Why is Stones on the bench?

Why are any of the subs on the bench? He doesn't use them. O'Reilly and McAtee have been on the bench every game and how many minutes have they got? Small squad and doesn't use it then complains that the players he has are either injured or tired.

Gashford not even in the squad.

Gashford not even in the squad.

That's a relief tbh. Nailed on to run past our high line and score. Just Garbage-o to watch for now

[sheblue]

Our defence is going to be a huge worry. Talk of bernard at left back!!
What about nunes at right back, walker and Dias as cbs and josko on the left.
Whatever he does its not going to be ideal.

I reckon 3 cbs and Doku and Bernardo as wide men. Unfortunately

I'll start praying now so.

[stevefromdonny]

If any game i want us to batter it's these, and I fucking hope the players do it and they put a hell of a performance in, just don't pass pass pass and fuck up at the back, just make sure our passes are true to our players,

[Mase]

Actually feel sick for the first time in years going into a derby

[blues2win]

Garnacho out of the squad too. Quite a lot of pace left out.

Fuck me, I was going to say he’s the one that worries me

COME ON CITY

[Kippax Sean]

In the blue corner for #MCIMNU

XI | Ederson, Walker (C), Dias, Gvardiol, Gundogan, De Bruyne, Bernardo, Nunes, Foden, Doku, Haaland

SUBS | Ortega Moreno, Stones, Kovacic, Grealish, Savinho, Simpson-Pusey, Mubama, O'Reilly, McAtee

#ManCity | Etihad Airways

Swap kovacic for nunes and it's as good as we could have hoped for. Fingers crossed.

Pep confirms Nunes at left back. No other option he says.

[gmercer1]

Bernado and Gundo in the middle. Wooohoooo
Surely one of the kids can do a better job.
No pace what so ever

[Mase]

Pep confirms Nunes at left back. No other option he says.

I see he’s dropped Wilson E, our left back, from the bench. Can’t have a left back on the bench and be saying “no other option” classic Pep

Or Simpson-Pusey at CB and Josko LB.

Talks out of his fuckin arse sometimes.
