Fair point, although I honestly don’t think Rice would’ve come regardless. He wanted to stay in London by all accounts. We didn’t balk at the fee.

He’d certainly provide the energy that our midfield currently lacks. Would be a decent fit I think, and his age/nationality/PL experience work in his favour. Doubt we’d pay anything like the figures quoted though.

Add World Snooker Champion Zhao Xintong to the list.

Rodri unavailable, as expected.

Yeah, it's a very clickbaity account that. I'm amazed they have 3m followers tbh.

This, on paper at least, should be an ideal fixture to get back on track after the recent setbacks. They're on a pretty dire run of form, and are there for the taking.

Couldn't tell you mate, not been myself!

It was midday for the Everton game.

Team picks itself. Same XI as at Newcastle.

Stones was the best of a bad bunch.

Got what we deserved after a frankly ridiculous team selection. All on Pep this one.

Well, that was as bad as we all feared it might be. No time to waste with the subs, get Haaland, Foden and Doku on straightaway.

Am quite looking forward to seeing how that team fares now that the initial surprise has gone. Certainly be more exciting than what would probably have been a fairly routine victory with our strongest XI. Hoping some of the fringe players can push their case for playing more regularly.

Going to trust Pep, and it's good to get some game time for squad players, but that's a pretty risky/disrespectful starting XI on paper.

Blimey!

It's a ridiculous decision. FIFA are a disgrace.

Got a feeling he might start later against Leverkusen. If so, let's hope tonight's the night that he starts to turn around his City career. A goal or assist would do wonders for his confidence.
