Think they are all on Amazon this week

Just a quickie - why 7.30 and not on TV?

Hopefully it’ll be on somewhere in Lanzarote.

Thanks for taking the effort to respond comprehensively. New players have let us down this season. It’s not a dig at them but more expected. I would love for Gvardiol to be playing at as a high level CB not a Lb but I can understand why pep has decided against that.

Replacing the impact of Mahrez and Gundo was never going to be easy. It’s not u fair to suggest that the new players will be able to do that. Look at Phillips, I wanted him to be the new de jong type of player and he never was. He wasn’t even at the level of Gareth Barry.

Anyway, I can see why it looks like the new players are getting the blame but imo they have not been up to the high standards expected of a city player. Hopefully they will after the normal adjustment period. They also may not be good enough.

Gareth Barry was one of our most important, influential and underrated players of the modern era.

Model professional !!

Nothing on Amazon as far as I can see?

According to PL site there are only 2 games this mid-week
Ours and the dippers - both rearranged fixtures

CL night. UEFA don’t allow games kicking off at the same time as their games.

Wasn't on TV originally, so isn’t now, again also because it’s a CL night.

Yep, that’s the reason.. which is why the dippers also kick off at 7:30 on Wednesday

Walker needs to be dropped for this game some of his performances lately have been shocking

What are they doing in south america.?

 

[mosssideblue]

I'll just go with this

Too much space in behind for Brentford to attack

 

[Paul1970]

Walker will start and we will struggle down the right .

 

[Haaland94]

Well, I am a big fan, so I have no problem with that.

I’m pleased pep is going to play him but hopefully moves him out to the right and puts Phil in MF…

 

[Bald fraud]

No doubt they’ll raise their game again when they play the champions like everyone else does. They were utter wank against the dippers

I hope so, that`s what I was hoping for the Chelsea game.

 

[Lowtower]

For some reason I thought this was on TV tonight with it being a 7.30 start.

@Lowtower

Didn't know that rule

Makes it a bit of a rush.

 

[Fordyboy46]

Wouldn't have Alvarez starting tonight but if he does then I expect Bernardo isn't quite fit enough to start
