I’m looking forward to the match today I’m confident we can get the 3 points,c’mon City!

I think Everton pulling out a shock against Brighton last week has got people twitchy, theres a good reason why they are fighting relegation. As long as we go into the game focused and giving them the respect that any team should get we will be fine.

As soon as the team is announced. 1pm there'll be a meltdown.

The same people that normally moan that he's left out Kev, Rodri etc, will be moaning that he hasn't left out Kev, Rodri etc

 

[Otamendi's Beard]

I say we go strongest side (maybe minor alterations between Foden/Grealish, Alvarez/KDB, Ake/Akanji/Walker, Bernardo/Mahrez) for next 3 matches in a row.

Practically secure the PL along with UCL final then rotate last two PL matches where needed.

Dias, Stones, Rodri, Gundo & Haaland are essential for me.

 

[BringBackSwales]

You might not have the same level of fear about the game as some and as the Etihad can only accommodate 57k fans your comments and slagging off of others who love City only prove you are the ****.

57k???

 

[urban genie]

Need Dias for games like this. Also Rodri needs saving for Wednesday

we need our best footballing defender to calm the back line so stones is a must, with wednesday in mind you don't risk dias or ake, and akanji had fulfilled the role near perfectly while dias was out

 

[urban genie]

I will be amazed if he plays Rodri

unless he thinks gundo can do the role against a load of cloggers he will imho, Philips won't start over berny or Ilkay as rodders replacement

 

[halfcenturyup]

Clean sheet victory

No injuries or cards

Hopefully good subs to rest some players.

Shoulders back,chests oot,heads oop !!

At ease, soldier.

Ugh, no doubt goblin tyler and ratty neville will be wanking each other silly wanting Everton to win.

Are we playing without a keeper?

Ederson is playing as a false keeper, playing in goal when we defend and as an extra midfielder when we have possession. Pep’s latest stroke of genius.

As much as I want us to win this game, we’re in the enviable position of being able to drop points and the League is still in our hands.Wednesday is the most important match of the season so far, we win that and we have the best chance of finally winning the CL a massive monkey off the clubs back.We can then go full strength for the remainder of the season and hopefully win the lot.
I trust Pep to make the right choices today whatever the result.

Whilst we can, mathematically, afford to drop points, I wouldnt want to have to rely on wins at Brighton and Brentford to win the league. Wins today and at home against Chelsea next week are really important. I read this morning that Pep wants the players to prioritise the league over the Champions League. Thats probably him reinforcing “one game at a time” but I agree with him. I want to win the CL but I want the league more.

 

[SWPISHOME]

It's a case of damned if you do, Damned if you don't.

If he goes full strenght and pick up and injury, Pep will get blame on here.

If he drops players and we drop points, Pep will get blame on here.

Ect

At the end of the the day Pep wants what we all want and that's to win the game today and win trophies. He will do what he thinks is best for the game today.

Come On City!

 

[BringBackSwales]

We win today and we have a far better chance of winning on Wednesday.

Foreign station or mute mate.

Occasionally I'll put chuckle/tyler on late in the game to laugh at them.

 

[ManCityGR!]

Just WIN today, just WIN!!!!

He can do what he wants as long as we leave with 3 points by 4pm.

Won’t they be at the “big” game later this afternoon ?
