Ask yourself who was at fault the other night v wolves and also who was at fault at Anfield I don't watch the game with blinkers on unlike some.

You must do

Jeez I have been ready a lot of the team lists put up on here, I wonder when sides were selected for a derby, barring injuries, where both KDB and Aguero put forward. It is a testament how the whole squad is in form, and I really hope that we blow them away, whichever team is selected.

 

[M12Blue]

Have any of the media tried one of those combined XI's they like to do on the run up to the Derby. Would love to see which Rags players they would try to shoe horn in?
Genuinely wouldn't have a single one their squad at City. Maybe they should try a combined 2nd XI?

I’m sure I saw something about how man first teams would get on city’s bench comparison sonewhere. The answer was none obviously

 

[M12Blue]

Peps team talk for me hopefully: so boys first 1/3 season but shaky whilst found fitness and rhythm, 2/3 you’ve all done as we’ve asked, worked hard, won lots so me and trainers reckon you can have a fun day on Sunday as a treat, so let’s play ‘barbarians’ football and smash the dirty c#nts’

No. 5 will always be the best one.

Dias was at fault against Liverpool but Mahrez was at fault against Wolves. He just let Coady breeze past him on the edge of the box instead of blocking him. If he does his job Coady cannot get anywhere near the ball.

Pep should allow Ederson the day off to avoid the Rags using their second string GK as their excuse for defeat. Young Steffan needs some practice before the Everton cup tie.

Why won't the Alpaca be back?

 

[WallyA]

Even though Cancelo and Walker just played, and Zinchenko could be back in, I feel Pep will want Walker to go against Rashford, so he will stick with them again.

Mahrez likely starting also because he has been too good, most rest between games we've had in a while so he should be fit.

 

[chickaroon]

Pointless trying to predict a team when almost every player is bang in form

I can't remember the last time I looked forward to a derby more than this

This. A hard selection for Pep.

 

[Hayley Croppers chopper]

Nor does it have to be in the box

or before the final whistle

It was Mahrez who didn't stop Cody's run for their goal. At Annfield he made his first and only mistake.

If we destroy them on Sunday, it won’t even make the 10 o’clock news! The BBC will feature a lost cow stuck in a marsh or anything to shift target.
But.... if the rags get a win, it will be hailed as the greatest comeback and the team to stop city, and the title race is back on blah blah blah. You all know how it goes.
We will be kicked off the park without punishment until the 86th minute when the first card will come out for them. There will be more diving in our box than at a Tom Daley reunion. VAR will be their weapon of choice, and we know how that works in their favour.

Smash the rag cünts and watch OGS have a meltdown.
6-1 would be perfect.
Priceless.

Have got the first figure upside down perchance? Lol

 

[Newman Noggs]

It's so hard to predict our line-up it gives the opposition no chance to plan how to counteract it. OGS is as in the dark as we are. Love it.

The rat

Its only taken us eight games to build the gap which shows how quickly things can change. I really would like it if we could give them a real shoeing. Just to make sure they absolutely know their place. A long way behind us.

Position	Club	Pl	GD	Pts

Biggest call is Kev. We struggle with the counter when (a) he is not on form and (b) he plays a high risk passing game. I would leave him on the bench until we have control. West Ham and Wolves had chances because we lost possession cheaply mainly through Kev & Sergio.

He is not needed for this game and will only put us under pressure on current form.

Foden,Gundo, Bernie, Cancelo, rodders, Jesus needed to nullify the only threat from the rags.

imo no Kev and no Sergio until we have the game won or if its not working with plan A.

I agree with what you have said. But shouldn't we put in Fernandinho as he pocketed Bruno in the Carabao Cup Semi Final. Would this xi be any good?

Ederson
Walker Stones Dias Cancelo
Fernandinho Rodri
Foden Gündogan Bernardo
Jesus
