De Bruyne injury - Back in Training (p89)

[Kompany Car]

Shit....

I wonder who Warnock will target now instead?

The eleven that start.

FFS, knew we should have sold him in the summer.

We are not the kdb team,in fact it's an opportunity to bring through Bernardo and foden.

 

[Father Paul]

Let's try be optimistic too. Imagine if Gundogan steps up with consistent playing time? Or what if Bernardo comes in and plays like he did against Chelsea every week? Or even what if Mahrez goes in there and starts playing like he did in pre-season? Maybe Fernandinho might be pushed forward and go back to his Shakhtar attacking form? Maybe we'll change our formation to accommodate for the problem and we'll discover an even greater means of playing?

Internally, this will be the response the club demands. Somebody is going to have to step up. Obviously pragmatically that may not happen; Gundogan blows hot and cold and the other two aren't exactly accustomed to the role.

But you can be damn sure Pep won't settle for less.

We're in as good a position as any team in the world, through sheer depth and managerial mentality, to handle an injury to our star player like this.



Maybe you're right, maybe if he's out for a while our CL campaign will be doomed to fail. One can never deny the quality and impact a player like KDB has. But we're 100% not going to have any success if we have this lack of faith. The key to our success has been our winning mentality, just listen to the recent interviews with Kompany, Walker and Pep on Sky.

Whilst we as fans have less of an impact on that, if collectively we're all on the same page it'll seep through. Whether for right or wrong, the club will still be confident of progress and success, so maybe we should be at least a bit upbeat about it too?

Good stuff you are putting on a brave face and looking for positives. It has still ruined my Wednesday though!!

Everything seems to be falling into place for the dippers at the moment but it won’t last. Remember we have the best manager of all time and a fantastic squad. Obviously this is a major blow but come the end of the season I still think we will be the ones with the trophies, the dippers will be left with phlegm rash

How, after only one game, is everything falling into place for the Scouse ****s?

[Aussie!]

He'll be back for the Liverpool game?
