Wonder if we might recall Reis.

I think we need to to be honest at this point

I think we need to to be honest at this point

Guess it depends on the prognosis of Dias and Gvardiol.

If the latter has rolled his ankle, it’s a few weeks at least. No clue what Dias’ issue was.

At this stage I’d rather see Mfuni given a chance ahead of Ake

 

[Digsy's Dinner]

If Egypt lose tomorrow could we get Marmoush back quickly?? Haaland needs a break as does O’Reilly so Algeria losing on Tuesday wouldn’t be the worst outcome either!

Not going to happen

 

[citymad]

We need to rest the weary bodies and get today’s disappointment out of our system. Im hoping Pep gives the team one of his hairdrying title talks to wake the players up and remind them they’re still in this.

 

[St.Pauli support]

allegedly ait nouri was taken by ambulance from the training pitch yesterday - no idea if true or made up crap though

French article said Ait Nouri went to hospital with heavy flu, or Covid.
No further details how he recovers.

Wonder if we might recall Reis.

If they’re muscular you’d hope we’d at least entertain it. Can’t rely on Ake.

 

[super_city_si]

Bare bones now. Need Nico back.

Nunes khus ake oreilly
Nico Rodri
Cherki Foden doku
Haaland

Not sure about Rodri. Possibly Bernardo if Rodri not ready. Maybe reijnders over Foden.

Pretty negative match result prediction poll considering a team who have had 1 or 2 poor games needs their fans behind them.

We're 10 games unbeaten and have won 8/10 home league games all season. We need to have as much confidence as what we know we're capable of every game, not only 50% thinking we're going to win.

 

[Millwallawayveteran1988]

I feel for us in this game, physically fucked, injuries galore and players totally out of form. Brighton are an energetic team and we could be chasing shadows for large parts of the game. Donarumma, Nunes, Ake, Khusanov, O'reilly, Lewis, Bernardo, Reijnders, Doku, Cherki, Haaland

Extra days rest too. Our schedule has been a joke.

 

[Millwallawayveteran1988]

I can see thousands of empty seats for this.

One last effort then play the kids against Exeter.

It's negative because we're burnt out and have ZERO options mate.
I don't want Rodri near this, it's stretching him, but we may have no choice.
There are times where we might need to take a hit in the short term for the longer term goal - today's result left us in no man's land.
Get through midweek, trust the kids for Exeter and fuck off Newcastle - see where we're at

Bare as fuck, we may need to play Trafford & Ortega at CB lol hopefully Nico G is back if not we can't risk Rodri again. Rico Lewis may come into the middle the bench is literally going to be full of kids.

Just fucking win and give some players a week off. We can rest plenty against Exeter.

 

[bellsouth]

Some of the kids are going to have to step up, IF they’re given the chance.

Ake and Khusanov can probably start together at the back with Stones maybe making a return to come on as a sub, so I've heard.

Rodri may have to put a shift in but Nunes can easily slot in there as we've seen vs West Ham, and Lewis can play at full back if needed.

We're not too short going forward: Reijnders, Cherki, Foden, Silva, Doku, Haaland to name some not including the youngers.

I get it's tough and it's going to be tough but half of us thinking Brighton will beat us is wild imo.
