We have to leave the crumbs for the rest of the other clubs to fight over, Watch and rest when they are playing

Pep previously said this game not important and he will use youngsters but imo the team was much stronger with then bringing on Bernardo, Kova, Gvardiol too. some of those EDS players played yesterday could have featured here instead...
we lost anyway but lost some important players which now can cost us in the PL too.

albeit when other teams have these much injuries I often think something is not right, trainings, not ideal pre season, too many games. quite a few training injuries as well this season. getting absurd now with at least 1 injury per game now and probably another few after Bournemouth and Sporting games...
and then guess what intern. break and we know what that means, 90 mins into most of our players twice especially Haaland.

I`ve just responded Uncle Jim. ;)

Never been called uncle before. Been called something else with 3 of those five letters, mind!

Walker bailed us out of trouble countless times - we took it all for granted. Can't expect Lewis to do that.

We shouldn’t be playing a system that suits a speed merchant when we have a snail playing there. The high line will be suicidal against quick teams coming up. We have to change that.

There’s a guy on Twitter who seems to have some connections. And he’s said that Walker isn’t injured and is instead ‘going through it’ at the moment with us trying to offload.

I’d rather see Lewis central and Akanji out at full back to be honest. Where possible.

Then I’d be looking at full backs in the window.

On Twitter? It must be true then!

I wouldn't take much notice. He's been on here 12 years, and he's made 13 posts. He's no more a City fan than I'm a monkey's uncle.

You looked the part back in the day Jimbo!

Pep hasn't mentioned anything regarding Gvardiol...

I'll take that as good news!

Was he asked in the post match interview?

I would would say he would be coy at best but most likely say he wouldn't know when everyone bar Rodri will return this season.

"Injuries? It is what is - we were exceptional" No chance Jack or Walker for the week-end but why not ask about Dok & KDB?

 

[Stelea]

Pep just walked off from the post match interview after trying to do so 30 seconds earlier

Agreed but Lewis is always running back from a central position so any ball from right to left (to his side) finds him yards away from any left winger. The fact he's of average pace just adds to our vulnerability.
