Have we just been really unlucky, or is our training too intense at times? Not correct warm ups? Because seems most of our key players always get lengthy injuries every single season. I know kevs isnt (hopefully). But it just brought up the question, has anyone else thought this?

Just got a few injury prone players and some unlucky - Laporte.

It’s a very big amount of money but it probably just amounts to Jason Sancho’s current market value.

We are clutching at straws if we think Laporte can save us by returning in February and achieving full match fitness in March , it could help the champs league campaign , but the title will be gone unless Pep spins his magic and comes up with a unbeatable centre back combination form the current squad..........If he can do that then he truly is a football God

It wouldn’t be that hard. Garcia looks a better prospect than Foden to me.

Totally agree i am astounded Pep is persevering with Otto and his headless chicken defending when Garcia is the opposite , calm , reads the game and doesnt commit himself , it makes you wonder what one of our academy products has to do to get a start.

Im guessing a new manager maybe?, because for the life of me i can’t think why pep thinks ota is worth his place above garcia, same as foden with peps fav german

He really cannot be any worse.

Speaking hypothetically of course but I doubt he’d be worth that if he’d stayed because he wouldn’t have had the same game time, in fact would probably only be getting his first few starts this season because of Leroy’s injury

Probably true mate, but there are a few that have slipped through the net like Jason Denayer being outstanding against us last season. We can’t keep everyone happy if course and our first team has very standards / competition.
 
Perhaps it was a good thing that the young defenders weren't caught exposed as it would have been damaging to their confidence.

To borrow that much-used phrase: it would be OK if we had played Garcia or HB as part of a holistic team i.e. played midfielders who could keep the ball so that the central defenders would not have been in a one-to-one sprint with Adama Traore.
 
Garcia and Foden are 19. 19. Pep is bang on for not throwing young lads in. We need to buy in Jan.A centre half as no way will Laporte be ready.

We should play the youngsters as it hasn`t done the Rags any harm.

We could get a new manager but we’d win less games, get less points, play shitter football and bring home fewer trophies.

Hey, but we can say we played a young defender who we have no idea is good enough and who the current manager (one of the best in history) thinks isn’t quite ready yet, just because some idiots tease us about not giving some kids a game.

Yep,pep saidwhen he first came here he will not put kids in when we are in bad moments,anyone hoping for either of the kids in defence will be disappointed or i am going to look like a twat(nothing new there i know ha)

Yeah can see that thinking but Pep probably thinking if Garcia fcuks up it could effect him more with, Im with you play the kid.

I would play them too, but as I said above I am glad HB or Garcia weren't playing against Wolves. I agree with Pep when he says that the central defensive play was not the problem against Wolves. It was loose possession.

It's best to introduce young players into a smoothly functioning team.

Probably the next chances for the young players are the CL and League Cup ties. Not looking forward to Palace.

How do you know how he's doing? I don't really want us to buy a central defender if it's just for 1-2 months. We should at least see how HB and Garcia do. They could easily be City's future central defence. In fact they might well go on to play together. I think City would benefit by bringing them through together as they know each others game.
