Apologies if it’s been covered, but I’m guessing Ferran is injured?

Broke a metatarsal playing for Spain

Don't expect 5 goals and don't expect the rags to get turned over.

I’m struggling to see what exactly Ake has done to upset some of our fans other than having spent most of last season injured.
From what I can recall he hasn’t exactly let us down when called upon.
The price tag wasn’t exactly his fault was it.
Hope he has a blinder today.

Personally I dont hate the guy but I can't ignore that fact that he doesn't seem to be on the same level as Dias, Laporte, Stones, Cancelo or Zinchenko. That being said he should be ok against the likes of Burnley

I think its his hair style some fans are not so keen on. You know some fans are fashionistas.

Sack the board and bring back Hughes .

We rotate. It’s how you keep your squad happy. How people don’t get this in 2021 is quite amazing.

But they’re paid hundreds of thousands a week. Surely that means they can play 7 days a week?

How long after kick off until the first anti-Sterling post appears in the match thread?

No amount of money is going to override biology.
