Ffs.. surely Ake isn’t injured?

injured groin

It's entirely possible he's recovering from an injury and/or Pep doesn't want to risk him tonight with both Ake and Laporte injured.

Could be but isn't John always injured or recovering.
He was on the bench against Arse and has been training with the group.

Ake had a brilliant injury record at Bournemouth, comes here and he’s fucked within a month. Hopefully them niggles are just niggles.

Groin ‘niggles’ apparently

What is it with us and injuries?? Like all of them the minor injury will probably stretch into months.

Shit!

Pep clearly has seen something in training which makes him chose Garcia over stones

Trust in Pep. Don't think its favoritism. We all remember the famous press conference defending stones, saying he is bigger balls than anyone there

Can only infer thay according to Pep, Garcia is simply better than Stones

Sorry but it was very evident in Portugal a few months ago that he’s not up to the job. If he can’t deduce that from that game then I clearly had a blind spot with him.

Are we on anything tonight ?

Some posters are :)

 

[EL APACHE TEVEZ]

What the fucks this start

 

[razman]

Yes what he saw in training was that Eric Garcia is from the same geographic region as himself.

So u would be implying Pep is unprofessional and practices favoritism

Personally, I don't want Garcia to even be in the squad!

It is what it is. Stones as per the most important man, isn't good enough going by his selection.

The gypsy curse is back!
