Let's just get through the game, collect the three point, then start thinking about Roma. Hopefully Edin will be available, and Jojo. With Merlin possibly available as well, we should be positive.

So why do I feel gutted?

I hope I am wrong but looks like a ligament injury and could be 2 weeks Atleast
F***

Pozo needs a focal point. Not really a number 9. He need's to be able to drop deep and get more of the ball so he can play his natural game.

Dzeko
Milner Pozo Nasri
Yaya Nando

Maybe Frank on for Milner on the hour.

Has anyone blamed the gaffer yet for Sergio getting injured?

Playing well and fairly comfortable after a game disrupting injury so early on.

Very unfortunate with Aguero. Hopefully it is not too serious and just precaution. But I have to say that some our players have really stepped up and impressed this first half. I have not been a big fan of Nasri but over the past few games and today in particular, he looked like a totally different player and is essentially leading the line in such a difficult and repressive situation after the Aguero injury.

Clichy has been spectacular as well and Milner and Navas has also been lively. Pozo obviously is not in tandem with the rest of the team but that should be expected. Pellegrini have scored a fantastic management goal here by playing Pozo because now it will be clear to him that he is a real option in the squad.

Lets get that three points and then assess things going forward but the team has played well and hopefully it will continue and we can get the three points.

Very very unlucky with the Aguero incident. Why does it have to be him.

got to be pleased with how we've recovered from that disastrous start, Nasri working very hard and setting up most of our positive stuff, Joe needs to improve his distribution, Mangala and Fernando need to be super careful in the 2nd half, can see us scoring again

Did Aguero try to come back on .....it said on Twitter he was preparing to return but he was held back...seems weird to be in tears if that was the case.....

As i just sed before you posted this I really think it was tears of frustration. It did look like he wanted to play on.

 

[jimharri]

Still think that's a very soft penalty. I'd be pissed off if it was given against us.

 

[Centurions]

We could win this 15-0 and I'd still feel like shit. Why does Sergio have to be made of glass...

Dude.. It was an overstretch, anyone stepping unfortunately can overstretch.

I thought it was the 2nd challenge on him (Coleman?) when he got back up from the 1st assault challenge. He got his knee in to the side of Sergio's leg.

Midfield must be on it second half, impressed with Clichy & Nasri.

Barkley will be on soon so need at least another imo. Everton will get 1 I think.

Pozo making some nice runs, need to get him in the game a little more. No point in pinging balls up to him as he cannot hold the ball up.

Pellers needs to sort it now at half time and he will.
