[Tony - MCFC]

Rodri out is as big a blow as we can have.

Gonna give the pre-match Rag circlejerk a miss and see how DeLap gets on playing for Stoke , turn the derby match back on at 1.59pm and mute the commentary , job done.

Need to make sure we don’t get countered and suckered by one of their punts into the channels when the ball breaks down. Come on City.

You know it's going to happen

Rodri missing is a massive massive blow FFS

If Rodri is out it's got to be KDB, Gundogan and Bernardo in the middle.

Bernardo will be key for his energy

He's always on the money fella...

Rodri being out is probably the worst case scenario but I do trust Gundo to come in and do a job. Like 18/19 season when Ferna was out injured.

 

[deano ou812]

Just flood the midfield and front line with attackers just go at the cnuts ..

 

[crazyg]

Hope you feel better soon, if you change your mind and decide to go, I’ll happily give you a lift. I’m in Stockport and will be leaving home around noon.

Thanks for the offer, but I'm too tired atm. That's the problem with my condition.

Never said he wasn’t.

I don't think we've really hit form yet this season and are still trying to find the best way to fit players into the system. Would be nice if we can get it all together today. We will be unstoppable if/when we do.

Someone's touchy haha he's hardly going to tell you his source is he?? Lol

Rodri out

That’s a blow. No Phillips as a back up. The options are very limited.

Not touchy at all but thanks for your concern

Ffs Rodri out is a huge blow ..

Absolute bummer. Opens up for Mahrez which shouldn't be anywhere near the starting lineup in a high intensity match which I'm sure this'll be. I pray for Alvarez getting a chance and running the vermin ragged.

Hopefully not long term, especially with Phillips out as you say. Typical that Rodri went all last season without an injury despite no cover now we’ve got cover and they’re both out!

Terrible news on Rodri
Not as confident now

 

[Tangled up in blue.]

That's fucked it
