Razzers out injured ?

“Precautionary” withdrawal from three upcoming internationals ... so no, not really, just going to get his rest ...

Now we just need the same done for KdB ... pull him out and keep him here.

 

[stan bowles]

Sterling has withdrawn from the England squad due to injury.

 

[balotelli's back pocket]

Assuming all fit

Ederson
Walker Dias Laporte Ake
KDB Rodri Bernardo
Sterling Aguero Jesus

 

[01cravend]

They are going to expect us to play 4-3-3, they will counter with a back 3/5 and will beat us again. Either try a back 3/5 or start Dinho and Rodri and keep them on all game

 

[swinton blue]

Just a bit worried of abu
He will play in that channel between walker and possible Diaz
If we don't shut that channel he could possibly pick us off

 

[cookster]

Small time cunts have just sacked the club mascot as part of the cost cutting exercise.

 

[Ancoats blue]

Sterling has withdrawn from the England squad due to injury.

Well he surely didn't injure himself at Leeds .... other than put the ball in the net i don't think he really touched it!

 

[jimmygrimblesboots]

Lets get back to normal and batter the Goons , a shame there is no crowds because they usually fold like a cheap suit at the Etihad , but with Dias and Laporte hopefully striking a decent partenership , Ake at left back , and the possibilities of Gundo , Bernardo and Kun being available this could be the game where we ram all the doubts of the media down their throats , a win with a clean sheet would be just fine.

Wait! Did Rodri get injured or something?

Why am I seeing lots of Dihno in Rodri's position? Did I miss some injury update?

If not, what then can be the rationale for this change? Has Dihno played better than Rodri in any game this year? No! Has Dihno shown speed and Athletism unusual of a 35 year-old? No. Has there been any game in which Dihno gave away fewer balls than Rodri? No. Has there been any game where he made more stops than Rodri? No.

So in the name of all things reasonable, why the fuck am I seeing so many lineups with no Rodri...

Fuck! Did we sell Rodri at the deadline?

 

[Manchester_lalala]

Ederson

Walker Dias Laporte Ake

Rodri Bernardo

Kev

Foden Sergio Sterling

Hopefully the return of an in form Bernardo, our midfield needs him.

 

[super_city_si]

that’s the team I’d pick but gundogan is back and will feature, probably for bernardo.

Maybe because Ferna is the best cdm on earth right now? Especially against team that play on the counter, which arsenal will 100% do.

Because they think that Fernandinho is still amazing as we conceded loads of goals against Leicester after he went off. His actual performances are ignored. He should be nowhere near the team.

 

[razman]

I really hope Bernardo plays in mid field

Sorry for swearing but you deserve it if you actually think Fernandinho isn't good enough and should be nowhere near the team. Is still the best cdm in the world when fit and rested. Without him as cdm we struggle EVERY fucking time because he is one of the few players in the world that can stop 40 counters every game in an efficient and smart way.

40 counters every game you say. Wrong team there bud.

 

[Father Paul]

I think we will beat these if we have a full-strength team.

Injuries permitting...

Ederson
Walker Dias Laporte Mendy
Kev Rodri Bernando
Torres Aguero Sterling.

What makes you think Aquero can walk straight back in after months out? As far as I am aware he is yet to return to full training. We will be very lucky to have Jesus back.
