Shame that Alvarez isn't starting, not sure why tbh. Just not a fan of that midfield especially against teams with high energy.

Fuck off dick head

Lovely.

Let's hope we are both wrong and it all clicks but there is zero pace and limited recovery in that midfield.

Even forgot Phillips in that post or is he still broken ?

Who knows, but he needs to play at some point because we do seem to overplay Rodri.
In the last couple of seasons he does seem to wear down toward the end, which is when we need him most.

Looking forward to seeing how Ake deals with Saka. I think that'll be key to the outcome.

Not even starting Alvarez in the cup. He won't sign that new contract if Pep ain't putting faith in him. Especially annoying as think his energy would be invaluable here, like say Gabby's was vs the likes of Real Madrid and PSG.

10 out of 11 isn't too bad

It is

Gets me how some posters don't even know who is /has been injured but find themselves qualified to give opinions on line ups

 

[Eccles Blue]

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 them Southern softies trying to beat us. Especially that media lot with their biased, one eyed, one sided stupid reporting.
Good luck John Boy. You show ‘em as well lad.

The best team in the land and all the world.

So Ake vs Saka to stop Arsenal?

Pocketed Messi at World Cup. Saka walk in the park....Touch wood

What minute does Tierney go down holding his face?

Let's hope we are both wrong and it all clicks but there is zero pace and limited recovery in that midfield.

It does seem Guardiola's favoured line-up. Not one I like to be honest though. Would prefer to see the 4-3-3 that we have used the last few years but that seems out of favour and he is seemingly going to stick with this new set up, no matter what.

It is if you’re claiming that you’ve been given the team news.

ITV will cram the studio with guest pundits from ex-rags & the arse, with Lee Dixon on co-comms.
