Match Thread | Man City vs Atalanta (22/10/19)

everything conspiring this season, constant, disruptive injuries and having to rely on players who are half-arsed squad players on a good day.

Horse shit, this is possibly the best squad we have ever had

 

[razman]

the rodri injury ruined the mood

 

[mat]

It's only fair as the Dippers stole our scouting base that we steal the magic juice that keeps their players injury free...

 

[jaiguruKun]

Easy to say with hindsight but he should have rested Rodders tonight. He's played every single game including internationals.

Yank coverage, did I just see de gea in a CL advert? Why?

Was it for Krispy Kreme Doughnuts?

 

[bugsyblue]

My observations:

1) Mendy is too limited. Long term I can’t see him being our first choice LB
2) Stones isn’t impressing Pep. Attitude problem?
3) There’s something seriously missing from the team this season
4) Defence needs replenishing. Seriously weak without Laporte
5) Maybe controversial this but Sterling needs resting.

I see the Mahrez haters have finished their vacation.

Good news is that Gundogan is a great holding mid. Bad news is that Rodri and Fern looked better than Ota playing.

 

[Decepticon]

What's our injury list now, up to 7 players?

 

[domalino]

Agreed. Its not luck.
Playing Rodri in every game has probably not helped. Hopefully now we will have to get back to the Stones, Otamendi and Fernandinho triangle that served us well in 2017.

Can get much worse than the midfielders as centre halves which has been a debacle of a project.

Muscle injuries are rarely luck, but the ligament injuries we've suffered are from contact, and not really avoidable.
