Good to see Laporte on the bench. Dias obviously not injured is also good news. Shame about Rodri though. he and Bernardo are the glue that holds the team together I think.

Other than that, not a bad line-up and hopefully good enough for the 3 points.

 

[Chiefmcfc]

Why only him?, the whole team need to bring their A game to beat the rags.

Im not asking him to score or deliver a 10/10 its more of the sense of him not shying away from running at people and continuing his form from the wolves game. At Wolves he was a constant presence in the attack, thats all im asking for today.

 

[Crooked_rain]

If we keep a clean sheet, I’m confident that we’ll at least nab a draw.

You are Michael Owen and I claim my prize

 

[TonyM]

Where's Rodri? Apologies if I've completely missed something reared to him.

 

[whp.blue]

The cb pairing is a worry, Gundo is too slow to play the Rodders role and doesn't put his foot in.
Fucking hate derbies.

 

[Cobwebcat]

Rodri suddenly out is a bit weird. COVID?

 

[buckshot]

Gundo in the Rodri role, hopefully he errs on the side of caution all match.

 

[oldius]

Great side. Come on boys.

 

[simon23]

No dias either. We are a lot weaker than I'd have hoped. That left side of ours looks vulnerable and the gaps between are midfield and defence will be exploited. Cancelled and walker need to be very disciplined are we will get hit on the break. We need to be a lot more compact than we have this season.

 

[SebastianBlue]

Good thing we invested in shoring up our midfield options…

 

[GaudinoMotors]

How fragile my optimism was.

 

[discopop]

Still a good team provided grealish isnt the invisable man passing it back constantly

COME ON BLUEBOYS

Kaz remember when you used to go apeshit at posters digging out Raheem before a ball had been kicked? Don’t be that kind of poster about Jack eh.

 

[Manchester_lalala]

It takes a special kind of **** to buy a half and half scarf at a derby.

Or perhaps it’s just a tourist coming to one of the worlds biggest games and treating themselves to some memorabilia?

[ninjamonkey]

Back 4 makes complete sense they're pace merchants upfront we combat it with our quickest back 4. Would have had foden on the left to terrorise dalot and alvarez on the right instead of Grealish but apart from that it's sound with what we have available. No excuses, be as up for it as them and our superiority wins.

Let’s smash the rag bastards ..

Or perhaps it’s just a tourist coming to one of the worlds biggest games and treating themselves to some memorabilia?

I think my point still stands in that instance ;-)

 

[Chiefmcfc]

Yeah im fine with this lineup, we’ll win boys.

 

[jjctid]

Oh that grating horrible whining fucking accent of Reddy ,what the fuck is she ??

Apart from the obvious reasons WHY is she even on Sky when it is a Manchester deby?

 

[discopop]

Wasn’t that our code for Covid last season?
