SUBS | Ortega Moreno, Stones, Gundogan, Haaland, Rodrigo, Bernardo, Charles, Robertson, Knight

[KunDB]

Loads of rested players as expected but should still win.   C'mon City

[Stephen Paul]

Ake is becoming one of our best players

[Stephen Paul]

Brentford are a decent side

[gavin]

Fairly shit first half really. We're not getting much out of this.

Needed a brew to stop me nodding off

[Stephen Paul]

as it stands at Half time Everton are down

[Stephen Paul]

and fat Sam down , easy money

[KunDB]

Not a meaningful match but still should not have lost it.

[Stephen Paul]

meaningless game and the squad fresh for next week

[gavin]

Well Pep wanted to maintain rhythm, that is that fucked. Then he says we've four players - Kev, Jack, Dias and Manuel not fit. All of a sudden it is not looking good. We need at least Kev and one of the defenders fit.

[KunDB]

In fairness I think the injuries are minor or more spin than substance.

[jingoe]

PL rules stipulate that you must play your strongest side - to protect the integrity of the competition. In other words you can't say I'm playing the youth team today as the FA cup is more important next week. If, however,  some players have 'niggles' it is sufficient to not have them in the squad. Hopefully we will have a fully fit bunch ready to go for the next two monumental games. If we win the treble I will have no issues if the Lord takes me the following day !

[Stephen Paul]

to be fair the two Madrid games and Everton in between were tough for the players and now we have time to prepare for the two cup finals

[Neil Mcnab]

Hope those who were injured have had the magic sponge treatment and are now fully "recovered."
