[theres only one carlito]

Over the last few years the outcome has been pretty positive hasn't it? `

Not with Nunes and savinho it hasn’t

God, I wish we were playing Everton away today. We could really do with a weekend off!

 

[BuzLightyear]

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.

You forgot the 'non' in front of sense.

the pre match thread is dangerously close to morphing with the match thread

Fuck off. You’re a clown mate.

People not allowed opinions? Doesnt make you a “massive blue” to never question

 

[Blue and true]

FFS. He’s coming back from injury and played 3 days ago.We have a massive game in 4 days. . We pay staff big bucks to make these calls.

Fair enough, would still prefer him to play the first 60 than potentially come on when we're chasing the game.

 

[Stelea]

That's some injury list.
Not that the media will mention it

If they do mention it, It will be caveated with a value

At least there are a few of you with some basic football knowledge.

I've got to trust our manager but dropping Grealish after his last performance is at once baffling and scandalous. Not gonna do his confidence any good. And Doku?

I'll reserve judgement till after the game.

Scandalous? Give over. Glad you’re reserving judgement though

Apparently we’ve the largest/strongest/most expensive squad in the league….

Seriously though those 7 out injured would be first teamers on most games
