Strong side

Not one former Academy graduate?

;-)

 

[Roachy]

Come on City.

 

[Gobshiight]

Guess Gomez isn't rated at all

4-0 and no injuries please, especially not to a defender

Is Laporte still having a "bad face" in training? Not even in the squad

Good side but overly strong imo. If Gomez can't get a start here, he's surely no immediate future with us. Resting and protecting ake and giving gomez a game wouldn't have changed our team strength that much.

Perrone not getting a start is a tad underwhelming but more understandable given he's been here just a few weeks, hopefully another 30 minute cameo from him second half.

Palmer always seems to be unavailable when a genuine chance to start comes up, makes the bench today, would have liked to see him start too. Coming on for the last 20 if the games won and the aim is to coast it isn't the same.

Big night for phillips, a start in a midfield that's starting 11 in a cup final standard, needs a solid game. doesn't need to standout just do his job and show reliability.

Never seen the biggy with Palmer. Headless chicken row Z merchant. Glad he's not starting.

Not a million miles off of what I expected.

Big moment for Phillips, needs a good game.

I like the fluidity of the front line, I can see plenty of goals in this.

Still ill. Just a guess but I suspect he's got covid.

 

[Gus Fring]

Was expecting to maybe see Perrone and not KDB but not complaining fair play to Pep let’s get it done

So, Pep doesn’t think Gomez is good enough, Sam Lee even said he’ll be gone (loan or transfer) in the summer
