Why wouldn’t you play Mendy?

Isn`t Bravo Injured (muscular)

I agree with Mike N. We certainly owe it to the Arsenal where they kicked us of the park. We also had the ref on their side that day as well.

So Pep no favours for your friend Mikel Arteta. Please play your strongest team and let's press them in their own half, instead of them pressing us in ours.

The idea we kicked you off the park is so risible, I can only imagine you’ve been on drugs

 

[Jack Hackett]

We are going to have to be on our game on Saturday. Can't be complacent against these buggers. Arteta aside - they are twats and need to be beat.

We are not twats - we are of a much higher order....maybe you’re confusing us with Stoke?

Why wouldn’t you play Mendy?

Coz he played yesterday

Eddy if Bravo is out

 

[Jacob Smith]

Ederson
Walker Garcia Laporte Mendy
Dinho
De Bruyne Gundogan
Mahrez Jesus Sterling

Subs: Carson, Cancelo, Stones, Zinchenko, Rodri, Bernardo, Foden, David, Doyle (think it’s 9 subs on the bench now..?)

Think we’ll win with a good performance but only by one goal in typical City fashion, probably a goal line clearance in the last minute of injury time for good measure!

Quietly confident, if we come out swinging it will be a knockout of devastating proportions...

Pep is at the business end and he normally puts others to the sword (domestically), he’ll use the momentum of the cas decision, taking us nicely into what could be an epic against Madrid, who are flying tbh... 6 cup finals left and a chance to create history, again!

I think David leaving is a big motivator as well, you can tell the players all absolutely worship him and they're desperate to send him off on a high.
