Who plays in Kov's position then, we have nobody left who's capable of playing the DM role

Stonesy? Gvardiol? I suspect we will see a tactical twist.

Ederson

Walker
Stones
Akanji
Gvardiol

Gundogan

A reminder to all going club have requested all in seats for 5.10 to show Rodri the appreciation he deserves, please don't let him come out to a empty stadium for the sake of a extra pint !

These fucking journalists just don't understand basic communication do they? When pep said what he said about staying because of the 4 losses, to anybody that's ever interacted with another human, it was very clear it was tongue in cheek and not to be taken literally.

Fast forward to today and the first thing one of supposedly the top journalists in the country asks is about that comment that he has taken very literally. How are these cretins in such jobs? I'd lose my mind having to talk to these fucktards every couple of days, pep should just go full sarcasm all the time.

Scribblers not journalists simply looking for clickbait headlines

Nice interview with Rodri on the City site.

I’d start Nico O’Reilly we need legs in there. Big ask but no choice tbh

Pre season he looked great, gives us physicality and mobility which we’ve been crying out for.

as long as we score more than the opposition, it doesn't matter who scores

We currently arent scoring more than the opposition and no one in our forward line outside of haaland is scoring so it is a problem. We have scored 1 goal in each of our last 5 games.

 

[Father Paul]

Tricky one with Kev. He does need game time but Spurs are an intensive team and this is probably not the best game to re-introduce him back into to fitne

Not a positive post since 2017, despite our sucess

Do you spend half your life checking up on old posts? Your not alone by the way.

 

[Withnail]

Tomorrow seems like a must win game, especially with a pending away trip to the Dippers. No Kovacic is a very big blow, we really could do with Kdb starting. If Kev is not available I suspect Pep may start with Gundogan and Bernardo. I would like to see Boulders in there with Bernardo. What ever team starts we need to get the 3 points.

No idea who starts in midfield tomorrow but we need to get the balance right. Hopefully having a load of players miss the international break then a few days head start together will help with cohesion. We need a win of any sort, convincing, scrappy, lucky or sheer daylight robbery, any win will do.

When the chips are down we usually get a result against Spurs, despite their good record against us, just depends on whether we’re ready to step up. It may be a bit too early in the season for us to start that relentless drive that we produce for the final 10 games or so but a solid 90 minutes would help.

Kovacic is a loss but in reality we need the likes of Gundogan, Foden and Silva, KDB if he’s ready, to show why they have been consistently brilliant for the last few seasons. We could do with more end product from Savinho, he’s had excellent flashes but his crossing and finishing need to improve.
