How do folks know Rico is starting?

I think the guy who knows his grandad has posted it.

Good decision if true, Arteta will put a forward on Rodri to stop us playing out so Rico there will give another option

Ederson
Lewis stones diaz ake
Rodri
KDB bernardo
Mahrez haaland grealish

Balls out, smash the cunts, marker down for 2 massive clashes coming up

Suspect he’ll have akanji and gundo in though

Be disappointed if I don't return home from the game drenched in red wine and caviar that comes raining down from the tarquins situated above us in the SS tonight.

Foden not starting I got told

Foden not starting I got told

Shock horror :-(

 

[yankblue]

Big match just for the mental leg up a win would provide

Glad there's a spark playing Arsenal again. Haven't had that since Adebayor caused half their fanbase to have a heart attack

Trossard starts.
Foden does not start.

All I’ve got for now in terms of early news will update.

One thing is for certain , it will be a really good game of football not many teams come to the Etihad to slug it out but i believe Arteta will , he will not compromise , and if they are good enough and beat us then we should hold our hands up. Would also prefer the Goons to pip us to the title than the Rags or Dippers who's plastic sofa surfing fans are insufferable , no doubt there will be Goons crawling out of the woodwork as well but they are nowhere near as annoying as the other two and far away enough not to see one of them wearing their snide football jersey in the high street on the wind up.

Not withstanding i have a lot of time for Arteta , Jesus and Zinchenko ,but 100% want us to win an entertaining game which will be a great advert for football , the only fear i have is the officials and VAR making more headlines than the players , it happens too often in these big games.
Got a feeling it will end up all level , which i am not sure if it is extra time/penalties or replay ,the F.A. move the goalposts all the time , but would rather it be decided on the night , COME ON CITY

Walker is deep in the dog house with Pep, huh?

Do you have the link to this post?

Is Ederson full strength. There’s always a mistake in the guy

Idiot

 

[Gone for a Burton]

Clean sheet victory, no injuries or cards.

9 days recovery afore the ovva norf laaandan maankeees

 

[Dr Jacoby]

Mendy does not start.

 

[It'sBlue93:20]

Haaland starting I’ve been told. No Foden starting. Some on here have said Rico starts.

 

[RayCTID]

Good decision with Haaland. The keeper situation is slightly surprising given this is the lesser of the important games vs Arsenal

 

[deano ou812]

Haaland starting I’ve been told. No Foden starting. Some on here have said Rico starts.

What’s up with foden mate is he injured or is it other reasons ?

He had an injury. Hasn’t been in full training

 

[It'sBlue93:20]

Rodri and Laporte start. Haaland starts. Foden does not start. (This is via a new source but from what I’ve seen he is reliable and told me is 99% sure)
