Theres no priority. Its one game a week now. No need to rest anyone or prioritise a game over the other. Strongest 11 in both games no dicking about

We’ve got a week between games which is more than enough rest. Go full tilt tomorrow and batter the 3rd placed PL runners up.

Pep Guardiola: "Injuries and fitness issues? They are, all of them, more or less fine."

♥♥♥♥ Great!
Now just WIN tomorrow. Just crush them!!!!!!!!!
We need to play the best lineup possible and play with full force like we did with Madrid. Then it's like water flowing in a river. It will go its way.
WIN tomorrow please!!

We own a team in India. Other than Sachin Tendulkar and ashwarya Rai, he's probably the biggest name in India. Maybe to get more interest over there?

I was aware of the Indian connection with the CFG. It's just annoying that celebs (from wherever they hail) get tickets when blues who have spent a lot of money this season following our band of mercenaries couldn't get their mitts on a ticket. But I guess it's always been that way, and always will. Istanbul will be as bad, if not worse.

Can anyone tell me what connection either of those have with us? Is it something to do with Puma?

No idea but he is revered in India so if he says we are his team we will gain millions of new fans

Which games are those? I can think of a few where we weren’t 100% at it for various reasons. Liverpool & Leicester come to mind. Which other ones?

Semi final v Chelsea. A nothing performance.

But that's what's supposed to happen when we invite the press. They come in too close and we quickly play it round them. It looked a bit ropey at Brighton because we didn't have our first choice players receiving the pass out and playing it off quickly

Rodri is the absolute key to the SYSTEM...he's playing tomorrow...

If they try to press us we'll score 10.

Please score 10

Anybody having thoughts of Pep changing things up a bit? I don't see how it can be anything other than:

Ortega

Walker
Dias
Stones
Ake

Gundogan
Rodri
KDB

Grealish
Haaland
Bernardo

That being said I wouldn't be totally surprised to see Foden or Mahrez crack the lineup.

 

[super_city_si]

As long as that's the 9, I'm not too fussed about who makes up the other 2 places.

For me, I'd go with Ake as he's quicker getting the ball out to Grealish.

Would go for Foden on the other side as well as can't see Shaw going forward so no real need for Bernardo out there.

Agree. I'd start Foden in this and Bernardo CL. Bernie can come on 20 mins left to get some life in his legs

Please score 10

In a perfect world it's 10 goals with another 10 minutes of "Oles" at the end.

 

[citizen_maine]

Please score 10

...and then, in he second half, we can really go for it

He's a City fan, I believe. And pretty open about it.

First I've heard of it. But I'll take your word for it.
