With everyone missing is it time to see Stones play as a number 6 with a back four of Gvardiol - Ake- Dias - Rico behind him...Foden and Gundo/Kova as the two other central midfielders.

nunes - Haaland - Bernardo uptop?

Therefore

Eddie
Rico---Dias - Ake Gvardio

stones Gundo/Kova

foden

Bernardo - Haaland Nunes

Would that be in the full length diving tipping ball round the corner of the post category or I'm taking over thirty seconds on each goal kick section? I hope it's the latter and the **** gets booked inside ten minutes.

Probably be both.

We need Academy players to step up, or into the market in January.

Rodri, Bobb, Walker, de Bruyne, Doku and Grealish all out. Also Stones and Ake are prone to sudden injuries. Leaves us thin on the ground.

Sudden injury, is there any other type?

 

[Ric]

Reckon it’ll be:

Ederson
Lewis
Akanji
Dias
Gvardiol
Kovacic
Bernardo
Foden
Nunes
Savinho
Haaland

 

[Bentheblue]

Reckon it’ll be:

Ederson
Lewis
Akanji
Dias
Gvardiol
Kovacic
Bernardo
Foden
Nunes
Savinho
Haaland

I think this will be spot on.

Sudden injury, is there any other type?

Well yes, players get knocks and have to be replaced during games but recover to play in the next game.

The trouble with Stones and Ake is they get injured with nobody near them and then are out for weeks.

 

[Keeper!]

Tricky fixture this one, on paper a banker 3 points but this is often the period of the season in which we wobble.

Hard work, concentration and patience essential today.

[Gone for a Burton]

Tricky fixture this one, on paper a banker 3 points but this is often the period of the season in which we wobble.

Hard work, concentration and patience essential today.

Clean sheet victory
No injuries
No cards
Good minutes for McAtee & O'Riley.

Move on.
