For what it's worth i believe whoever wins this game will go on and win the league

Completely agree.

If we win, they will think how on earth are we only 4 points ahead after our start which would surely deflate them. Also, taking away their air of invincibility is so important and will start to put doubts in their mind.

I’d probably go with this too. Left back is such a problem but how do you fix it?

Only 1 way :( buy.

 

[rnblade]

Not like you to be negative

Take your blue tinted specs off pal, you have to admit we are defensively frail at the moment. We have some serious injuries to our squad but should have enough to give them a scare, but if we squander the chances like we have been, then we cannot blame anyone for a loss v Dippers.

 

[super_city_si]

I feel that we will need to score at least 3 to get anything out of this one.

 

[Dr Jacoby]

I can’t say I’m terribly confident about this game, especially as De Bruyne is likely to be out.

Like at their gaff you mean?

Has it been confirmed that he's actually injured or might he have been held back as a precaution?

 

[Armaan]

So worried about the LB spot, Zinchenko has a few mistakes in him he’ll need to have a near perfect game. We are better than them but it’s such a fucking shame that we have no LB. City are a different animal with David in the middle, I’m going for 3-2 City.

We play the strongest team possible..
Ederson
Walker
Laporte
Stones
Danilo
Fern
Silva
B.silva
Sane
Sterling
Aguero..
Walker hasn’t had the best of games this last few weeks. But games like this focus the mind .

Pep says he has a little problem and he doesn't know about next game

 

[Deleted member 81382]

Ederson
Walker
Kompany
Laporte
Danilo
Fernandinho
De Bruyne
D Silva
Sterling
Sane
Aguero

 

[bewildered]

This is a game when we should play 3 at the back. Its a time for a pragmatic selection.

Sterling always plays shit against them, so keep on the bench until we have control or need more going forward if chasing the game.

Vinny is just too slow and is a red card waiting to happen against them. Doubling up the holding players in MF should give is better control of the midfield.



for me
Ederson

Stones The Otter Laporte

Walker Danilo. Ferna Zinchenko

Bernardo (Kev if fit) Dave

Sergio

Bernardo will be important. Same as away, when he played a bit deeper and continually broke their press by dribbling through.

 

[Gabriel]

When we lost to them last year, we had a couple of home games afterwards to jump right back in the saddle, whereas they have to go to Wolves and then Brighton after they face us. Wolves is in the Cup, of course. While we played within ourselves in the corresponding fixture, we did enough to win it, but this time I think we need to go all out to win it.

Zinchenko as a wingback against them is laughable. The position on the pitch that you most need pace and an unbelievable engine.

 

[deano ou812]

They will come at us from the off,hoping to get a quick goal and put us under the cosh possibly expecting us to be slightly fragile in the mindset if conceding early doors,think we need us the fans to be right on them and give these cnuts a taste of their own medicine,booing every time they touch the ball,jeering every foul to be putting pressure on the ref anything to create a horrible atmosphere for them to make it totally uncomfortable..

 

[Goater=Legend]

Doubt they will come at us tbh, think they'll just sit back and try and counter attack us all game

I think Thursday night could be the noisiest night at The Etihad (So it should be) every one of us should be up for this one! I know I'm buzzing!! Come On City!
