How about the pro the team that plays in the country that pays his effing wages?

Like you would be if you were commentating on the rags I know I wouldn't.

 

[Luke The Blue]

How is Savinho still on the pitch seriously. I'm getting Peligrini and Navas vibes.

 

[Frankie lad]

Seems the main tactic 25/26 will be give it to Doku.

 

[WallyA]

Seemed to walk off okay

Of course, he probably felt something and didn't want to risk it.

I agree with it, this isn't worth risking the season.

 

[MCFC1993]

Pep did not take Rodri off, he wanted Bernie off.

Rodri took himself off, which is bad.

Not sure id read too much into it, think his sub was in the hope we'd win it in 90mins, so would only play 30mins.

 

[Chak19]

Rodri off lol, who's the fucking DM now ?

 

[Wretched Vengeance]

Rodri off?

Fuck something must be wrong.

I was concerned him coming on in the 53rd min with ET always a possibility.

 

[super_city_si]

Hope I'm wrong but can't see us scoring.

Haven’t looked like scoring since haaland equalized.

How is Savinho still on the pitch seriously. I'm getting Peligrini and Navas vibes.

He literally offers nothing. Cuts in on his left and passes back, repeat.

 

[middle-englandblue]

Hope Rodri is ok

 

[EL APACHE TEVEZ]

Looking at October November before we see Rodders at 100%

 

[super_city_si]

Rodri off?

Fuck something must be wrong.

Hopefully not. Was probably only meant to play 35 mins.

 

[warringtonblue]

All the same faults as last season, miss chances, oppostion score with nearly every attempt and opened up far too easily

 

[Legal Alien]

Pep did not take Rodri off, he wanted Bernie off.

Rodri took himself off, which is bad.

The bench looking at him looked like he's hurt.

 

[deano ou812]

So bad. Makes me worry for the season. We’ll be starting with gundogan bernardo and rodri. Akanji Dias and ake.

Viana needs to take some of those players away from pep and move them on or he’ll keep picking them..

 

[Mancity1980]

Come on, score from a corner, we have had enough of them.

 

[DiscoSteve]

Hope I'm wrong but can't see us scoring.

me neither, I'm relaxed about it now...

 

[Citizen of Legoland]

What

A

Finish

 

[Gordyola]

At least they will get a rest the unks need it

 

[I'm Blue]

Brilliant from both of them
