Just that Ange said it wasnt serious but didnt want to risk him for Newcastle and use the break for recovery.
Unless we're at that weird thing again not being upfront with the extent of injuries, he should be good to go for Sunday
Agree but we'll probably create fewer chances than we did in those games because Arsenal are stronger defensively.
Even more important that we're clinical. If we're not we'll lose, theyll score at least one.
Agreed.
We need a good perfornance and a big result.
Does feel like a pivotal moment.
Would give the squad and the fans a lot more belief to kick on this season.
Nah, their attack looks miles better than Arsenal's.
Players like Gravenbirch in midfield looking excellent now as well
Theyll be City's closet challengers this season imo.
On the surface it looks a very odd decision, partucularly after Ange's post pre season remarks.
As ever, will wait for more information before going off the deep end
Perhaps things have changed behind the scenes
I think he',s been a bit better than back end of last season, but not great....by his standards anyway.

Dropping Madders to the bench for a big game is maybe what he needs, and could have a real impact coming on second half.
I know he's two assists, but he's still...
I even think we're so over crowded in the final third sometimes, we've too many options which causes indecision, getting in each others way and generally being slower with our pass and move.
And ultimately we're easy to defend against.
We didnt make one signing that summer, what an opportunity which we absolutely wasted.
Im sure we could of made one or two.
But yes, your last pargraph - thats the hope.
You are right, but its why we wont compete at the top consistently.
We might get close or have a wee flirt with it but its not going to get us there and keep us there.
Arsenal spent big on players, like Rice, that they desperately needed and its propelled them to that level
Its just the...
