Walker for Stones. Master stroke. Should piss this game now while Stone s has another two months out.

We have to be ruthless in the summer. Can't have players in priority positions with constant injury issues.

Back in the day, we dominated because we had the best midfield in the world. A prime KDB, Rodri, and Gündogan trio. Add to that Walker and Ruben Dias, who were also the best in their positions, and great supporting players like Bernardo and Foden. That’s the key: if we want to get back on track, we need a world-class midfield again.

Kovavic also didn't read the danger.

Wouldn’t have needed to had Stones not decided to go and do his big shop.

 

[MellowJoe]

Looks like we've come out trying

 

[Alexia_Ko]

Kovacic soft and just let the player run past him

 

[East Level 2]

Lazy comments from a pure ****

Is that a polite way of saying you disagree with him?

 

[Stoned Rose]

Or unfit ?

Decision making has nothing to do with fitness.

 

[vicblueman]

Sorry but putting rico on the left is madness after the other week
Pg not learning fuckall

I think we're actually playing reasonably well in the circumstances. The problem is we don't really look like scoring, whilst they look threatening every time they break. Never really thought we could win this one, but there are glimmers of hope though that might be slowly turning the corner once we get a few more players back. Grealish has been really bright on the left hand side.

He has mate. It’s the form of other really good players like Foden and Guardiol that worries me.
I wonder how much the current run of results is due to teams finally working us out and how much is our poor form.
