I’m optimistic that the figure will improve as we move through the season. I think Chelsea will improve their current quota of three players when you factor in CHO, RLC and probably Reece James. Other teams will hopefully increase their number also.
BREAKING John Stones out for four or five weeks with muscle injury from training this morning https://t.co/0ucSL4VQfc— Manchester City News (@ManCityMEN) September 17, 2019 Chance for Harwood-Bellis in the cups maybe? At the moment they only have Otamendi, Fernandinho & Garcia as fit centre-back options.
PEP: It's an incredible challenge with just one central defender @fernandinho and maybe @ericgm3 and @bellis_taylor will come forward for the next few months. What we will not do is complain that they are not able to play.— Manchester City (@ManCity) September 17, 2019
Mason Greenwood will start for #MUFC against Astana— Simon Peach (@SimonPeach) September 18, 2019 Tuanzebe starts too.
Line-up tonight confirms what we probably all suspected: that THB is still fourth choice behind Otamendi, Fernandinho, and Garcia. Not that there's anything terribly wrong with that - he's 17. More concerningly, Foden doesn't make the bench either. He's making zero progress right now.
There was some interesting discussion over on Bluemoon forum about this and maybe all isn’t as it seems but guess we will see on Saturday if he’s back on the bench again as can’t imagine a stomach bug will last that long.
Well, just that one of the guys claims he is fit and that things are not perfect. Usually Id just shrug my shoulders at some of the posts on there but this guy is a very reliable source who knows the Academy and the people their and not the sort of guy who makes this stuff up.
Tanganga not even on Uefa B list for Spurs but Eyoma is. Is Eyoma ahead of him in their eyes no matter what Tanganga did pre-season. Worst decision possible that Tanganga wasted his time committing to Spurs.
📋 Our team news for tonight's @EuropaLeague opener...✅ @EmileSmithRowe starts✅ @BukayoSaka87 is also in the lineup✅ @JoeWillock returns to the starting XI🏆 #UEL— Arsenal (@Arsenal) September 19, 2019
Smith-Rowe off for Pépé. It's been coming. He's been dispossessed almost every time he's had the ball.
Has Saka all of a sudden leapfrogged Nelson in the pecking order? Nelson can’t buy a start at the moment so would have thought he would have started tonight but Saka and Smith-Rowe got the nod ahead of him.
