He should have picked that team against Stoke and we would have won! Priorities wrong way around.

we arent gonna win the league though. surely a cup should be a priority now. the team we had out the other day is good enough swell. btw stop moaning ;)

 

[Benarbia]

Why? He's travelled with the squad and been training with the team all week. How does that suggest finished?

Reports say he he's fit but isn't getting on the bench or game time

 

[Cheadle_hulmeBlue]

watch out for gibson for boro, we've been linked with him quite a bit

 

[Eccles Blue]

Any blues on coaches/minibuses:

Police are pulling all coaches in at the last services, searching coaches and escorting to the ground.

Well we've just pulled in & all they've said is that they'll escort us to the ground & that's what they are doing! Not been searched at all.

Not getting on the bench is hardly a positive, which is a shame.

It's a step closer to previous weeks. He's been in full training for 5 days. I'd say that's a positive.

 

[Uncle Wally One Ball]

I think thats it for Vinny now. Cant see when he will play again this season

I think Guardiola said yesterday he's only been training for 4 days though.

Yep just back training with the team,hardly a right off yet

He's trained fully for 5 days with the team. I wouldn't be reading anything into the fact he's not started today, but then I'm not a reactionary who reads into things that aren't there.

Only needs an injury to someone in the warm up and he'll be added to the bench, that's why more than just the team and subs travel

Jesus, that's some leap there.

 

[Powello]

Have they any injuries

I very much hope you're right.

 

[eyejay51]

Negredo only on the bench for them

 

[Mike N]

I turned down a trial there once, the rest is history haha!

You did the right thing!

 

[Millwallawayveteran1988]

Strong attack and midfield. Let's hope the keeper and defence are ok too!

2-1

 

[superdoopercooper]

Ayala, Friend and Chambers
