Looks like he has 4. I think the confusion is because he has 3 in the league, so Prem League stats only show those, but he got one against WBA in the League Cup, which also counts.
 
Lack of width on the left last night was a genuine concern. Delph only attempted to play the ball in once with his left foot, and it was only when Bernardo came on and Sterling stayed out left that we suddenly stretched the game in the way we are accustomed. If Sane doesn't return for the West Ham game (and a virus and pending suspension would suggest further rest), then Sterling, Aguero, and Bernardo should start, but with so many small players, our defenders are going to have to be much smarter and minimise the set pieces in our half.
 
No booking for Fernandinho last night so I don't think he'll be risked against West Ham. 1 more booking = ban for derby (if I'm not mistaken)
 
The only thing I know is that we have to play David. 3 games he hasn’t started this season wolves feyenord and last night, and we are so much more fluid and creative with him. Hopefully get 2 or 3 ahead within 60 mins and take him off for Bernardo (or Foden or Diaz). How many bookings has Vinnie had by the way?

Pretty sure one or two of them were from earlier in the season when he was stropping around twatting the ball away all the time. Shows how needless that was.

He was lucky not to get a Red with a two footed tackle he made, the cynic in me thinks he doesn't want to play against us

Loanees can't play against their parent clubs so he can't play against us.

Eh, he also didn't play Napoli away which is probably the biggest win of the season to date, and we were brilliant.

I wouldn't be surprised if Dave and Gundogan play tonight though, to give KDB a rest before United, and then Fernandinho gets a rest at Shakhtar we've given the entire midfield a game off then.
