[Mancini’s Pastilles]

Akanji partnering Rodri in DM again. Sigh

Shocking line-up!!!

Shocking line-up!!!

Games are won in midfield and thankfully we're strong there.

 

[stonerblue]

Doku and Alvarez losing the ball continually doesn’t excite me

Ffs.

 

[Don Karleone]

Nagging feeling we're gonna get screwed today

 

[MCFC1993]

Attack their right hand side. Gusto and Disasi is a poor combination. Doku needs to make the most of that.

 

[stonerblue]

Whingeing fuckers.. don't know why you bother?
COME ON CITY

 

[mdj0520]

John and bernie on the bench makes zero sense to me

COME ON BLUEBOYS

Yeah resting our vital player, John "injured 70% of every season" Stones so that he doesn't play 3 games in a week makes 0 sense.

Resting Bernardo Silva who has had recent injury concerns also makes zero sense.

Baffling decisions.




Sarcasm.

 

[Nour]

Doku in there constantly losing the ball as well. At least James is not playing, but still risky to have him in there today.

Yeah we play better with Grealish and stones for other reason

I'm pre-emptively removing myself from the matchday thread this evening, secretly I'm fuming with that starting 11.

 

[stonerblue]

Alvarez and Akanji in the mid is suicidal

Oh fuck off

 

[mosssideblue]

Shocking line-up!!!

Go on, explain why

 

[Goater=Legend]

Good team, just hope we have more control than we did at Stamford Bridge.

 

[OntarioBlue]

Akanji partnering Rodri in DM again. Sigh

Pep seems to be the only person who thinks this is a good idea.

 

[Damien10]

For years this fan base was screaming for more direct players. Now they don’t even want one direct player in the lineup haha.

Phillips sent off for West Ham I see…

Fannies everywhere. They should fuck off to the match thread

 

[sh249]

It’s going to be open. Just have to back our quality to win out.

 

[JakobC47]

We need to up the goal diff. Falling behind after Liverpool and Arse today.

 

[richards30]

Stones must be feeling it abit then and Pep is protecting him as it makes no sense otherwise. Bernardo did have a nasty cut to be fair but if we need him then he will come on.

 

[abu13]

It concerns me that Bernardo is on the Bench and we continue with Alverez, while I have nothing against Alverez I just feel that Pep is playing him to convince him to stay with us. He is too good to be coming off the bench every game but personally I feel we have more balance when Berny is on the pitch.
