Hope Pelegrini's had his flu jab this year.
He looks close to death at the best of times...he might not hang on till full time in this weather.

Why does City's ground have so many empty seats?

Fulham really proving the theory that you can make too many signings. I don't think ive ever seen it work out when a club recruits over 10 players, no matter how good they are.

Is it too optimistic to think that southampton will get something tomorrow? They really need a win.

Agree to a point, but not sure it’s just that. When I saw them last year I thought I’d like them to go up because they play excellent football, but defensively they looked like they could struggle making the step up and so it has proved to be.

Yeah, they were never solid watching them in the championship. I just dont think you can change 6 out of your back 7 unit as they did opening day.

They've also failed to have any consistency in defence...I understand why, they've been shit. But the teams that chop and change massively never seem to succeed.

I didn’t realise they had changed so many defenders. Yeah that seems a strange one, especially as if they have made changes they don’t seem to have made clever defensive signings.

I haven’t seen that much of them and obviously confidence is low, but watching them now and they just look completely naive. Lovely to watch, but trying to overplay it, plus taking stupid risks and every time West Ham attack they seem to find at least one player who is completely unmarked in a dangerous position.

Raineri has his work cut out as I can only see them going down on this evidence.

I think they've got some of the old ones back in....does include odoi and Christie though. They'll probably sign another bunch very soon.

I keep watching them and thinking 'oh they'll turn it round' with mitrovic goals and decent ball players, but not when you need 3 each week for the draw.
