Why’s Marmoush not in the squad?

Is that a serious question?

 

[heslops barnet]

Had to turn the volume off

Surprised you lasted so long

Think the reason khusanov doesn’t play so much is his rashness with giving away challenges.

Just what we need every now and then, instead of opposition waltzing through our weak challenges... painful to watch at times

 

[5 Hit Gibbon]

I managed to miss the first 6 mins as I thought it was an 8pm kick off!

 

[Gobshiight]

Fuck off ref and fuck off Hinchcliffe

 

[hertsblue]

Yet another soft referee

Same cheat we recently had at Newcastle

 

[Penworthamblue]

Couldn't go tonight as I'm working nights so having to watch on the TV, sound is going off, not listening to that sour twat Hinchcliffe

 

[Chak19]

Fucking **** of a ref, City should've really written a complaint after the Newcastle game so this twat couldn't ref us again so soon.

 

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

Foul the other way that you cheat!!!

Brilliant tackler but he sometimes is a bit too aggressive.

 

[jamesha]

Lots of rust on display

Brilliant tackler but he sometimes is a bit too aggressive.

Fans love that, manager probably not so much.

Just what we need at the back

Yeah I get both opinions but I imagine pep goes mad for going away free kicks etc instead of stepping away and regaining possession. But who doesn’t love a good challenge ;)

 

[pudge]

Reijnders you are dirt

 

[Gaylord du Bois]

Why’s Marmoush not in the squad?

We've loaned him out to Egypt.

 

[Chak19]

Genuinely surprised - assumed it would be all XI changed, maybe Pep looked at Leverkusen and though naaahhh

Yeah but that was a CL game, couldn't care less about the Carabao cup these days.

 

[theholysmurf]

I wonder…
I personally was certain it was an 8:00, but then i’ve checked the team at 7 and realised it’s an early one.
Maybe others had the same idea?

Edit: The amount of people coming in late to the Etihad makes me think ut wasn’t well advertised as an early kick-off, maybe I’m wrong.

Same with me!

 

[paulchapo]

Not sure this team has enough to win this.

 

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

A little bit casual there from Nico.
