They're not pointless, the new players need to get games together , we kick off in just over 2 weeks & we're no where near ready.

Injuries are part and parcel of the game. If we go into the first match with just Mendy missing we will be in excellent shape.
 
Isn't Mendy quite prone to the odd niggling injury? Seems to be one for picking them up quite frequently. Some players just are. This is why it's such a huge risk going with just 3 players for 2 positions. 1 injury and you're down to the bare bones, it makes us more predictable to the opposition and leaves no chance to rotate or rest which is crucial in the most physically demanding position on the pitch. If we're relying on Fernandinho as cover it's going to cost us dearly as he very clearly is not a fullback and despite giving his all gets ripped apart every single time he plays there. If it's a money issue and a choice between a fullback and a new centre half then I'd much much rather see Mangala at centre half than Fernandinho at fullback.
 
Guardiola has just confirmed he won't be fit for the start of the season, which is a shame. Danilo looks like decent cover though.

He did,and its also a reason i'd be keeping Mangala.He has a brilliant attitude and as left sided defensive cover,i don't think we could do much better.
