Wood, Krafth, Almiron and Dubravka can get into the bin. Useless.

Fucking shite game by us. Fucking rubbish.

Yeah

Is this anti Saudi?

Ref just letting Everton get away with persistent fouling. Needs to yellow someone.

Elbow much?

Gordon has been told to press and unsettle Bruno. Good luck kid. You'll need it.

Bless him. Little angry lad.

Bruno woof

We are hoofing it. Must be a plan.

Hope he bothers defending.

I'm still conditioned by the last few years to be pessimistic so I'm anticipating us losing the possession battle and spending a lot of time camped in our half. Oh, and Everton to win.

Bruce doing his media stuff where he shouts loud on the touchline so the TV people pick up on it.

Lush.

Booo if Giggs

The non penalty is mind boggling

I'll stop now.

Didn't know the mods were named Steve and Alex IRL

No but you can say that in both cases part of the reasoning was an intent statement. Even if our intent player was lower profile.

City started off identically to us. 1 big statement signing then a load of experienced Premier players to keep them up.

That's not how it works. If he is carrying a long term injury that is only going to improve with rest and recovery, then he absolutely needs time out at the earliest opportunity. Every manager is going to balance out allowing their players to recover versus getting the best team on the pitch relative to the situation the club finds themselves in. There's always gonna be a chance here that Joelinton would've been on the pitch if we were desperate, but we can absolutely afford to rest him now. Of course, you could be right and he could have a new knock which means he just cannot play. But we do know he has had this problem for a while.

We're probably giving him much needed R&R now we look safe.

Somehow we have done okay without Steve The Human Shield Bruce.
