Going to be watching Branthwaite closely this game, looks like a talented central defender.

So we could buy to play as a LB. Then we could just copy and paste the relevant comments from this year.

Wow didn’t know that. Feels like we are way off last season.

I think people are forgetting how unbalanced we were last season. The Stones hybrid role didn't emerge until February iirc and we had a period of poor results. Brentford at home we were really sloppy. They had plenty of chances and we didn't seem to learn our lesson during the game. Everton at home on NYE similarly flat with lots of the ball but not many shots on target. Then we got robbed at the swamp and lost away at the Spuds and even when we went top with the win at Arsenal we drew with Forest. It was all a bit disjointed and sloppy still and only after that result did we go up a gear and put together a winning run.

There haven't been many games this season where we've been really poor. Villa away, where the formation and probably a lack of options cost us. But it's more been a case of losing leads late on in games we've been comfortable and dominant in. Considering we've missed De Bruyne and Haaland for plenty of games and also seen Stones, Bernardo, Grealish and Rodri absent at different times we're in a good position now everyone is back.

Currently in Hua Hin, Thailand and will be for this game.

I’m sure loads of bars will show the game but is anyone aware of any with a City flavour?

Need to be wary of their set pieces as Brentford caused us quite a few problems from them but hopefully we have some shooting boots on and pick up the points

 

[bluemanchester]

I see you are resting Walker so he will be available to put Copenhagen to bed

That will be a hard one;-)

4th best defense in the league & 2 points behind Chelsea without point reduction but in the last 6 games (3L/3D) they fell into a small crisis...will be difficult

So you didn’t watch City in the 80’s & 90’s mate ;-()

Yes, and my comment still stands.

Try Break & Run @ Soy 94 mate, watched the Newcastle game there in January, nice bar & cheap

KDB, Alvarez, Nunes , Bernardo and Bobb in , what a lovely bench

You might post a picture of this Hua Hin person you speak of.
