think he just needs consistent minutes before he should be ruled out.
True but I think Arteta needs to show more faith and rotate as well, I think this season against Bayern and Villa you could see physically we looked dead on our feet. He needs to use his squad better
He's looked fine the last couple of games.
Hilarious
Tam yeah I was pleased he was trying to make an impact even though it didn't work out every time, instead of his previous passive nothingness that's so ingrained into many of our minds.
Don Pacifico Think he just needs consistent minutes before he should be ruled out.
Yeah but how does he get those minutes?
Qwiss by rotating out Odegaard more often earlier in the season.
Don Pacifico we were a lot poorer early in the season, not sure we'd have managed to give Vieira games without a serious drop off. Plus we were already missing Partey and trying to bed in Kai. Probably would have cost us points.
First team in history to win 3 London derbies in one season by 5+ goals.
Need to make it 4
I’m fine with just the 2-0 versus Spurs. It’s United I wish to humiliate. Their fans really want city to win the league over us.

I would give my left bollock to thrash United at OT. Bear in mind, I already gave my right to thrash Chelsea, so would have to transition for the greater cause.
Still watching highlights from last night. Maybe it’s relative to our own game, but one thing that stands out is Chelsea didn’t put any pressure on us when we attacked. Our could pass or drive the ball completely unhindered. Like playing against 10 Rashfords.
Claudius Poch said they gave up very early on

Just need his old team to do the same thing now.
Big Willie have to break their will the same way as last season where it became a training session after 2-0
