I think Tosin might step up.

Should have brought Adarabioyo for Kompany instead of Garcia.

It is indeed.

Thirded. Pep has been very careful in his integration yet leaves Vinny out there to for the 90?

Is this how Pep dealt with those he couldn't handle, like Yaya?

those are dark thoughts but inevitable in the circumstances, maybe that is why he was so upset - not even taken of for Tosin. Having said that Gundogan got a long first game back too.

Clichy says vinny is tired, apparently.

Probably cos he wasn't tested. Thing is it only takes one VK lunge and he's done.

No point stressing as he'd have only done it in a tougher game later down the line.

Good point Trying to blame the manager for expecting a full game is ridiculous

Tired of always being injured?

Did Vinny walk off before the final whistle?

I feel sorry for Angelino. He never got going.
Sane and Nacho's touch first half were just as bad.
I didn't think Stones played well at all.
Same did grow in confidence when Kev came on and added a touch of class in the centre.
Navas put in several great balls and as others have said, is a great professional to have on the squad.
Garcia is very comfortable in a Pep team and this game should do his confidence wonders.

Not a spectacular performance but we still got the job done and got to play a few kids.

Now.....the elephant in the room.....what the hell is the story with Vinny?

Agree. If you declare yourself fit, you should be able to play a full game. Otherwise play a few training matches until you're ready.

Whatever just happened its sad stuff. The guy has been a rock for us until last season and he's City through and through. If repeated injury then he isn't going to be going anywhere else his days ate done. Would like to see him stick around.

Tired of being a professional footballer more likely

I'm not trying to blame the manager. It's just customary to sub a player who has been out for some time. It's was unusual but it's a fair point that he was left out there as he wasn't tested.

Anyway, 9 wins on the bounce. Well done all concerned.

It's happened so frequently now that unfortunately some of the problem will now be between his ears.
