So Kevin, who looked like he could do with a rest after the Forest game, starts (so he'll be exhausted for the Juve game), but Jack and Doku, who clearly still had plenty of legs and played great, are benched.

Anyone who still doesn't see that Pep is fucking up City's season with his shitty lineups needs an appointment at Specsavers.

Disagreed strongly!

and thats fair but where have you seen lewis excel honestly?

 

[marco]

calm down Doku and Grealish will be playing a part at somepoint in the game

 

[Blue and true]

People! jack and doku are both just recovering from injury. You just can’t force them to start after coming back from long layoff

I don't understand this logic? He played a full 90 midweek so why exactly is he no longer fit for another 60 or so? He's a professional athlete for Christ's sake.

 

[skillman]

Good rewards for Doku and Grealish there then.

I never moan about Pep but Grealish and Doku were both brilliant against Forest and I can’t for the life of me understand why they’ve been dropped.

Grealish, Doku, and De Bruyne were all making their first start after being injured. We don't know if they're 100% fit, or if they need to have a break.

Considering we just lost 2 of our defenders in one game, who were also playing while not being 100%, and we have a more important game on Wednesday, it makes perfect sense.

We might need a defender in January. That defence is not solid.

Dropping Kev or Bernardo would mean resting.
Dropping Jack and Doku is the new level of overthinking farts.

 

[OldhamBlue94]

Can only think he’s resting them for Juve and rags
