What is that I hear? Sounds like a rag talking nonsense. Sergio was injured. Off you trot back to sadcalf.Soon,14 points gap will become 8.... And Aguero isn't good enough for Pep....

You don’t watch defeats?TBH I didn’t watch the match. Did an early start in work, so went to bed for a few hours. Haven’t seen the goals either. Don’t watch our defeats. My partner said the 2nd goal came through Stones and Fern, if correct? I doubt that would have happened if Dias was on the pitch.

No. What’s the point?
Why would any City fan want to watch City get beat?
Obviously I’ll watch a win, and a draw, if it’s an exciting draw.

I think Pep was expected to rest several players today for a very obvious reason. Dortmund are the priority clearly. Even though today did not go as expected the rags still have to win their two games in hand to reduce our lead and three more than City do before we have to win another point. Our lead is still a handsome - and possibly a decisive - one. If it is intact when we play Villa Pep can rotate as much as ever: if not ... might be a different story.
But today's changes seem to me to have caused some possible problems for Wednesday. Today's team included all our left backs; Cancelo and Zinchenko played all 90 minutes, Mendy all but 15 and Ake was substituted after an hour for tactical reasons. I assume Pep does not intend to play a back three and we don't know Laporte is fit yet to play anywhere on Wednesday. So, left back?
The others to play all 90 minutes were Ferna, Bernado, Jesus and Raheem. At 36 Ferna cannot play twice in three days which is a shame because his influence alongside Rodri in what may be a tense last 20 minutes or so. And Bernado would appear to be pencilled in to start on Wednesday either in midfield or up front as a false 9. Jesus also played all 90 but may be brought on against Dortmund to replace Bernardo probably.
As our game next week end is the semi I presume rotation will not be great since we cannot afford to lose, which could could cause difficulties of selection for the league game against Villa. A Spurs victory tomorrow would therefore be very welcome.

Bellingham gone off injured. Not sure if it’s serious.
Dortmund taking no chances with the game versus City looming I expect

After all that and you have some very strong views on a game that you never actually... erm.. viewed.
I don’t really know what to say.

Looks like that. Back of thigh. Thought it was his hamstring, but doesn’t look like that.

"Liverpool get a great boost as Bellingham injured"

I’m being honest. I don’t watch City defeats. The reaction on the post match thread tells me all I need to know. 112 pages.

Which completely goes against what you have been saying. He was their best player against us and if he misses out Wednesday it will be because he played today. Exactly why Pep protected pretty much every player that will start.
