Krul was a slight doubt - poor old Norwich this could be bad

Farke said he is only fit enough for the bench and to feature for a maximum of 30 minutes. He will be nailed once fully fit.

2 goalkeepers on Norwich bench.

Shortest bench I have ever seen in Premier league.

SlickRic

Worst start I've ever had.

Easily.

The problem is again I look at my team for next week and day yeah looks good no need to WC

I wish I had just done it as planned over the int break
Lots of targets rising or risen out of reach now
Others in my squads dropping

Not sure if patience is a virtue
I’ll still hold off until after Friday’s deadline though barring injuries

He's first sub - so now we play the waiting game

And I ditched Son in the WC but he is damn expensive!

Oh feck - PVA did start, I swapped him back in for Mings....

Scorpion Sting

Norwich have started well here.

km79

this all the hallmarks of a game where city go 2 up and stop pushing on
Rodri and stones with the goals

normanoffside

2 BPs for Mount by the looks of it.

km79

LOL
McLean goal
City concede from a set piece again

Ace2007

Goal for Norwich

wonski

Could be same scenario as Liverpool game.

km79

Buendiea assist

SlickRic

And all my cleanies gone. Lol.

Ace2007

at least this shows Pep that he can't go resting KdB and expect it not to affect the team...

Cantwell (Pukki)

Scorpion Sting

Cantwell (Pukki)

LOL

TitianGerm

Cantwell (Pukki points)

extra gravy

Yesssss

Unbelievable Jeff

Ace2007

Love the way PP still has city as odds on to win the game

gammygils

Pukki on my bench :rolleyes: Thought Barnes at Brighton was a better option

km79

Omg
THANK GOD greenwood didn’t come on

Ace2007

Sterling header hits post

crushproof

Sweet christ.

ScummyMan

Cantwell comes in for me if KDB doesn't play. Surely no chance of that now

extra gravy

Benched Cantwell for his last goal, didn't make that mistake today. Delighted.

The world were Pep learns you can't bench KdB and think it will all be ok.

Man City still 11/10 to win that's incredible!

In fairness the midfield they have out there is more than good enough.

Can't really blame KDB's absence for conceding 2 goals though

KdB makes the team tick - you see that with the difference he makes, Liverpool have 100% record, you play your best 11, and then if needs be take the guys off at half time for breather, As it is city now need 3 - do they look like getting 1?

You can't but people will!

It's not about conceding - they always will with Stones, and without Laptore, it's about going forward

Last season when the sh!t got real towards the end, Pep picked Kompany, and not Stones.
Kompany left and was not replaced, LaPorte is now injured - I don't think city will be keeping many clean sheets, so they have to make sure they are firing going forward.

Scorpion Sting

Aguero goal, Bilva assist

extra gravy

It was all going so well...

Ace2007

Aguerroooooooooooooooooo
