Think it’s a blessing in disguise that he’s not fit for Sunday. As much as we all love him, I don’t think he’s suited anymore to be playing big games like this one. We need the legs in midfield, Bernardo next to KDB would make me feel a lot more confident.

Can't believe you thought Davjd not playing would mean we'd have more legs in midfield! No more legs and a lot less guts and guile.

He's been an incredible player for City, perhaps our greatest ever player, but I struggle to see why he is starting these games when we have Foden on the bench. It should be the other way around. SIlva starts the odd game, and comes of for Foden to control games in the last half an hour.

I hope we see Foden start midweek, he immediately gave the team some legs in midfield which we’ve been lacking since the Atalanta game. If the gap to the dippers stays like this use the rest of the season to bed him, Garcia in.
 
The second half of last season he was slowing down and it’s continued unfortunately. I think his departure timing is right and he will still win us some games with his passing but he doesn’t look the same player to me this season but then again that could be said about a few players.

Are you allowed to say this?

You are right imo.

Merlin's wand is waning.

An inexorable decline is underway.

Dave needs to leave the Premier League while he is still one of its outstanding players.

He needs to leave City before his rightful place is on the bench; he may not achieve that.
 
He's being carried at the moment and we can't afford to carry him. The teams shape off the ball is falling apart when he's on the pitch. He can't run and he's no longer moving the ball quickly enough to free Sterling.

Play him against sides in the bottom half, but against top opposition he should be absolutely nowhere near the starting XI.

Think carried and nowhere the starting 11 is going a bit far. If Foden starts fair enough but if its a choice between him and Gundogan i know who I'd still rather have starting. As for getting the ball to Sterling quickly enough he did that plenty on Saturday. It's just that we're honoured if Sterling takes his man on whilst on the left these days.
