I mean, he’s only played 7 league games so surely you can stop worrying about that now ;)

Including today we’ve played 70% of the league campaign without him.

Not worried about it. Just my opinion.

I think stones can feel hard done by. I thought he was really good last week and I think we are a better side when he starts

It’s a nice problem to have

Palmer not on bench injured ?

heard he has covid, not sure on that though

Hopefully it means we put in a professional performance and get all the points.

I was being sarcastic about previous posts on here. Sorry.

Not sure what merits his performance and not gabby ?

IMO Gabby is an average footballer, he has had couple of seasons to make number 9 his own but what does he do, he says he will re-learn everything as a winger. His finishing is nowhere near what a no. 9 should have. We should let him go to another team where he will play every week and make his mark. Eagerly waiting for a killer, a poacher in absolute terms like Aguero. My top three choices would be: Haaland, Vlahovic, Kane (yes, I still think he is a more perfect fit for us than the other two but would only give us 4 yrs at the top of his game while others would give maybe 10?).

My mate just suggested the Rags result puts a dampener on our game. When the fuck will people realise we’re on a different stratosphere to those pricks now? The battle for top 6 doesn’t exactly impact us!!

The scum are after the Wenger trophy

 

[Protein Junkie]

How long before they mention that the Rags win

Not long after the cost of our bench

Sky have shown us set up as a 4231. Do they think we are the rags?

No City player is an average footballer, that's why they're at City and not Everton.
