Its admirable though. As fans nothing worse than rolling over with a weakened side like a lot of clubs do. Eddie Howe was famous for it at Bournemouth.

It is yes, credit to them.

 

[Phil1]

I like it. We are entering the period now where Pep ideally has around 16 players who he’s going to rely on most so expect to see minutes in legs for those who will be needed going into the business end.

 

[Gone for a Burton]

A bloody bone shaker in the first few minutes on Barclay to slow him down will help.

 

[Lovebitesandeveryfing]

What a bench that is!

Surprised that Rodri's even on it, to be fair. I don't think Pep should even be tempted to bring him on. Even if we're losing. Don't suppose he will, though. We absolutely need that man for all the upcoming games.

 

[Leeky]

Glad that dirty bastard Jacob Brown is injured, kicked fuck out of us last game

 

[stonerblue]

Solid back four

 

[dadnlad]

cant get on panel for all the other blues on there

 

[Vienna_70]

I’m very pleased with that side.

It’s great to see Kevin and Jack start, as well as Erling.

That 'tackle' he made on Foden could have seriously altered his career.

 

[big gaz]

Surprised to see Bernardo start. He's looked very tired in the last game or two.

Thought he was poor first half last game but got better and better in the 2nd half IMO.

 

[Jezza11]

Much deserved rest for Godri + Foden. Bit of a shame Oscar Bobb hasn’t started but he will have plenty of opportunities. Glad to see Grealish back in starting 11, hopefully todays the start of him getting back to full fitness + his best form cause we’re gonna need him in the big games.. Come on city!!

Typical Pep cup team. Mixture of starters and fringe players.

Hope Kev gets through ok, wouldn’t want him missing the rags. Rodri overdue a a rest with Alvarez. Got to be happy with that. Lewis not getting much of a look in tho! Bobb aswell.

Ideally we score 2/3 and get them both on for Kev and Bernie. Jack back is welcome news, Doku being so hit and miss and Bobb inexperienced.

Haaland to find the net. 1-3 City.

 

[Gaylord du Bois]

What a bench that is!

We'll find out how much it's worth, shortly.

 

[City & Blue Brazil]

Might be time to have a few quid on Luton with rodri not playing.

 

[TinFoilHat]

No fucking about with that team.

We mean business to get the job done quick.

 

[BlueMoonRisin’]

Might be time to have a few quid on Luton with rodri not playing.

I can never understand why any blue would back against us winning.

Yeah, I'm surprised to see him in the side. An injury in this game would be disastrous with the next two PL games in mind. Indeed, the month as a whole.

Stops Alti sending him off.

Exactly my thought.

That's the spirit.
