Newcastle United (A) - Sun 21 Aug, 16:30 | Pre-Match Thread

Can't wait for the other cup competitions to start, nowadays waiting one week for next game is way too long

Thinking the same thing

Tbf Stones needing minutes is at least partly his own fault, if it’s true he missed our tour through obeying his covid conspiracy crank missus.
Great player but it’s also true that many of his problems and unavailability in his time at City have been entirely self inflicted

Why is it his own fault? If he doesn't want a covid jab he doesn't have to, nobody should be forced to have an injection they don't want, and he gets punished for exercising his rights, its bollocks

Sorry but this is his own fault. This is public health we are talking about. Unless some medical issue there is no reason not to have a jab other than you favour your own selfishness or have been manipulated by nonsense.
I love Stones as a player and want to see him play but if he has a skid start due to missing the US trip then tough.

No Grealish in training pics. I'm wondering if he picked up an injury when he took that heavy fall during the last game. He stayed down for a while, clearly in a lot of pain. He played on but it's possible that was due to adrenaline, and the injury became obvious after the game. Really hope not as an enforced timeout will interrupt his momentum but wouldn't be surprised if Pep names him on the injury list for the weekend.

I don’t think Bernardo gets into the eleven right now, Gundogan is playing brilliantly in very good form he has to start and so does KDB, both have been incredible for us.

Who says he has been manipulated by nonsense? Who says you haven't been manipulated by nonsense by having the several jabs? We are supposed to have a freedom of choice, he chose not to, but gets punished, yep seems fair to me

Rather see Foden play on the left, Trippier will struggle his pace.

Win here would put a lot of pressure on Liverpool already.

Be that as it may (and TBF I could care less about what he does and does not do off the pitch) we still need every cog of this slim squad tested, spooled up to peak shape and performance ASAP.

What he does off the pitch matters if it makes him unavailable or non-match fit

Classic anti-vaxxer stuff
