£54 million to play in the Carling Cup but not in Europe??
A surprise he's been left out but he has played a lot and could well have a niggle.
We've a decent chance of qualifying tonight so if it's not a niggle it's a ridiculous decision.
Hopefully I'll be eating my words.
Good decision by Pellers methinks. Soak it up, tire them out then hit them on the break later on in the game
Yeah, we're really good under pressure.
I wonder what Zabba would say... Can this now be the match thread.?
I did notice however that ginger kev was not exactly top of his game last time out, quite few misplaced passes.
for the last 2 matches he's not been excellent. right decision to rest him
Didnt miss him tonight at all and that says lot about the players that did play and that includes Kun and Silva we didnt miss them either.
It definitely turned out the right decision however the decision to invest over £50 million on the guy was an even better decision.
I would go so far as to say that our two most critical signings of the last two years have been De Bruyne and Fernandinho.
(Hopefully we will be adding Sterling to that list - but time will tell)
