We lose a lot of energy in the middle but happy enough with the team.
C'mon City

We usually have a strong bench but that’s a STRONG bench today. And the starting 11’s not bad either.

Tough game for all sorts of reasons but if the hammers are not at it today we could run amok. Would love to see what Sergio does with a few decent chances.

That has to be the strongest bench in Prem history that. It is ridiculous.
 
Look very secure defensively. Without Cancelo the front five need to be firing in order to create against what will surely be a team sitting very deep. KDB and Aguero good for making things happen though. Good to have plenty fresh legs in the starting eleven too.

Mendy on the bench again.

I wonder what the plan is with him. He's the one player in the squad who's not involved or playing well, but he must be doing pretty well in training for Pep to keep putting him on the bench and we've not heard of any trouble with his training or effort etc.

Perhaps he'll make an appearance if we get ahead early on in a game. Can't sell him if he doesn't play at all and in this covid affected season he could be thrown into the starting XI at any moment.

With a 9 man bench I think it’s pretty obvious he’s just filling a spot.
 
After careful consideration I've decided that anyone who gets angry or bitter about our bench or spending on squad is a brain-dead illiterate who knows as much about football as they do the inner workings of a black hole.

That anger is misplaced, they should be asking why our owner is so happy to help our team grow and support us by paying money and thiers isn't.
How is it that our owner is a bad guy for supporting his asset growing, how is it that bleeding a cash cow dry is the norm?

If I was unfortunate enough to lack the brain cells to decide for myself as opposed to latching onto a succesful club the way a barnacal latches onto a sinking ship, I'd be asking why the fuck are our bench isn't that strong?

If it was still 7 on the bench I doubt he would be on it today with that strength.
 
Steve Macca to stink up the co-comms alert.
