Nottingham Forest (H) - Wed 4th Dec, 19:30 | PL | Pre-Match Thread

Yep. And we have to rely on Pep, his team and players to sort it. Bobb was seen as a top Alvarez replacement.

We entered the season with a strong lineup. The loss of Rodri and pre-seasom standout player Bobb, Foden burn out, Walkers domestic issues amongst other things has put an unforseeable strain on an already small squad. We have lost the ballon d'or winner, KdB as a challenger and Phil as the English player of the year plus the whole defence at times.

Pep and the City management will already have plans in place for this and next season. Meanwhile we must make do and accept it.

I'm going to ignore my own pessimistic thoughts
for what will happen for the rest of the season and say we'll crack on from here. To what extent I haven't got a clue.

Don't forget Kova - our only central midfielder

Ortega
Akanji Dias Ake Gvardiol

Wright
Foden Grealish

Savio. Haaland Doku

I think this is spot on - use Kev, Gundog and Bernado in second half as necessary

 

[kaz7]

Did pep say anything about kova ?

 

[eyalluvitt]

This is all about one game at a time for me. The next game is the most important and we need to win it. Mind you, somewhat amazingly, we might find ourselves behind the rags if they beat us in a couple of weeks. Horrific thought that.

The table is like a game of snakes and ladders and every time we throw we keep sliding down another snake

 

[Goatmeal]

I’m disappointed oreilly or wright have not been given a go
Had we come out of this run of bad results and bedded some youngsters in it wouldn’t feel as bad

 

[Lavinda Past]

Park the bus.

Don’t think so but he was ruled out for a month previously after the international break so possibly back for the Villa game at a guess?
