Is Echeverri not allowed to play in the Prem, is it a case of him not being registered or something?

He doesn’t need to be registered.

Haaland has a lot to do to claw back some of his reputation..
Hope he does the business tonight.
I am sceptical.

For Croatia he basically just breaks the play up and looks for Modric, who then orchestrates the next phase. It works well.

Well for city he's also driving with the ball ( which he is great at ) and forgetting his actual role and always had 5 yards of space in behind him

With Nunes playing i'm hoping Bernie stays tucked in and plays the right half role.

An Inside Right position. It is his classic position for us over the years. He'll put a shift in that's for sure.

I don’t get why we rushed him back so soon. We was winning games.

Are any of you watching this on Sky? Or are you all just pissing and moaning? (Assuming folk are at home)

Both.

 

[Bournemouth Blue]

This game should have been played a week ago, it makes no sense, especially given the North Stand construction.

Anyone have a stream ?

I guess that's Gundogan's job, covering his ass

 

[KS55]

With the 'experienced' midfield we've got playing we need some width. O'Reilly needed a rest imo so it makes sense to move everyone over and play Nunes at RWB, to me at least

Except Gvardiol is too negative in wing back mode.

 

[Citizen Mike]

McAtee,Reis, Khusanov, Echeverri, Lewis, Savinho no place on bench

but great to see Rodri, Ake and Bobb on the bench

 

[flook]

Grealish.

not exactly ripped up trees when he's played though has he? There are 3 options for the midfield creator spot, and tbh none of them fill me with confidence atm

 

[mike1923]

Come on city!!!

 

[Bluewonder]

Why did we buy Gonzalez,Riess and Kushanov?????

For the next 10 years

 

[WesthoughtonJohn]

McAtee,Reis, Khusanov, Echeverri, Lewis, Savinho no place on bench

Apparently we're not trusting youth tonight - quelle surprise.

 

[jimharri]

For the next 10 years

The next 90 minutes are the priority right now.

Is Echeverri not allowed to play in the Prem, is it a case of him not being registered or something?

if you'd read a number of earlier posts you'd know he was sick, as I believe is Mcatee

 

[WesthoughtonJohn]

Makes me laugh how Gundo is given a free pass by many here based on what he’s done in the past.

He will jog on the spot and play backwards balls for 80 minutes at least.

That fuckin midfield tonight is infuriating!!!!!

Lol

We are playing for a UCL place, mate.
We tell Kev his time is up and then pick him for every match.
He can come on when we are nearly there.
