Frustrating when you see Kev and Jack in training pics but are then told there’s no timeframe on their return

 

[GaudinoMotors]

Seems like our players stub a toe and it turns into full blown gangrene. Every innocuous knock turns into a month + out.

 

[Victorinodennistua]

Unfortunately we have the dippers all on December 1st away at Anfield, Hopefully we build up a nice points gap before the Dippers away.

They’ve got Real Madrid at home midweek so hopefully they’ll exhaust all their inhalers for that game.

Team almost picks itself? Maybe there's a choice at CB and in CM but that's pretty much it.

Ederson
Lewis Akanji Dias Gvardiol
Kovacic Bernardo Foden
Savinho Haaland Nunes

That's a good team and an easy win. Early subs when up by 4 goals.

 

[Tuearts right boot]

We've always done ok with Kevin, Rodders is more of a problem.

Fuck me , half the first team out injured !

surely u need a better reason than that

I did mean Erling up front!

 

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

except winning the PL every year.

That's not a formality, bh. It's bloody hard work, despite the RDAHMeedya denouncing our skilled workforce and refs turning a blind eye to timewasting until Eddie steps a second or two over the mark.

I have done it for less , lol

Does "Click to edit" track back?

With the current player workload, and only going to get worse, we need to get used to it. Pep likes to work with a small squad, but I’m not sure how realistic that is going forward.

We need Academy players to step up, or into the market in January.

Rodri, Bobb, Walker, de Bruyne, Doku and Grealish all out. Also Stones and Ake are prone to sudden injuries. Leaves us thin on the ground.

When I did that, all my team wore red shirts!

 

[Franny 1234]

I want two City defenders in my dreamteam. Question is which. Diaz,Ake,Akanji,Gvardiol,Stones,Lewis. Pep always changes his defence so it's tricky. CTID

 

[Mr Ed (The Stables)]

We should win this game by at least a two goal margin, hopefully by more.

However it would be great if didn't go behind in the first 15 minutes, with a ball over the top into a channel and then a cross to the back stick for an unmarked unchallenged tap in. You don't need to be Mystic Meg to work out that tactic when we press so high. Really looking forward to tomorrow afternoon can't wait.

 

[NikT]

5-0 with Haaland getting a hattrick and a Foden brace!

 

[levets]

Fucking injuries. What is wrong with Grealish and Walker?

And why is Kev taking so long!?

When is Bobb due back?

Kev was training last Friday & Saturday. I thought he might have got a run out v Prague. Our recovery from injury seems to take longer than we initially expected.
