Put the roast chicken and pringles down and see it how it is

Whatever Trevor.

If only Rodri is missing, we have a decent chance against any team, even if we are not favourites. But if Stones, Ake, Akanji (3 from our main defenders in the Treble season), Foden, Kovacic, Bobb are also missing, plus Grealish and Doku not completely fit yet, then a point at Palace is more than decent.

BUMP

Is Issa Kabore that much worse than Walker, genuinely asking.

Saw the line-up didn't bother watching, Walker, Lewis, Gvardiol + Gudogan and Nunes in Midfield, recipe for disaster. Get used to it, this is the standard for the rest of the season, we'll have constant injuries and our razor-thin squad will be ran ragged. Don't expect any signings in Jan from the board.

You didn’t bother with a City game because you didn’t like the line-up?

Wait, you didn’t watch a City game, as a City fan?

Good night.

This group of players have given absolutely everything these last few years and deserve some slack.

Loads of factors conspiring against us. Our injuries are a joke. Perhaps the biggest one of all though is that we seem to have run out of steam. It’s almost inevitable.

Season after season there’s been a target. No-ones done 100 points.

No-one done a domestic treble.

Club never won a CL.

Throw in a treble.

No-one done 4 in a row.

It’s been relentless and I’m not sure what mountain we were expected to climb this season. Whatever it was, injuries have put paid to it. One of them impossible to overcome.

So it’s gonna be a long season, filled with games like today.

I don’t care. They deserve our slack.

It's the post-match thread, not a summary of the past few seasons.

Exactly

 

[ninjamonkey]

It becomes structural if several players are missing as well and the replacements are nowhere near.

That 11 we had out today was full of internationals, there's nobody on earth that can read the two team lineups and say it's even close to being equal. The setup is the problem, that'd why we didn't win and that's why we continue to drop points against vastly inferior sides.

So many balls given away. Happy to come away with a draw to be honest. Gundogan looked like his former self. Rico loves to fall down, he just isn’t physically capable at this level. I love how people think our squad over the years has been overly stacked with talent but this is pretty much the same team bar 1 or 2 players.

Haaland also cannot play every game, even if he doesn’t get hurt, he may need a rest, what was the plan once we let Alvarez leave ?

Bobb was the plan.

 

[MadchesterCity]

Maybe but i think it's fairly obvious the purse strings have been drawn because of the charges

If that's the case, then when we beat 115 we need to claim huge amount of compensation, probably in the realms of 200M

 

[Gazza]

All true.

When is he fit?

He's got flat feet at the moment.
