Ross Barkley

[Robertor]

Depends on how well they have been doing in training.

Don't think Barkley's injury should change our plans about whether they feature or if they do how long for. Even if we lost tomorrow it is not like it is a cup final - City lost their first game against Cardiff last year and went on to have a decent season.

Having a potential front 4 of McGeady, Osman, Pienaar and Naismith just won't do it though.

Its ok tho guys, we have a great backup in......

Leon "Fudging" Osman...

The fact this has been tweeted day before the season starts suggests wind-up to me.

No, no.

We're just that unlucky.

 

[Darth Toffeeman]

Need to sign a number 10 asap, Osman cannot play 90 mins week in week out. Typical

Its ok lads, we've had a great pre- season. Bobby's got it covered. Hibbert, Osman, Naismith, McGeady all starting tomorrow. In brown shoes we trust!

Not confirmed Coleman is out yet is it? Osman won't start if Naismith does and McGeady will likely start as Atsu has only been training a couple of days

lost 20 rep points for believing twitter, great that. Some bells on here.

Hahaha our season is going down the swanny and you're on about rep points. Have another 10

ARISE

 

[toffee matt]

So we've got one of the hardest starts to the season possible and we've got two of our best players unfit and one out injured.

Just eff off

 

[Prevenger17]

Have to question what the [Poor language removed] they've been up to in training for that to happen the day before the season starts.

Think you might have answered your own question there, friend.

 

[Tubey]

Suddenly we look horribly thin up top - no Barkley and probably no Mirallas or Lukaku at least starting for Leicester; beginning to really question the handling of the Belgian lads after the World Cup, had to surely plan to give them game time against Paderborn at the very least...

Hahaha you think our season is going down the swanny because Ross will miss 5 games and 2 internationals? nice one mate

Besic & McCarthy infront of Barry for me.

 

[BluenosePaul]

The ECHO understands the incident could actually have been worse, with the starlet - who only signed a new five-year deal just over a fortnight ago - narrowly avoiding an injury that could have wrecked the first half of his campaign.


Besic snapped him!!!
