We have fuck all to lose and several players to burn out, and as Villa is in reality not looking winnable let's throw caution to the wind.

I’d play Nico O’reilly next to Kovacic for this. Is he better than Gundo? No however I can guarantee he’ll run his fucking bollocks off.

Our intensity in/out of possession has been a joke during this run. It’s time to give these kids a chance now they can’t do any worse than our ‘experienced’ players
 
He can not play Gundy, Walker, Kev, Nunes or Eddie anymore. Not sure erling deserves a spot either. He was a disgrace today

We are in such a mess & pep showing loyalty to old players now & it’s costing us
Baby meet bathwater!

I understand the sentiment, but there's little chance that Guardiola is going to change tack now and throw the kids in for Villa away. Bracing myself for more of the same, with presumably the same results. Hopefully getting a few players back (Stones, Kovacic, Akanji?) can give us a bit of impetus to stop the rot.
 
We are going to get slapped here Im afraid. We simply cant deal with their runners in midfield and energy all over the pitch.

Everton and Leicester are games we might get something from given a favourable wind, but forget it on Saturday - we'll concede at least 3.

Just read someone called Peter Bankes will ref the game - tbh Mike Summerbee could ref it and we'd still lose.

Like a lot of referees has undergone a dramatic career change. Used to be involved in security at Maine Road

Yep, comical mistakes in defence, no energy, Erling marked out of the game. Rinse and repeat!
 
Got to hope for a win but maybe that's not likely, but not for want of trying with the players available - and those available are running on empty.

Just have to keep going until January when new players come in.

We also desperately need the defenders to be back, but Stones and Ake are regular sicknotes right now.

Hopefully 6 days between games will have recharged the batteries of a few. And hoping having kovacic and possibly stones back will make us a bit more solid.

Stones should be ready to start seeing as he nearly came on for the last few minutes against the rags

Kovacic should be ready to start

Lewis is back available

Hopefully those 3 changes will refresh the team and we'll see an improvement
 
Every game at the moment looks like we can and will lose and it's ok with everybody at the club because we all know the reason, Rodri's injury ? it's even got to the point where we will be fine come the transfer window and we can bring in somebody and everything will be back on track

Ok 4 titles in a row and 6 from 7 seasons gives everybody a free pass this season or it seems that way
But Should the club be allowed to be in a mess because of one player having a long-term injury

I know there are other injuries and problems with burnout, but looking at the starting lineup at the derby should we be in such a mess and clueless, There is nothing ? No pressing, No movement, No hunger, No desire, No closing down, No tackles, Question is does Pep have control or the power to rip them a new arsehole in the dressing room

Villa will fancy it and they know they have beaten us when we were doing good and winning every week

I said the other week we have 4 Premier League games before the transfer window opens and the opportunity to bring in some new faces to give everybody a lift and help sort out the mess and hope for a good 2nd half of the season.
But 1 game down 3 to play and no more points in the bank to stop the fall from grace we could be 10th or lower and dare I say it United above us,

It is time to roll up your sleeves show some fight and earn the 3 points that we so badly need
No more we have injuries ? that starting 11 and bench against United should have been enough to win the derby.

In fact United was so poor I thought they waved the white flag themselves and wanted the game over before we fucked up and handed it them on a plate

If we field those 2 players listed as full-backs on Saturday at Villa then my arse is a fire engine
