[Don Karleone]

Is the Gomes on the bench Claudio Gomes? When did he return to City…couldn’t even remember if he returned after his loan to Barnsley. Can anyone confirm?

 

[Tricky_Trev]

we have injuries...

Nothing out of the ordinary. The number of injuries will be much worse than this at some point in the season. Probably a really crucial part too.

 

[GaudinoMotors]

An injury to a centre half,a Dm,a striker or a fullback and we are in trouble.

This should not be the case at this stage of the season,and in a transfer period.

I'm assured we can do no wrong.

 

[paulchapo]

2 or 3 injuries and that bench looks like we are down to the bare bones. We need 1 or 2 more players imo

Definitely and ones who actually stay fit.

 

[ninjamonkey]

Evidence of how small our squad is, a couple of injuries which isn't out of the ordinary at all and our bench looks like a 3rd round carabao cup bench. Can't help but think it's going to seriously bite us in the arse this season.

 

[deano ou812]

What position does the lad knight play ?

 

[SWP's back]

An injury to a centre half,a Dm,a striker or a fullback and we are in trouble.

This should not be the case at this stage of the season,and in a transfer period.

Two of those have cover and the DM will be covered by this time next week.

 

[argyle]

I know Pep likes a small squad and doesn't like the headache of leaving players out...

But that bench today is weak as piss. We're hardly into the season too. When the games come thick and fast there will be more injuries.

Pep and board taking an unnecessary risk.

 

[wolviedinho]

No a bad line up. Gundo instead of Mahrez for me but that would mean pushing Bernie out wide. Should have more than enough to win bar any fucking about with the passing out from the back. Squad is fine. Jack and Phillips hopefully back soon.

 

[Irishblue93]

Yes

Where has he been? Wasn't involved pre season or the barca game or eds games? Presumed he was out on loan again
