James Maddison

"It's fair to say it's not looking promising."

I thought that after we capitulated after taking a two goal lead at Brighton.

Bit of an odd rumour about City being willing to bid 65M for him

Pep was apparently after him when we got him wasn't he? There was talk at the time they would've gone in harder for him but they had already splashed out on their other signings that summer...

But we may need to score a goal to get through

ok then we keep grey on until we go behind. though i doubt we are going to outscore them with the current midfield of sarr, benta and biss

Not quite sure what Gray can do in midfield. Done extremely well at cb, not so great at rb. Only clips I've seen him play in midfield were for Leeds v Chelsea and he looked very accomplished passing and running with the ball. Think Ange will go with Bentancur and Bissouma with Kulu in front of them.

he's definitely more defensive minded now as seen in the west ham game.
did much better than davies, seasoned professional, too dropping back and abandoning the offside trap when needed

Going to miss Maddison & Bergvall in the Europa League

Indeed

We'll lose the game if we play with an 8. A double pivot is the only way we are progressing. Bent and Biss pretty much managed that in the first leg, but it needs clearer coaching.

I know what you're saying but I think it is imperative to keep Biss away from too much 'deep' responsibility. For me, those are the areas his brain farts could be costly. Not sure any specific coaching will be/can be done in time. We are where we are - 90 mins from a Final!
