[69FACUPfinal]

Is Stones injured?

Not that I'm aware of, but maybe Pep resting him and keeping under wraps as JB tends to gather injuries. Let's hope he stays away from Engerrland in a few weeks.

I am upset, I am not a happy bunny. We will win, of course, but who do I vote for as MOTM??? No John Stones, @jimharri please will you put him on the list so that I can vote for him anyway................ I am of course joking about that but where is John Stones?

Pep with Kev this week:

 

[KearsleyBlue]

I do wonder if it's time to give Nico O a chance.....that midfield combo of kova and gundo ain't great in transitions.

He's not good enough

 

[MCFC1993]

Stones might be completely rested, did play 90mins on Wednesday.

Dias probably didn't intend to play on Wednesday either.

So not too concerned they're not there today, until we hear differently anyway.

 

[Haaland94]

Happy with that team. I am guessing Savinho is not fully fit, and the likes od KDB/Jeremy Doku are not fully up to speed yet. Therefore, that's the best we've got, but I do wonder what happened to John and Ruben...

Pep with Kev this week:

After getting healed ,I would gladly return the favor with double force

 

[Buckshaw Blue]

Where the fuck are Stones and Dias?

I’m guessing they have “niggles”

He won't be getting his hatrick today anyway.

Wow....did you foget to add the ' yet' bit into your statement or are you completely righting him off already?

I heard he was putting on his slippers last night, and pulled a hamstring m

 

[Eccles Blue]

Great post Mrs EB, you do make me laugh, your love of Johnny Boulders is akin to a 13 year old's adoration of a boy band :-).

*lol* thank you (I think) it's partly because he reminds me of my sons and my grandson. Also because he is a great footballer and he is sensible and doesn't get involved in any shenanigans off pitch. :-)

Well atleast he didn’t pull his groin

 

[mike1923]

Kevin!!!

 

[Haaland94]

On another none, we are currently relying on another Matheus Nunes masterclass, isn't life unpredictable ;)? Who would have thought. Matheus Nunes two assists for two Haaland goals today, and another MOTM performance, please.

 

[ufo]

Kevin!!!

Philips?

 

[Lovebitesandeveryfing]

Actually, that's a somewhat stronger team than I expected. What I now wonder is if the people on the bench are just there for show, or whether they could, at a push, play twenty minutes or so at a decent rhythm. If not, why put them there?

 

[shadygiz]

Kev on the bench

I still believe we need his athleticism in the midfield versus on the wing, but I'm glad he's getting a run of games.

Pep told the press fuck all for a reason..
