Good job we’ve had no injuries though aye?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yeah and VAR doing us all the favours.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
All the talk of cities injuries but we had a ton as well. Down to only 2 defenders now. But unlike pep we play our cb in their position and then dont cry about it
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Exactly.

Injuries are ramping up for us now as expected the games are coming thick and fast.
Well off it today with Watford well up for it as i predicted, their best game of the season but it wasnt enough fortunately. Great 3 points much needed. Another injury picked up. On to Saudi Arabia or whereever it is, some warm weather for the lads.

We have a decent squad.
2 cbs injured. Two top class players playing.
Now 2 cms injured. Still have 5 options.
Played Milner lb trying to rest Robertson.
I reckon we are at the point now we can't afford any more. If a full back goes down now Milner will have to move and we are tonight see ox, Keita and Henderson
Hopefully we can have It quite easy in midweek and take the final.
Big festive schedule then before next rest.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Massive drop in quality at full back area when Milner has to play. We need full back cover in Jan if possible.
