According to Sky we've got two players for each position and spent a fortune on acquiring International class players. Dippers, Tarquins and Rags are always highlighted as being blighted by injuries but nothing about our paper thin squad being decimated, Gareth Ainsworth on Sky on Tuesday perpetuated the myth.

It's only because Pep can adjust his squad with flexible players that we are competing but the reality is we're down to the bare bones and I think this maybe one season where we don't win a trophy.
That's a very negative view and I'm sure the club don't share your view. We have a bloody good track record of winning trophies no matter what odds we've had to overcome. It's not even November yet, Positive Mental Attitude required 8-)

Don't let it bother you. Embrace it, even.

Remember, we're just an irrelevance to them; despite all evidence suggesting they are in fact obsessed with us.

3-0 today. Haaland to get a customary goal.
 
I think this is a game to experiment with either Stones or Gvardiol as the pivot. What I’d like too see:-


Ederson
Akanji Dias Stones Ake
Gvardiol
Bernardo Foden
Savinho Haaland Nunes

What I think we’ll get:-

Ederson
Lewis Dias Stones Gvardiol
Kovacic
Gundogan Foden
Bernardo Haaland Savinho
 
Good for all except maybe Bernie. He's been playing an awful lot of minutes, you know. And the way he plays is always full on.
Probably not Gundo on. He cannot play back to back matches now.(By the way, I thought Gundo looked pretty decent against Sparta the other night, although nobody else seems to be seeing or saying it). I'd blood McAtee as a starter in this one. He looks the business to me. Comfortable and useful on the ball. Very nimble feet. If it's not going well, if he's getting overrun, bring on Bernie, by all means. That's the way I see it, anyway.
That said, I'm pretty sure Pep will start Bernie.
Sparta to be fair were pretty shite

I'll be very disappointed with Pep if he doesn't start Nunes. He was brilliant on Wednesday and I honestly believe, with an extended run in the team, he'll become a key player for us.

I think the experiment of Rico as a right back should have yielded the result that he isn’t one by now. Much better in midfield
