so where are we on the "everything is falling apart" scale

Were doomed!

 

[Claytop]

Ederson
Walker
Dias
Gvardiol
Ake
Rodri
Kovacic
Grealish
Foden
Palmer
Haaland

Can only be that or Alvarez for Palmer & Foden out right?

 

[JV63]

Dias will be back. Passed the stipulated protocol time line

 

[mancboy]

Dias will play I think.

i hope so, could do with his leadership as its a bit tough, stones out is a blow but hopefully we can see gvardiol do that as he is capable

 

[Ric]

Bernardo out till next week.

Guardiola said he was a doubt for tomorrow, I think. Didn’t rule him out though.

Guys, will Dias start this game?

No. Pep just said in press conference Dias and stones not available.

No. Pep just said in press conference Dias and stones not available.

He didn’t say that.

I read that Bernardo is in Portugal with his wife who travelled there to have the baby, not sure if this is bullshit or not.

We will still field a better team and with home support. Make it a cauldron as we did against RM/Arsenal and we win. Simples.
