[The Black Shed]

Anyone think we might see Palmer on as a sub later in the game?

Down to the bare bones on the bench

Every club in the world would be happy to have Kev, Phil, Mahrez and Torres as an option to come on.

Would have started foden instead of sterling, needs the minutes with cvelsea psg and Liverpool coming up but otherwise no complaints.

Whilst many go on about our squad depth, the bench shows just how thin our squad actually is, barr bones already and there's only 4 players (5 with Mendy) missing which isn't unusual at all.

We're a Walker/Cancelo injury away from having a big hole

 

[M Gaudino]

100% this. Credit to the fella!

could be the making of him at city if he has a good game and no doubt Pep would single him out for praise

 

[PannickAtTheDisco]

what has Sterling done to deserve a start?

 

[Don Karleone]

Surprised to see him being there tbh

From the sound of it, we don't have much choice. Still impressive though.

 

[Eccles Blue]

The Boys in Blue never give in, they fight to the end. Come on City come on City. Show ‘em lads, show ‘em all.

 

[Octavian]

Fair play to Ake, not sure I could concentrate on football after the week he's had.

Let’s get behind him today
