Brentford (A) - Sun 5th Oct, 16:30 | PL | Pre-Match Thread

[King Jay]

Good.

 

[ninjamonkey]

Poor choices. Stones for Dias for me, Rodri shouldn't be starting, reijnders shouldn't be playing as an 8, and doku shouldnt be benched when hes been our best player. Signficiantly less confident with that side but there's still no excuse for not winning. At least we have some genuine game changers on the bench should it come to that. I'd love a nice comfortable, forgettable 2-0 win here.

 

[city9320]

Doku?

 

[super_city_si]

Bench is looking a lot stronger.

 

[King Jay]

Savinho was good when he came on against Monaco, despite the bizarre hate campaign against him from some. Doku has had to play far more than usual and we know his injury history. Bobb in for Bernardo is more interesting.

don’t use too much logic . He wanted to leave for Tottenham 100%!!

 

[wolviedinho]

Doku should be starting every game.

Sav only getting a game due to contract which is a sham anyway. He gets paid bit extra due to wanting away and city can ask for a larger transfer fee.

Meh…rest of the team is fine.

Not hating, player ain’t good enough. If he ran his bollox off getting back I wouldn’t care but he does not. Prob score today -:)

 

[Wretched Vengeance]

Very attacking. Could be a lonely place in midfield for Rodri though.

 

[Dr Jacoby]

Midfield looks wide open to me.

 

[burning blue soul]

Well, we've got a couple of players in there who NEED to show something. Peps putting some major faith in them.

 

[ScottSinclair]

Not sure why Doku isn't starting

 

[Stelea]

Captain missing again!
What was the point of appointing a captain who only plays every other game

 

[eastmanc]

No Doku, weird. Anyway come on you Dolly Blues.

 

[super_city_si]

Good.

That’s quite a bus

 

[The Mighty Marmoush]

Doku not starting is an absolute joke, I'm not sure what Pep is thinking

 

[mosssideblue]

Hope he's not over-thought this, dont mind seeing Bobb but Savinho over Doku shouldn't be happening.

Doku cannot play every game

 

[Cityfan]

Doku has had quite a history of muscle injuries, he will doubtlessly play for Belgium. They are maybe trying to avoid further injury

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Doku not starting is an absolute joke, I'm not sure what Pep is thinking

That he was poor in midweek and that he can’t play every game?

 

[southamptonblue]

Hope he's not over-thought this, dont mind seeing Bobb but Savinho over Doku shouldn't be happening.

Savinho over anyone shouldn't be happening....he must have something serious to hold over somebody.

 

[mosssideblue]

Bobb and Savinho will kill us today.

Should be one or the other.

That’s the spirit

 

[madloaf]

Doku cannot play every game

Can he play this game?
