All out. So 4 injured which is about average.

Everyone else is training including Stones and Phillips though the latter is not named in our CL squad so cannot play…what a weird situation for him….he’s basically the guy that puts the cones out and fetches the ball when it goes over the fence!

In the old days clubs would play somebody like him every week in the combination league (for those below a certain age who don't know, this was like a Premier League for reserve teams) and big-up everything they did that was any good

Club scouts would be able to get a look at them - the way you allude to - without compromising the first team lineups.

I'm not sure that Savinho's performances are likely to improve his price anyway?

To those of us of a certain age it was not called the Combination League,which was a competition for Southern based teams.
We played in The Central league later to become the Pontins League.

Yes, of course! I was being regionalist :-)
 
Expecting a win here but I hope KDB gets a tremendous welcome and he plays well with McTominay and Hojlund missing a couple of sitters or even scroring at the wrong end..

We did that against Feyenoord last November.

Was our best performance (for 70 minutes) since we’d beaten West Ham away in the August. 3-0 up, game over, felt like our poor run had come to and end, felt like we could give some a rest so we took Aké, Gündoğan and Foden off…

… and crumbked!… Feyenoord goal, 74’.., goal 82’… goal 89’… looked like we were going to concede a winner in injury time and then we only won one of our next eight games.

A De Bruyne hattrick with McToninay getting sent off and getting a ten game ban, and City scoring 5, Haaland hattrick, Foden brace!

Unlikely, but he suddenly goes from a £60 million pound player to a £30 if he doesnt play this season
