Christ, didnot notice Laporte missing. He’s already had it, must have a knock.

There’s something strange going on with Laporte. Since his last injury we’ve barely seen him. He has either not made a full recovery or has fallen out of favour for some reason.

I remember the French manager saying the reasons he was not in the national team were not football related. I have no idea what that means but you have to wonder.

 

[BringBackSwales]

Shit. Wonder what’s happening with Eric??
Hope it’s nothing serious or the tantrums.

What tantrums? Where the fuck did you drag that from?

 

[xgorton]

Let's get this won and move into top 5.

Really big chance for Foden to be a real pest to them today. Let’s see if Raz gives a Fück today.
Good to see Cancelo there too.

So CB - what is it you don’t like about Raz

 

[DMA's]

Typical now Chelsea decide to play werner through the middle and not Abraham. Gonna be tough keeping pulisic, Werner and zyiech quiet also not completely sold on Stefan either his distribution looked a bit suspect to me

 

[bluemcr]

Gonna be a long afternoon.

 

[balotelli's back pocket]

Not happy with that at all, stick one of the youngsters in instead of that balloon.

The story didn't break until we'd already travelled, and there are 3 kids on the bench already.

 

[Kippax77]

I just don't trust zinchenko but what other choice have we got, Mendy???
LB is still our achilles heel and this is where we will be targeted today.
Please give us a big performance today Raz, this team can't be carrying passengers today

 

[wolfie1988]

Probably keeping Laporte and Ake away from the squad incase any of our centre halves go down with Covid.

 

[stonerblue]

Foden down the middle running at them llease

 

[Cityinmud]

Nervous about zinchenko and Zack!!

 

[CC1]

You can test positive more than once I’m sure?

Oh right - didn’t think you could have it twice.

 

[lionheart]

Just put a fiver on Chelsea to win 4-0 at 100/1 as I cannot see KDB being the required motivator as City skipper. Dinho should have been given the job today.

 

[bluealf]

Yes good point, where the hell are they?

Peps words were 'we aren't allowed to name the players with Covid, you will see at the next game'

Now, do we just guess/assume they are covid victims?

 

[Stelea]

Sums Mahrez and Mendy up. Can’t even get in the COVID Stricken 11.

 

[Brightwell Bros.]

You can test positive more than once I’m sure?

It's very, very rare to catch it twice. False positives are a more likely possibility, but I don't remember him catching it before?

 

[kaz7]

eric has had covid already

he has struggled to get back , two of the geordies have long covid so makes you wonder

Pep might reveal something in a min

 

[Cityinmud]

Laporte and ake injured ffs

What a waste of a fiver. We will dick them.

A hunch.....but i suspect its the not giving a fuck part
