It's really not a shame. He's scared of getting a shot and Ake has taken his opportunity. Pep has had Stones back through countless injuries and spells of bad form and I'm sure is done doing him favors.

Do we actually know this is true or is it all conjecture

He isn't if you don't read it, however I've read it and he is

I assumed Bernardo Corradi was back..

Weird take.

No Bernardo in the squad, hmmmm

Err..

Hoping to see changes if we can get a couple of goals up. No disrespect at all to Bourmouth and i would be happy with any sort of win.

Hiwever it is more likely we would ne 4-0 up againt them than the Dippers or Chelsea, these are the games where if we get a comgortable lead we should bring on the likes of Delap and Palmer for experience.

Is Cole Palmer injured ?

 

[mosssideblue]

Well, it's clear now that Bernardo is going to go, nothing can be done about that.

Why is it clear?

This is the perfect game to get him going for the season. Can’t drop him after one league game. Not exactly great for his confidence, especially when he’s obviously struggling

But the alternative is leaving a far better player on the bench. We've got a league to win and starting Jack is the equivalent of a boxer tying a hand behind his back and hoping he's strong enough to win the fight anyway.

Did you need to ask?

What does he mean, scared of getting shot ?
