Brighton (H) - Wed 20th April, 20:00 | Pre-Match Thread

[Ric]

Hopefully the crowd will be up for it, and we can get an early goal to settle any nerves. Think we’ll line up something like this:

Ederson
Cancelo
Stones
Laporte
Ake
Rodri
Bernardo
De Bruyne
Grealish
Foden
Mahrez

 

[Tangled up in blue.]

A draw is no good tomorrow it has to be 3 points, because I can't see where the dippers are going to slip up

 

[eversince 76]

Tomorrow it’s our time to show Liverpool have a fight on their hands. Them and us are way above the rest.

Brighton is having a very good season. We meet them after they deservedly beat Spurs away. But they won’t park the bus. And we can beat them. That’s all that is needed tomorrow.

Actually, just reading some of Guardiola’s comments from the embargoed bit of today’s press conference then I think Dias could well start.

We need a leader back in the team. Great news.

 

[Benarbia’s Backheel]

Ederson

Stones, Dias, Laporte, Ake

Bernardo, Rodri, Gundo

Mahrez, Foden, Sterling

I think we’ll need to play this back four against Madrid with Walker out injured and Cancelo suspended, so we may as well get them used to playing together.

if Kev’s fit to start then get him in.
Must win. Come on city.

 

[Seth MCFC]

Ederson
Stones
Dias
Laporte
Cancelo
Rodri
De Bruyne
Bernardo
Mahrez
Foden
Grealish

 

[Big gay Al]

Just win.

 

[MCFC1993]

----------------Ederson
Cancelo---Stones---Dias-----Ake
------------------Rodri
-------De Bruyne----Bernardo
Mahrez---------Jesus-------Foden

I'd go with something along those lines.

 

[PepGuardiola]

Must win. And we need a big win!

 

[Keepingthefaithsince1976]

I think Bernardo needs a rest. He looked shattered on Saturday. We need him at 100% v Madrid as his energy is infectious.

Our boys will be fired up after this

After what? Reading this thread?

 

[Ted_Bovis]

Yep no more tiredness excuses, it's down to hunger and desire
If the dippers can then we must

Hunger and desire is what motivates Luke Shaw. Not sure those tactics will be too good.

 

[Bluekiwi]

How come no one has suggested Zack in goal?

 

[SWP's back]

I genuinely think along with wolves away this is our most difficult fixture left. Brighton away from home are one of the toughest teams to beat in the league.

Eh?

 

[Bluemoonadam]

We will win 2-1 won't be simple.

To keep calling fellow city fans “happy clappers” for daring to be positive and stick up for our team is a bit pathetic. I’d rather read their comments than the negative shit that loads put on here, slagging off anyone who is the chosen one at the time (Grealish atm) whilst having very little understanding about the game and crying like spoilt rags because we’re not 3-0 by half time. We’re actually pretty good you know getting slagged

Works both ways fella . Getting slagged for daring to have an opinion which doesn’t suit the majority on here . Maybe it is wrong to say that but shutting people down who dare to say somthing negative is also wrong .

7 more scrappy/lucky 1-0 wins whilst the dippers win every game 6-0 would be nice lol
