De Bruyne injury - Back in Training (p89)

mccity said:
Let's try be optimistic too. Imagine if Gundogan steps up with consistent playing time? Or what if Bernardo comes in and plays like he did against Chelsea every week? Or even what if Mahrez goes in there and starts playing like he did in pre-season? Maybe Fernandinho might be pushed forward and go back to his Shakhtar attacking form? Maybe we'll change our formation to accommodate for the problem and we'll discover an even greater means of playing?

Internally, this will be the response the club demands. Somebody is going to have to step up. Obviously pragmatically that may not happen; Gundogan blows hot and cold and the other two aren't exactly accustomed to the role.

But you can be damn sure Pep won't settle for less.

We're in as good a position as any team in the world, through sheer depth and managerial mentality, to handle an injury to our star player like this.



Maybe you're right, maybe if he's out for a while our CL campaign will be doomed to fail. One can never deny the quality and impact a player like KDB has. But we're 100% not going to have any success if we have this lack of faith. The key to our success has been our winning mentality, just listen to the recent interviews with Kompany, Walker and Pep on Sky.

Whilst we as fans have less of an impact on that, if collectively we're all on the same page it'll seep through. Whether for right or wrong, the club will still be confident of progress and success, so maybe we should be at least a bit upbeat about it too?

Good stuff you are putting on a brave face and looking for positives. It has still ruined my Wednesday though!!

Everything seems to be falling into place for the dippers at the moment but it won’t last. Remember we have the best manager of all time and a fantastic squad. Obviously this is a major blow but come the end of the season I still think we will be the ones with the trophies, the dippers will be left with phlegm rash

How, after only one game, is everything falling into place for the Scouse ****s?

Get well soon Kev, fucking gutted but shit like this always happens when the treatment room is empty.
 
Terrible news, he is the real engine on our team.
All those people saying we will be just fine without another midfield signing, I guess now we get to find out.

Silva
Bernardo
Mahrez
Dinho
Gundogan
Foden
6 players bang in form, 5 of them very experienced, to take 3 places for the majority of games.
Diaz
Dinho
Delph
Zinchenko
Danilo
Gomes
6 players to fill in and as when needed.

You go show that list to a supporter of any other club in the world and try to tell them we're down to the bare bones in midfield, they'll laugh.

Not saying we won't survive but when you lose what is probably your best player it hurts and the longer he is out the more it hurts.
 
It'll hurt us as he's more direct than our other midfield players but i trust the other players and Pep enough to know that we'll cope

Have you seen our squad...? Gutting news, but I think we'll be alright.
 
Well, this ruined my day, get well soon Kev!

However, what a marker we'll put down if we win more or less everything with KDB on the sidelines, will be pretty devastating for our rivals.
