We were without de Bruyne and Mendy for most of last season.If its true that we'll be without Eric and Leroy for 17 games it's going to be an incredible challenge to keep the average of 3 points every game and champs league going. If we can keep tabs with the vermin till then we'll have a chance to go right to the end with them. It irritates the hell out of me that they've been so lucky with injuries.
After the SPurs game they put it on ice. They are trying to sneak it in now through the back door.VAR has had less of an impact than you might think.
Well, considering the games I've watched VAR has had a mighty impact. It's nicked two points from us, and not bothered with adding to the penalties awarded so far. We had three in one instance and got none, two last week. It seems the impact is only considered when it is used. Much of the shambles stems from when it isn't used!
Not had knee surgery - touch wood! But, being a keeper, I have had 3 shoulder surgeries. the last one was to repair a complete tear of the rotator cuff (only discovered the extent when they went in) and whereas the surgery was a success, the after care was a bitch as I am right handed and it was my right shoulder (of course) so even the simplest things like opening a tin or making a brew was a right PITA! Rehab was the worst as it took forever (but then again, like everyone here, I work) but its fine now and don't have any issues whatsoever if I'm honest...…… just wanted to set your sights buddy, not piss you off completely ;-)

We were without de Bruyne and Mendy for most of last season.
He signed in July and was loaned back to his club until January.
We didnt miss Mendy one bit, and never will. He hasn't got "it".We were without de Bruyne and Mendy for most of last season.
Mendy before he was injured was up there with the very best. I'd put him up there with Cafu, Marcelo for his offensive ability. I have never seen a City full back rain in crosses like he put in. It was insane. Whether he can play at the same level we have to wait and see. Mendy was a massive loss to us because he was at such a high level when he was injured. What his level is now. only City players, Mendy and coaching staff knowMendy wasn't that much of a loss and besides I think Zinchenko is a better footballer and suited Peps system better. We did incredibly well to manage without Kev but we did have the performances of Bernardo to soften the blow. Laporte and Sane are fantastic footballers and we'll be tested to the max to manage without them.
You're having one of your funny turns Bill.We didnt miss Mendy one bit, and never will. He hasn't got "it".
Why a funny turn? Defensively, Mendy has a lot to prove and is equally prone to lapses as Zin (who is not a defender)You're having one of your funny turns Bill.
When he was injured he was without peer as an offensive full-back.Why a funny turn? Defensively, Mendy has a lot to prove and is equally prone to lapses as Zin (who is not a defender)

Pep tweaked the system to suit Zinchenko though, Mendy (pre injury anyway) was awesome bombing forward.Mendy wasn't that much of a loss and besides I think Zinchenko is a better footballer and suited Peps system better.

He was better than many are suggestingAnd how about as a "defensive" fullback, which is an equal part of his role is it not?
an awful lot to prove.i dont think he's tough enough. also his social media shit is distracting.You're having one of your funny turns Bill.
