Isn't that the beauty of watching football. We don't need to know anything about recovery times or that xg bollox what ever it is. Just need to see City outscore the opposition. It really is that simple.

Yet you decide on who should be starting or not without knowing anything about it . Explains a lot.

No worse than the rest of the bollox posted on here. Honestly Grealish and Doku had 4 days to recover, didn't miss training, yet were only fit for a few minutes. Not having that. At times Pep's being economical with the truth. Did he think juventus was the more important game and it probably is to be fair?

So why put them on? Why not put Oreilly and McActee on if it’s just about fitness?

Maybe because Grealish and Doku are far better players even not fully fit,when chasing a game. Or do you think Pep didn’t to win the game. This is fucking bonkers, seems like the bad run has brought match day thread madness out into other threads.

Thanks doctor, glad you can see players fitness with no experience or examination. NHS could do with more like you ,save a fortune. Yes Pep looks at the bigger picture, maybe explain why he’s one the best and most successful coaches, ever.

so we are willing to risk them to chase a game but not to try to win it from the start? Neither Doku or Jack looked like they were struggling against forest. In fact it was KDB who left the field early having dropped to his haunches. IF they’ve recovered enough aren’t fit to start then surely Pep has to do something different shape wise or tactically rather than stick Nunes on wing, apparently he’s a CM - personally I don’t rate him in either position. We have two CMs on bench who are young and surely have more legs than Gundo who. Is currently giving ball away so frequently they couldn’t really do worse. So fit or not fit that team selection cost us. As playing Nunes and Rico seems to keep doing. Feyenord 3-0 up at home they go into midfield and we fall apart. Pep keeps saying it’s on him to fina a solution. He found one against forest he put Grealish in CM. Bar that he’s tried not a lot and persists at times with same choices and expects different outcomes. I get that we are lacking quality personnel but let’s have it right if it’s just about not having fit players why until we are losing/chasing games what’s the point of having Oreilly wright on the squad list bench. They’re as involved as Moonchester. Rico needs a rest imho keeps getting hung out to dry.
 
Palmer still would be wasting chances if he is at City. Same with our current players. He wouldn't have added anything different that we haven't got (apart from being fit)

So in short you beleive Pep did it on some whim and for no good reason at all. Strange opinion of a man that has been so successful over 15 years IMO. Was it just for a laugh?
Stiil you’re entitled without any knowledge of Physio, player recovery after, 90 minutes coming back from injury and the risk of aggravating any niggles to have a different opinion to Citys management and medical staff. Carry on.
