Well done, Pep.

How do you know he’s been fit for weeks?Did you also know in advance that he was going to have a surprise appendix surgery or something last season?

Guardiola said he was fit to play a full 90 minutes weeks ago. Either something has gone on behind the scenes or Pep doesn’t trust him.

Seriously, Foden still not starting…what is going on? Something not quite right at the moment.

Why do we keep starting fucking Walker

What's the betting he'll be involved if we concede a goal

 

[malg]

Not seen any build up. Is KdB injured again?

Still got a sore wrist

I love Phil but I think it'll do him no harm at all to have to earn his way into the starting line-up with some consistency in training and good sub appearances. If he's not ready physically or mentally (for whatever reason) then he needs the time and help to get ready.

You only build match fitness by playing in matches of course, but until he's at something approaching full-strength that might have to be sub appearances or against "lesser" opponents.

He's a cracking player but he showed against Watford that he's well below his usual levels at the moment. We (quite rightly) don't know what's going on with his health or personal life but it might just be that he needs a little bit of time and support in order to really get flying this season.

He looked out of form on Tuesday.

Staggered that Stones isn't starting
