Injury Updates

[BlueMoonRisin’]

Its always a blow to lose KDB, but he's played a lot of games and a rest will do him the world of good for the big part of the season. Its only the Liverpool game coming up in the next 3 weeks where it will really affect us and he could be on the bench for that game.

I agree. We will miss our ginger midfield maestro but we still have several options without him. Bernie is coming into good form so him in the engine room with Foden or Gundo should see us through. I'd also like to see what Zinchenko can do in midfield but for him to be tried there would probably mean Mendy at LB and I doubt Pep has any trust in him now. And not forgetting Torres who seems a pretty versatile option.

It's not the end of the world. Every cloud...

Do we know if that ball ever actually landed?

NASA are tracking it. Apparently it's approaching Uran Neptune as I speak. Er, type.

 

[manimanc]

Could've been worse I guess, but will be a big blow if he can't play at Anfield.

We'll have enough without Kevin.

 

[BlueMoonz1977]

Bad news regarding Kev, but the little maestro Bernardo will now step up, as he did last night

 

[wolviedinho]

Big loss but we have coped before and we will just have to get on with it.

Kev has been below par at times this season but the lack of goals throughout the squad is still a big concern.

 

[BolinCell]

Massive loss KDB being out especially going to Anfield. Our record their is absolutely horrendous, I'd definitely take a draw (even before KDB being out) because we just seem to fold at that shithole.

I will be disappointed if we don't win, our squad is better than their squad at the moment with the injury situation, and with our new found defensive spirit we could win it. I think its they who should be worried looking at the dodgy run they're on.

 

[Rammy Blue]

Little rest won’t do him any harm, he probably needed it anyway. He will be back for the scousers.

 

[bluevalley]

I think this will be a blessing in disguise, other players now need to step up and take responsibility instead of relying on KDB for breaking down teams, I am hoping this will make the team stronger.

Remember we won the last title playing most of the season without him.

 

[Saddleworth2]

Kevs hammy is fuck all to do with Grealish.Same cant be said for Walker though.

I saw Kevin holding his leg after Traore had sent him to the cleaners. I thought then he must be feeling something.

 

[ninjamonkey]

Big big loss especially if he's not fit for liverpool but if we are accepting its going to happen at some point because of the scheduling, it's not the worst time for it to happen. Lot of reliance on gundogan now with bernardo/foden taking up the slack centrally. Likely leaves a wide berth for somebody but sterling's badly out of form, mahrez hasn't been performing either and neither has torres out wide. Cancelo could be about to see some gametime further up the pitch.
