De Bruyne suffers a knee injury in training. He will go in for tests in the coming days to determine the severity, but the article mentions he was spotted with crutches. Speculation on twitter is this injury appears to be similar to the knock he took against Everton a few seasons ago that saw him miss 2 months of action.

As a City fan it sucks being without quite possibly the best player on the team. The only positive is City is loaded with playmakers at the attacking mid positions (David/Bernardo Silva, Gundogan and Folden could get some extended time). The only position that would really hurt City if they lost their starter would be holding mid as Fernandinho is the only outright player we have at that spot and anyone behind him would be a temporary fix.

 

death, taxes, and de bruyne injury.

 

Yup, anything happens to Fernandinho and I'd think they'd be in trouble but I believe Pep plans to play Stones at Fernandinho's position if anything happens to the Brazilian. Either way if I'm playing City I'm "unintentionally" intentionally trying to injury Fernandinho. Give him some Sergio Ramos "unintentional" injury stuff.

The Tottenham jerseys are strange to me. They go from white and fade into the navy. It makes them all look like they’re wearing their shorts really high up. Like old man high.

 

Ohhhhh Alex Iwooobi!

 

That was a better effort. That was a very encouraging performance

 

Tough schedule is tough.

 

The next two months will be nice though

 

You know why Guendouzi is starting? I know he is a talent but he is still 19 yrs old and possibly raw.

 

He and Torreira are our best ball tracking defenders. And honestly Guendouzi has been the best and most consistent player on the whole squad from preseason to the last two weeks

 

I hope Arsenal can stabilize the Defense to have more clean sheets and improve in road games, I think they had like a losing record there.

 

Yeah they won one road game all last season, it was pathetic
