Exactly, Foden, Mahrez, Alvarez and Laporte are considered rotation at the moment but are world class players.It will be rotated side but still strong side. But not makeshift side - no Palmer, Perrone players like that.
Were more than capable of winning that game comfortably if we play like we did against Bayern over the two legs.It's quite simple?
Beat Madrid by four or five on Tuesday night and we don't need to rest anyone at Everton ;)
Give me community shield everyday.He will, as he should. We need to start winning the CL trophy if we want the recognition as the best side in the world. Our fringe players should be good enough for Everton, and if they are not, Man City is not a place for them.
Oh boy I fucking wish :)It's quite simple?

What's changed?I'm not as confident of us winning the league today as I was this time yesterday. Very good win for arsenal yesterday and we have a huge (wanted to say massive) 8 days coming up. Think we'll get kicked all over the park next Sunday. Would love an early goal to settle the nerves
You saw how shit we was that second half against Leicester with palmer gomez and Phillips playing didn't you? If we play the likes of them Everton will get points of us.He will, as he should. We need to start winning the CL trophy if we want the recognition as the best side in the world. Our fringe players should be good enough for Everton, and if they are not, Man City is not a place for them.
I dont see too much need for rotation in the league.
Footballers playing in a winning, successful team want to play and play and play. The games can't come fast enough for them. They have the best medical and scientific resources in the world behind them to deal with fitness and fatigue, and so far, Pep's rotated the squad brilliantly.It's not something we can decide, we have no info about the physical and mental state of the players. Apart from having to win in the league, including vs Liverpool and Arsenal, our players had two extremely taxing games vs Bayern. They ran 122 km in the 1st leg and 118km in the 2nd leg. By comparison, we ran normally about 110km in league games. If we don't rotate players, we risk to finish the season not in our best form. Pep will take risks and will be blamed for it by some fans...

So, stop being a bunch of fanny-wipes.
Not weird, just stating facts to those on here - and your opinion seems similar to mine - who will find something to worry about no matter how well we're doing, ignoring the sheer brilliance of everything about City at the moment. That includes Pep's rotation, and none of us can ever second guess what he'll do in that regard, but, I'm very happy that City are in his, and his medical team's, hands.Weird comment, it's not like I have blamed Pep...
My message was: Don't tell Pep whether and how much to rotate. Stop being stupid.
Spot on.Why all the uncertainty?? Since Christmas we have been watching some of the best football ever. I was concerned about the Arse game but watching us destroy them and roll over Bayern we should be quietly confident about the next 4 games in the league. Some people panicked at the end of the Lids game but from where I was sat in the stand we literally walked that game. I honestly cannot see any team living with us at present. Go back and watch those games and believe it is coming home, again.

If folk can't be optimistic with this management and squad, it's time they took up another sport as it's unlikely to get better than this. And that is the same message as yours, so, if you find that weird, read it again. I was trying to help our resident negative fanny-wipes.
There is also the fact Everton would need to go for an actual win against us if they lost tonight, which is easier for us than the usual bus we face!
I’m sure arsenal would say the same about southampton , everton west ham, maybe others. We alway drop points against team we’d expect to beat, Palace and Southampton recent years. All teams do, seems pointless going over old ground.Just think, wins against Villa, Brentford, Forest and the rags would have given us an additional 10 points and we would have been Champions already
Or look at it another way, Brighton aren't all they're cracked up to be.Everton hit a bit of form right before they play us
Yeah.Or look at it another way, Brighton aren't all they're cracked up to be.
