Looked like a thigh strain to me.

Looked like an impact injury to me.

You know if Timo Werner actually scores against you then you are in trouble!

Some nice incisive passing through the middle towards the end. Wouldn't mind seeing more of that

Rico isn’t a FB Game in game out he consistently good neat and tidy his movement and positioning is superb looks like he’s been playing in this team for years
No idea why you think he needs to knuckle down

He’s being picked at FB and needs to do more to learn the position. Constructive criticism isn’t slating the lad

 

[Manchester_lalala]

It's not over one start in fairness, I don't think he's shown anything in any minutes he's gotten and this was just another confirmation of that. Just my opinion mind

That’s what people said about Palmer in his last season at City. They have to be given proper run outs, like Nunes is having now and proving to be a decent player.

As I said pre-match to a fair bit of rebuttal, a stupid team selection. Gone out anyway which i couldnt care less about but 2 key injuries added to a lengthy list now aswell.

Good job the kids were the better performers on the night as they'll be playing this weekend too at this rate.

I remember when spurs played a high line against Chelsea last season, got 2 men sent off and continued with it leaving Chelsea free to have a run on their keeper time and time again. They were mocked for such amateur hour tactics, we were only marginally better than that defensively tonight. The ease in which they could be put through was incredibly concerning, it's a big problem that every manager we come up against is exploiting, it needs rectifying desperately.

Wright played well when he came on, pretty sure he's a holding midfielder though isn't he? Played everywhere but there, he impressed me in his time on the pitch more than O'Reilly did. I'd have him on the periphery ahead of O'Reilly on that performance. Simpson-pusey impressed me the most of the kids. Calm and assured on the ball whilst being progressive and defensively he was always where he needed to be. That one bit of defending where he stepped up to play solanke offside was a brilliantly executed line. Away from the kids, gvardiol top class as usual and Nunes the star of the show.

We move on now and benefit from the break in between the derby and villa games with no fixture especially as villa themselves went out tonight and will get the same break. Arsenal and dippers remain in, they might have the squad available to cope right now despite arsenals "injury crisis" with their 2 injuries, but let's see how it impacts them as the games keep coming and injuries happen.

Could be 3 injuries as Gvardiol went down literally 1 second before the final whistle and needed treatment on the pitch after full time.

Only 11 senior outfield players fit for Bournemouth according to Jack Gaughan:

Ederson
Lewis
Stones
Dias
Ake
Kovacic
Gundogan
Foden
Bernardo
Haaland
Nunes

Bench:
Ortega
Carson
O’Reilly
McAtee

Izzy Christiansen looks like a Cabbage Patch Kid

That's what Joey Barton said months ago, Something in which only somebody like Joey should come out with a statement like that.

Seen as Joey Barton is indeed an oil painting himself.

 

[levets]

Looked like an impact injury to me.

The one by the touch line? He looked to be holding his upper thigh/groin area. He had treatment and carried on, so hopefully……?

 

[Elliot houghton]

Ederson might need to play outfield at this rate

 

[Double R]

Kulusewski looks like a heroin addict

Looks like that young Klopek from The Burbs.
