Think it actually worked with Bernardo at the weekend. He was concentrating more on arguing than playing. That is unusual for him.

Grealish almost needs to get booked to get going!

I hope Pep may give Grealish a run out in the CM, I would like to see him involved for 90 minutes and winding people up, something he is outstanding at.

Who's the lad who replaced Rodri at half time in the euros final? Sure he knocked back the Mickey mousers...

If we're in for somebody to try, repeat try, and replace Rodri I'm sure he'd be well up the shopping list. Or work with what we have, who knows.

Let's hope his injury isn't as bad as feared. An exceptional player, the best in the world. Get well soon Rodri.

I was trying to think of that lads name in the Euro final. He was excellent.

I can’t see Grealish as a 6, especially under Pep who is a perfectionist for that position.

Think he is playing a slightly more hybrid role this season, especially when KDB plays where they roam between their two positions.

I never said we will give up just stating an obvious fact that we are now weaker than we were before Sunday. Also uncertainty about the future of the manager and the outcome of the so called trial of the century is bound to have a depressing effect. Let's wait and see and hope we still have a good season.

The bigger challenges were always coming off the pitch this season

Your memory is better than mine (not difficult), I remember the injury but not how he exited the pitch.

I have an ability, Mrs London thinks, to remember the minute in which Tommy Hutchison scored in the FA Cup final in 1981* but not to remember that her sister is coming for the weekend when it clashes with a game.

More down to the way the injury was handled appallingly by the club and particularly P.J.Swales.

Absolutely, but there's no doubt it was a bad injury from the get-go.

Reading Lakey's autobiography probably made me more angry than any other sporting memoir I've ever read. I mean, you're sending someone whose knee is fucked to the States for assessment and treatment. So what do you do? Save a few hundred quid by flying him Economy.

I'd say you couldn't make it up, but the attendance figures from those days shows there was nothing Swales couldn't make up.

He's out for the season, mate. Too many reputable sources corroborating as much now.

We'll be fine. We have a world class squad and the best manager in the world.

Not saying you’re wrong, but don’t they all stem from that one tweet from a physio.
 
Anyone else thinking that our game against Newcastle this weekend will be an audition for Bruno. G?

Buying him in January seems obvious to me (if he's keen). He knows the league, he's very good and his purchase would surely finally give us rotation depth for Rodri further down the line.

I suppose the real question is, would you rather be a player who doesn't play every game but wins silverware, or be the main man and not win anything? I know a certain lad from Villa who made that choice, I think he chose correctly.

Nah, Pol Ballus. Pretty connected with the club. Kind of a similar tier to Sam Lee in that he doesn't know absolutely everything but travels with the squad, attends press conferences, has decent contacts inside the club. The only definitive line coming out of City's camp is that Rodri's being sent for tests, while the line coming out of Rodri's camp is that he's going to miss a "significant period" of the season, with a few people close to him apparently worried it could be the entire season he's out for. I'm still holding out hope that he's back in February.

Struggling to think of an example where the media reported that someone had done a serious injury, only for it to be false information and the official news was a lot less serious, sadly.

KDB a few years back v Palace. Carried off, left Selhurst on crutches and protective boot. Reports of serious injury, played next game.
 
I don’t think we will buy anyone in Jan to cover for Rodri. We have gundogan and he will fill that position. We will win it all this season. The team will do it for Rodri, loads more records to be broken this season. Relax blues we will cement our place in history

Plus Pep finally given proper recognition.

Wait... I am dreaming! But I share your point of view. Contrary to the period when we lost against Brentford before the World Cup, this time I see players very hungry. Savinho is everywhere, Jack the same, Gundo keen to do well... I am hopeful.
