Right.
Everton Leicester perfect result that.

We got absolutely zero chance against you lot.
Massive European matches coming up.
Realistically we can pick up plenty of points for remainder of season after AZ.

So on that basis.

I hope we put out a second string v you lot, defend for our lives to keep our goal difference down.

Take a 3-0 loss.

I hope we put out a second string v you lot, defend for our lives and keep the score down as our goal difference is good enough down there.

Take a 3-0 loss.

Haaland hat-trick incoming - by consent!

if Ake is back, stones or dias has to be rested for this one I think.

We beat you, Wham stay up easily and win that Euro lottery thing you are in :-)

 

[Badensbluemoon]

West Ham is going to put up a fight, making this game very challenging and very phisical so we will have to be up for it. I just hope we don't get any injuries

 

[Andouble]

I think I’d start Phillips and if he’s a disaster you hook him at halftime. KDB out, Rodri and Gundo desperate for a break. He may be a dud but the games are coming too thick and fast.

i read all the posts. Most of you seem very pesimistic about this game. I say play best XI available then then make some rotations vs Leeds. I expect Arsenal to drop points vs Chelsea. Halaand must start he will get a brace.

 

[Mad Eyed Screamer]

Certainly wouldn't be starting Mahrez. Was poor today and no fight in him whatsoever. He usually ok when things are going in our favour but when the going gets tough, he just doesn't want to know.

A bit harsh, it was a narrow pitch, he loves the width that he gets at City (and Wembley)

 

[Keeper!]

3 points needed by hook or by crook.

Performances irrelevant now.

 

[bluemoon32]

Rodri needs a break but the thought of starting Phillips makes me cringe

Robinson bottled him up all game, he looks a good prospect.

Strong,quick,athletic,2 good feet.

Phillips v Rice in the centre of midfield ??

 

[BlueMoonRisin’]

Rodri needs a break but the thought of starting Phillips makes me cringe

The answer is simple. Play Johnny Stones and give Rodri a well earned rest.

 

[nellyonthewing]

Play Ortega ,Ederson needs benching for his slapdash showing at Fulham.

Minutes applause on Wednesday against West ham in 23rd minute in remembrance of Marc Vivien Foé to mark the 20th anniversary of his death.

Have asked my friend to mention on radio Manchester on Wednesday to raise awareness and also emailed club to ask them to display photo of him on scoreboard and put something in programme.

Against his former team too so should get whole stadium to do it.
