You have answered your own question! 😉

[Toadhall Saint]

Happy with that.

No he hasn’t.

He has merely identified one of the numerous locations that Tella is not in, to wit “the squad”. That does not answer the question “Where’s Tella?” Only clear unequivocal identification of Tella’s actual location would do that.😉

Sat himself down towards the end of the Brentford game before he was subbed.  

edit: This also does not answer your question.

I’m not sure where he is but he’s not in the squad.

[Chris cooper]

No tella .. who tactically goes down now on or around 60min for Ralph to rally !

[Diabolus Ex Machina]

Strong line-up. Actually think we can get something from this if we stay tight at the back and look for opportunities on the break with Broja or set pieces. Only the 3rd start of the season for Stu Armstrong having got a win against Villa and draw with Spurs on his previous starts. Also only the second competitive game KWP and Perraud will be playing together with the first being the draw with Spurs when Salisu got sent off in the first half. Be interesting to see how they do together.

Tella must either be injured or has tested positive for Covid

Or dropped to make room for teacher's pet Walcott?

I’m trying not to think that’s even possible 🤣

Time to lube up ....

[Suhari]

Good afternoon.

Looking forward to this. Not optimistic, but hopefully an encouraging performance.

[egg]

I think we'll ultimately be undone by Pep 's tactics. There team looks very fluid and whatever we do, they'll adapt to it, tweak what they do and dominate. Close first half I reckon, then the game will go. Hope I'm wrong. 

[obelisk]

First task is to keep 11 on the pitch.

[Saint_clark]

All city ffs, terrible performance so far, Ralph out. Adams will never be good enough to score against a team like city unless it rebounds in off his arse.

[Saint_clark]

Kind of early tackle from Dias there that we've got yellow cards for in recent games 🤦🏼‍♂️ 

[Sheaf Saint]

Not even a minute gone and Grealish has made his first dive.

Gonna be a long evening.

[trousers]

Early doors but looking like the makings of a 0-0 to me

I like Perraud but he worries me in this game. He has a tendency to dive in and overcommit, which can be suicide against such a dynamic fast moving forward line.

[Saint_clark]

Yesssssssss KWP!!!

 

 

Too early to score 😂

[trousers]

Yes!!!!

[stknowle]

YEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!! f**king superb finish!!!

[OttawaSaint]

Wow!!! KwP!

[Saint_clark]

Redmond is having possibly his best season for us.

[Suhari]

That was a sublime goal.

Extraordinary.

[OttawaSaint]

What a f**king peach!

[DT]

What a finish. Amazing. 

[trousers]

It's the only way they can guarantee good quality picture.

[LiberalCommunist]

[bender]

When was the last time City fell behind in a match ?

I had you down as a big girl in real life. Amazing how false impressions can be on an online forum

Only 4% possesion when we scored!!!

For my £25/month I'd rather have a live shite picture than a good quality feed that's 2 minutes late

Join the queue buster!

I’m going to enjoy these brief minutes being in the top half of the live Premier League table

[cloggy saint]

Uh-oh, that'll make them angry.

Probably when they won 5-1...?

[The Kraken]

Goal of the season contender that. From our own box to theirs in a lovely sweeping move. Reminded me of the Channon goal against Liverpool at the dell. 

[Saint_clark]

Broja is so intelligent and composed for someone of his age.

[Toadhall Saint]

Well well well

[trousers]

In before the inevitable equaliser... #tophalf

Fantastic goal of course but bloody good build up as well.

[Sheaf Saint]

There it is. 14 minutes for them to mention the points dropped from winning positions stat.

[Suhari]

How long until Che tries one from the halfway line?
