Absolute madness to start Laporte in a game against a very physical side,would have been more appropriate to give him minutes on Sunday against Fulham,touch wood everything is ok ..

Where is dihno playing?

Looks like Laporte left back so Ferna will be Central defence with Ota, or maybe not ! Who knows with pep

 

[bobom]

This is the obligatory post asking whether Zinchenko will be playing in midfield.

 

[abu13]

Im taking that as 3 at the back.

I just hope Laporte isn't rushed back one game too early.

I don't get these comments.

It's like every poster who writes them thinks no one at the club bothered to think about Laporte's return at all.

We've got a 20+ person medical team, 4 assistant managers and you think no one stopped and put some thought into when Laporte should come back and if he's ready?

5 goals in 2 games and dropped? (rested I suppose is the correct term)I doubt he wants a rest. I confess I haven't a clue how Pep thinks :/

He’s 31, has a history of injuries and played 3 days ago.

He can come off the bench and let’s not forget Jesus has been in fine form this season.

 

[meltonblue]

Not sure it is three at the back with Sterling and Mahrez in there.

He’s consistent if nothing else.

He is another word beginning with C which I shall not mention

 

[mcfcstu]

Aguero back in the running for top goalscorer and he rests him again !!!
