Injuries 2024/25 | 8 players injured | Grealish, KDB & Walker unlikely to return until after international break

I hope players ain’t pretending to be injured longer than they are to get a break from football.

I’m not saying it’s happening but they have been out vocal about it recently.

They might not like the amount of games and most of us probably agree with them but pretending not to be fit to get a rest!

Not havin that.

all hand on deck and if you don’t agree, seek a move away.

I am left back on Saturday. Eddie is centre half with Ortega in nets.

I have no idea what's going on, I hope a lot of hot air to be honest, but this is the most 'uncomfortable' feeling the manager/squad have given outwardly in some years.

We've lost once all season, in a game we didn't really care much about, which for long periods we were the better team anyway, a game we gave some youngsters some game time, and mostly impressed for me. We're top of the PL, in good shape in the CL.

We have a few injuries, not unusual (and so do others).

'Uncomfortable' for our serial flappers, I'm quite happy to see how it goes.

Wild assumptions being made here based based off absolutely nothing.

Precisely.

Finally a left back ;)

I think you're probably right. But I think Pep is frustrated. Perhaps not at the players personally. But at the injuries and why the "healing process" isn't happening faster. As a coach, it can be frustrating. Coaches always want options. More than they probably need but they always want options. Right now Pep has few to none.

Its a long time since I seen a city team so much out of its depth as we were at Spurs. I know we were happy to get out of that cup but it don't bode well if further injuries strike. I think we were complacent in the transfer window, not replacing Alverez was shocking really.

"Out of it's depth" haha, I've no idea what you watched, I thought we played better than against Southampton, but they're a better team.

I missed much of the first 20 minutes, but from when I got it back, we looked the better team to me.

We had more shots than them, way more possession, but our finishing wasn't (rarely is) as good as it should be.

Spurs finishing was shocking else we would of been put to bed good style. As for our attack Foden on his jaxy was never the answer.

Aren’t he famous for “loving” a small squad? The injuries were already pretty bad last year and he, the IQ200, should have foreseen this and have done something during the summer.

We had 4 more shots than they did, as usual not enough on target, theirs (mostly Werner) wasn't great either.

Foden was poor I agree, so was Gundogan, Bernardo not great when he came on either, I didn't really have much wrong with anyone else, other than McAtee who was anonymous.
