Not a patch on Ale Banbury though.

What does Grealish bring to the party? Flicks and tricks but gets nowhere. And what's the mail on Sterling?
Just like my dreams they fade and die.
But on the positive side..............

Has he sustained an injury that they do not wish to discuss or has he suffered a family bereavement perhaps? Or, is it something more sinister.............!?!


Luke Shaw's Grandmother apparently passed away before our opening game and I note that he is still there. It is all rather odd.
This might not be correct but seems to be a bit of a coincidence......

Sterling absent with family issues. Ben White also away with domestic issues...

I would be happier with Nick Pope in goal who I think is a proper diver - I often think Pickford is more ball to hand than hand to ball. Basically the ball just fucking hits his arm or an elbow. That might be a bit harsh but that's what the TV pictures show - especially noticeable in slo-mo replays.

I would rather see Grealish off the bench than Raheem ...

and we might remember, Walker and Stones have kept Mbappe quiet every time Man City played PSG

Allegedly he could be outed before he wanted to.
Why that would force him to go home is anyone's guess. It's not even a topic is it?.
Edit to say that this is only hearsay on my part.

Just read that Sterling's home got robbed. Half a million dollars worth of watches pinched.
