Great to see Alvarez with his WC medal.

Esme Morgan speaks well for someone who is still quite young - great to see a girl who grew up watching City playing in our Womens team.

Phillips had to start this, guy needs games, he's not going to click straight away either so should have been starting today and midweek. I'm not a fan of Palmer in midfield either, looks lost there, I want to see him out wide. Other than that, team is what we expected really, their side is stronger than anticipated after what they ended with on thursday but we should be getting the job done.

He's barely played all season so maybe they are slowly upping his minutes. The plan may therefore be for him to come on for the last 30mins or so then play 60mins against Southampton.

The Boys in Blue never give in. They fight to the end. Come on City. Come on City. Show ‘em lads, show ‘em all. Especially that bunch of Southern softies and the biased, stupid, blind media. You can do it lads.
The Best team in the Land and all the World.






I hope John Boy gets on the pitch early on. :-)

 

[BuryBlue1977]

Gooners at home

 

[mosssideblue]

Come on lads

Got the other southern softies if we win this

 

[Zin 'messiah' Zimmer]

Bent draw again lol

 

[Hoghead]

Mount playing for Chelsea. I just don't get the hype.

'Cos he will score no doubt

 

[yankblue]

Guessing Palmer on LW and Foden in midfield?

Only surprise to me is no Phillips but I see Pep mentioned he'll start midweek. Plenty in this side to go through

 

[brummie blue]

Bent draw again lol

only bent if we'd been away

 

[Shaffer92]

Some rough luck with the draws this season.

 

[Utter bobbins]

Mount playing for Chelsea. I just don't get the hype.

Put him down for 1st goal scorer now

Yes, amazing isn’t it. We don’t get any easy games. Mind you we’ve got to beat this lot first. :-)

 

[BuryBlue1977]

I preferred the days when we always got an easy draw

 

[Centurions]

The U's at home

 

[remember arthur mann]

How the fook have Chelsea put a team together ?!?!

 

[eversince 76]

Seeing the line-up you just wonder if this is the FA or the League Cup.

Anyway if we win it’s a hometie vs another former so called top 4 team depending if this so called top 4 team gets through as well.

How many yellow card offences will Kovacic be allowed before he goes in the book?
