Good to “see” you mate.
Yesterday was a horrible selection by Pep, he thought we’d be able to get away with it knowing we had big guns on the bench for the second half. Going 3-1 down to the shitty penalty just made it a bridge too far and we panicked.
Shit happens, we move on.
p.s. I agree with your earlier post about Stones/Laporte, said the same yesterday.
Just my opinion but the Stones/Laporte axis has been key to our best performances this season. Need that back asap.
Fernandinho wasn't injured when training ended on Friday and was posting on his social media on Friday night as if he was playing Saturday. Woke up with a knock ?

Possibly but I’d guess Pep just thought it was the best opportunity to give him a complete rest before 2 away games.Just my opinion but the Stones/Laporte axis has been key to our best performances this season. Need that back asap.

As has been said elsewhere, the Stones & Gundo in the same midfield was always likely to be an issue, the minute I saw the teamsheet I was worried.

City won't break the bank in the sense of overpaying for a player. That's laudable in some respects but has a downside best example being Van Dijk. It also applies to Sanchez Fred and Pogba though they might have been bullets dodged. But they illustrate the point.
Watching Mahrez since he signed, it applies to him too!
We need cover for Fernandinho and we need a left back who can stay fit. We got away with it last year but against the very best in Europe we won’t.

I'm with you on that.One of the City players I would dearly have loved to have seen. Along with Frank Swift.
When I was a young boy one of my neighbours grandad, a life long blue, always maintained Swift was the greatest ever goalie.
He wasn't just world class he was the best in the world.
Defensively we were poor yesterday. Walker is going through a very bad spell as we all know and was at fault for 2 of the goals. Taking nothing away from a brilliant strike by Townshend, but the ball should have been cleared before Townshend had the opportunity to pull the trigger.
