Kompany was asked about his, and look where that's got him, players will always say they're fit, they'll play.They are all tested and asked about their fitness.
Dinho just has a huge engine in him.

I know Fernandhino has a huge engine, but we'll also need it in Feb/Mar/Apr too.
Tough decisions need to be made, and yes he was great today, my man of the match (again), but when his form or effort dips we'll miss him more than anyone else, yet Silva, Gundogan, de Bruyne, Stones plenty of rest in comparison.
Absolutely this. Some of the comments pre game were a fucking disgrace from people that should really know an awful lot better.
I thought Kolarov played very well given the pressure of the long ball they put on us, Fernando too, who's match stats were pretty impressive, but he also looked good on the eye too, doing his job well.Kolarov and Otamendi are both fucking brainless liabilities.
Well obviously not as some were benched or rested completely.Kompany was asked about his, and look where that's got him, players will always say they're fit, they'll play.

Neither of us have any idea who was asked or not, or what the fitness people are saying. My point is that some get rested regularly, whilst others run the risk of being run into the ground if they don't get some rest.Well obviously not as some were benched or rested completely.
Its been a great week for results for sure, a bigger thing is twice we've come from behind to get good results, which shows the spirit is very good.6 points from two tricky away games, Champs League qualification from group stage and currently top of the league - all without really playing well.
We've had worse weeks!
Burnley fans -disgrace cheering sterling getting injured and the chants aimed at him...on that pure basis alone I hope they get continually relegated with their pub brand of football and 6 fingered fans.
Finding someone full stop won't be easy. Not sure there is one out there. I'd gamble on Van Dijk.
If it doesn't work, we still have the current ones. And Pep is not a manager who starts new signings regularly just because they are there, he makes them earn it.
Exactly. But I reckon Pep knows which is why I'm not questioning him on those decisions.Neither of us have any idea who was asked or not, or what the fitness people are saying.

We'll badly miss Fernandhino when he runs out of steam, as I'm sure you'll agree, all I'm saying is from the outside looking in, it looks a risk.
I have never understood this jump on the bandwagon mentally of booing him, I bet half the inbred fuckwitts done even know why they're doing itAbsolutely this. Fuck the result, fuck the performance, I was and still am livid at Sterling's treatment. Absolute sets of ****s. The sooner clubs' fans worry about their own shit brand of football and less about what Raheem earns/posts on social media/eats/does the better.
I just wish he would royally stick it up them with a run of sensational performances but he looks lost a lot of the time and the less said about when he has the ball in the box the better.
Thought we were poor today but 3 points is all that matters. I thought the starting XI was some kind of joke and I know some have said that KDB & Silva shouldn't play together but what was clear today, was that at least one of them must play. Resting both was a disaster. I am becoming more and more concerned with the performances of our wide men, Nolito is offering very little and has the IQ of a fridge freezer. Sterling is so indecisive, he needs to start taking responsibility. I've slated Fernando plenty on here however I thought today was one of his better performances in a city shirt. I just hope that now we have finished with Europe we will start to perform better because we can win this league by 10 points if we sort ourselves out.
Trevor Francis: “It was offside, but Burnley should have had a penalty”
Ian Wright” I didn’t notice the offside at the time, but it was definitely a penalty”
Howard Webb: “ Boyd is coming back from an offside position, but the linesman is struggling with the sun. However, it’s definitely a penalty”
Have I missed a rule change?
