why is everyone so worried about sterling , if it doesnt work out Pep will sub him. its that easy

You'd think that

Looks like we could set up to defend deep tonight and maybe play a bit faster, wouldn't call it counter attack exactly but i can see us playing more directly going forward and relinquishing some control over the game. Grealish and mahrez aren't going to do much pressing at all, they're the two poorest at it in our squad, although mahrez did put in a mammoth shift vs these last season, he's reverted back to the strolling Mahrez this season, hopefully Pep is on his wing first half to keep him in check.

our fullbacks are going to be isolated against phenomenal players, I'd back walker so long as he's calm and doesn't try to dominate Neymar, we all know he occasionally jumps into Billy big bollocks mode in an attempt to show how good he is and gets careless. cancelo is going to need Bernardo that side to help keep tabs on Messi.

Kind of feels like a friendly to me, I'll be disappointed for about 5 minutes if we were to lose. The Brugge result makes this a free hit really.

All pissed up women, I’m saying fuck all :-)))

They want me to drink with them, can’t remember the last time I felt intimidated :-)))

 

[yankblue]

Stronger side than I expected.

 

[deano ou812]

Hmmm Strange im feeling confident considering they have a stronger line up than the semi final games where I was shitting myself with worry over their team ...

 

[Bluemanc100]

Good analogy

If Raz was a pinball machine he'd be showing the "tilt" message 90% of the time

Sterling def deserves a chance , he is not done. He has carried England to the euros final this summer. Maybe this is his game.

I'll come back to you at full time. Not eaten yet so I'll tuck into a large portion of humble pie at full time, but I doubt it.

 

[Blu1]

Let’s see how messi, mbape & Neymar track back tonight.

Let’s Get an early goal & they will panic

Playing Sterling, is like having 10 men !

at the 87 minute point

 

[VinceYoungisaBLUE]

Playing Sterling at the moment is like playing a fruit machine that hasn’t paid out for a while. Keep playing it and sooner or later it will drop the jackpot

You sound like the Fernando Torres brigade, sometimes people just lose "it"

 

[M Gaudino]

Bernardo? Rest? Not in his dictionary mate

Bernardo has bad games, could be fatigue related.

surprised he wants rodri to play 3 times in a week after returning from injury - but at the same time did we really have to work that hard on saturday against chelsea?

 

[Boo or Boo-urns]

Dias, Cancelo & Grealish our ever-present outfield players in the EPL so far.

Worn down to a nub before the Dippers game.

First prize awarded for the biggest attempt at piss taking on the forum. Pep taking Sterling off. Give over.

Hopefully when we are 4 up,McAtee can get the last 20 mins.

Never in a million years

At about 78 minutes.

Only care what he does for City, and sadly this season he has done nothing.

if we get an early goal and keep the score they'll get frustrated and see a red card again

Very happy for McAtee and Wilson-Esbrand making the bench, great experience for them
