De Bruyne out for 10 weeks

[forever-and-counting]

Silva is showing signs of Silvaesque life. Keep faith.

Let's hope so, maybe I'm talking out of my arse, we could win all them games!

Has nobody mentioned the elbow in the back of the head that resulted in KDB going down?
The fact Funes Mori has struck someone in this part of the head he should be cited and banned for a long time. I really cant believe nothing more has been made of it.
That area of the head is one of the most unprotected and one punch, "a coward hit" is one of the most lethal and talked about in this country at the moment.
Im not saying that Funes Mori deliberately aimed for this part of the head, but every human takes pain and damage differently to others. Even the UFC doesnt allow strikes to the back of the head.
This attack is the one thing that has really got me pissed about the game. What will the FA do? Fuck all as usual and unfortunately it will take a player to have a seizure or worse before any kind of action happens.
That could be 1 life too late

Didn't even see that. When did that happen?

They always manage to injur our players the blue dippers.

Last year Aguero and now KDB

Right before KDB goes down. Mori smashes his elbow into that area of the head.
Just watched it about 5 times on this thread and the more you look the more it looks deliberate

It's a huge blow. I wonder if we'll try and push through a deal for Sane now?

Hope not ;-)

 

[Gorton_Tubster]

Yeah but is he good enough to command a place in the starting line up ?
Lol

yup, that was a ridiculous thread.

Do whatever it takes to get cover in, spend whatever it takes as we simply can't compete in 4 competitions with just 3 strikers and 3 attacking midfielder, 2 of which regularly get injuries. Hopefully we'll have a contingency plan lined up. It's Txiki time.

Well... one contigency plan would be to make use of our youth players... Maybe let Iheanacho get more than 3 starts and give players like Denayer, Ronny Lopes, etc. a real chance... Instead we play the same players each and every game... Its especially frustrating with Toure: He's losing his impact but instead of letting him build up reserves for the more important games we play him each and every game making him as minimally impactful as possible....

 

[Leech]

Ridiculous injury to pick up.

If you're going to hit the deck to kill time at least do it safely.

Just watched the clip of KDB being brought down deliberately...... what a twat

Bit difficult seeing as Lopez has gone & Denayer on loan???
