Is ferna on 9 bookings? Should really look to pick up one against Burnley in that case

Isn’t that a two match ban ?

Isn’t that a two match ban ?

Think so, would not want him out for the carabao final though, that’s what im thinking

Didn't get booked tonight so still on 7 I think. Although they'll prob try to ban him for that tackle.

 

[moon]

? Did he get booked tonight

 

[citytill1die84]

Ederson

Walker Laporte Otamendi Zinchenko

Fernandinho

B.Silva KDB Gundogan Sterling

Aguero.

Team pretty much picks itself due to injuries. This will be a tough game.

2-0 City.

 

[Hungarian blue]

Ferna has 8 yellows as of now so he's just about fine currently.

 

[davymcfc]

Well well well. A very tough away game especially given the right schedule but if we go there and win then we can really start to see the finish line.

 

[kiam06]

Another legbreakathon to get past.

We should have enough to beat them.

 

[Benarbia’s Backheel]

Ederson

Walker
Ota
Laporte
Zinchenko

Gündogan
De Bruyne
B.Silva

Sterling
Diaz
Agüero

Desperately need to give Fernandinho a rest. Could even stick Stones in DM...

——————————Ederson—————————
———Otamendi—-Stones—-Laporte———
Walker——————-Yaya——————Zinchenko
—————-De Bruyne——B.Silva——————
———————Aguero——Diaz————————

Could also go for this.

Rest for Fernandinho and Sterling.

I think with the amount of attacking injuries we have it may be a good idea to go to this formation. Diaz looked ready to start tonight..

Otamendi

Danilo
Fernandinho

[deano ou812]

This will be a tough one gonna say draw ..

 

[SebastianBlue]

This will be a tough one gonna say draw ..

May the streak continue...

 

[BongoCityzen]

Same XI as today

 

[WesthoughtonJohn]

Tempting after today to say play the U23s.
Sick to death of the lack of protection from "so called" Premier League referees.
Champions League is a real possibility this season - if we can keep our key players fit.
We can give players nearly a month off ditching this fixture and the Wigan cup tie

i can see fernandinho being banned for this one and the next two domestic games as the bbc are reporting that rag madeley missed fern stamping deliberately on a west brom players thigh. how they know he missed it and just didn't decide it was accident is beyond me its as if they have immediate access to his notebook after the match. an enforced rest may work in our favour as he does need a rest. is the stamp from fernandinho on a loop on ssn? those thugs should have had 3 reds tonight but two yellows as per the norm for red card challenges and nothing to see re the assault on walker.

 

[Andouble]

Even though it’ll be a tough physical match I would start Danilo over Walker. Kyle has been piling up the minutes this season.
