He’s not, it’s just perceptions have changed because people no longer see him as one of the academies shining lights since he announced his intentions to leave.

Yup, the cruel reality is that he's always been this bad.

Looks like Cole Palmer is starting tonight

Would think ahead of Foden as he's knackered. Who else is available for that second attacking midfield spot, McAtee or Felix Nemcha? @twosips

Hopefully Torres can get some decent game time without Mahrez on the pitch and hopefully we get to see Bernardo back tonight.

As much as we've enjoyed winning this thing, i think the toll on the squad has been noticeable at the back end. With no Aguero and now no Jesus its time time to make the sensible choice and throw all the kids in. Maybe some fitness for Bernardo and some more time for Mahrez but that's about it.

Really looking forward to this match and I hope it brings a bit of light to the forum.

Conversely I think it is important to win a trophy for the new players in our squad. I agree that kids should get some game time but I cannot face losing to Burnley so soon after Leicester.

Can dias play or was he signed too late ?

Id still like to win it and think the kids can certainly do that, i just think going for everything with a strong team is a clear risk given our squad at the moment. Torres should also start, Foden can probably handle more game time too so soon after Leicester. Lose this and certainly disappointing but lose to Leeds disastrous.....

Hopefully Delap and Doyle both start.

Very likely they will.
