[Dubciteh]

Our rivals have had a sniff of blood and on paper this is a tricky game with no rodders/kdb, we need to make a statement today and everyone needs to step it up a level

Keep in tight first half, plenty of controlled possession.

Then get Phil and Savio on second half to double up and roast Trippier

Yep

[john@staustell]

Savinho injured/sick presumably.

No wingers today mate, not yet anyway

Honestly what’s the point in Carson? Couldn’t a kid sit on the bench? Yeah he’s great in the changing rooms. He could still do that role and not take up a spot on the bench. Just fuckin silly.

He's team spirit man isn't he? Plus probably better than any of the kids I've seen lately

COME ON BLUE BOYS

Totally agree. The kid that started on Wednesday for example. Neither him or Carson is gonna get on the field but one is a 16 year old kid who would be buzzing his tits off at just being there

Gets them acclimatised to the first team as well. One of the Heskey kids coming off the bench at 4-0 is better than Carson sat there making people laugh

COME ON CITY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[blues2win]

We haven’t got a full bench even with Carson. Rodri Ake Bobb De Bruyne out. We haven’t got a big squad.

[john@staustell]

Pep and Lillo look like Stadtler and Waldorf moaning away

[nottsblue]

Started well enough

[nottsblue]

And Big Ed with an early brain fart. Fucking unbelievable

[Harry Dowd scored]

Fuck me Eddy nearly spilt me tea

We have an EDS team. Braithwaite was deemed good enough the other night to start.

[blues2win]

I presume Pep decided not to weaken the EDS just to fill a couple of places on the bench. City have a vast squad. The lie that never dies.

Literally a couple more injuries or suspensions and we will have to use it out of necessity

[blues2win]

Hopefully Ake and Kevin will be back after the international break.

[nottsblue]

Starting to get overwhelmed a little in midfield
