Joey Barton isn't up to much these days

Think he's a bit busy in court isn't he?
I'm not sure it's the right discussion though to be honest. Yes, Varane and Martinez are your best two CBs, but the team as a whole is much more compact and hard to play through today.
Think they've already got him lined up to cover the Womens FA Cup final

I don’t think Big Meeks is refering to the players being injured. The entire team looks better and looks like they have a plan and are not only sticking to it, they’re doing it!
More compact, composed and look like a team whose playing as a team. It’s normally headless chickens out there with no idea whats going on. Every man for himself.
Even Amrabat is looking good.

33 different defensive lineups this season might have something to do with that

That is because ETH has been playing like this for the last 2-3 games in preparation for the cup final.

Haaland with a league 2 woodwork rattler.

What do you mean we literally have the worst injury record in the league.
Blood sacrifice with our defence.

It's probably that fact that will cost him his job. ie the fact that he waited until 2 games to go to change the way the team played despite all the injuries. Amrabat was poor vs Brighton but he is much more disciplined in positioning and passing then Casemiro. He's actually made a difference in providing a bit of an anchor. The manager chose to stick with a porous midfield despite the pattern being set in the first match of the season.

We need to dig deep for the next 5-10 minutes because City are piling it on now.
Wey you don't, but yous do have this knack of getting results out of nowhere
It's also much easier to justify playing with a solid midfield and hitting counterattacks where possible against City than it would be against a mid table team.
