The 50 million FPL Managers that forgot to change their captain seeing this:

 

[Gabriel]

I have it on good authority that Pep will be on the touchline tonight.

If he wasn't such an egotist he'd sit down more...

 

[mancboy]

Gotta love the resident body language experts on here.

Im no expert, i just thought kev in particular looked fed up, you know like how people look at you when you try and make a smart remark

He looked like he was trying his fucking bollocks off to me. Probably frustrated at things not coming off. Probably knackered from running so hard. Fed up and poor body language my arse

 

[deano ou812]

can’t wait to see what the line up is now with apparently De Bruyne and Haaland not starting,surely foden will be central..

 

[mancboy]

He looked like he was trying his fucking bollocks off for me. Probably frustrated at things not coming off. Probably knackered from running so hard. Fed up and poor body language my arse

Clearly i was wrong, maybe he is just that tired

 

[SebastianBlue]

Im not ever so disappointed that kdb and haaland dont start, their body language against arsenal was well off tbf

Didn’t see that at all myself.

Just saw two players that were frustrated that nothing seemed to be coming off for them as they worked their bollocks off against a team kicking, shoving, and pulling them up and down the pitch, as the referee gave nonsensical explanation after nonsensical explanation as to why he wasn’t booking anyone for clear foul accumulation (sometimes in the same sequence of play) and/or straightforward yellow card offences.

 

[Eccles Blue]

I’m gutted. I had a fall earlier and went over on my ankle but thought I would be ok. However it’s too painful. Ok for meandering around the house but not for the pleasures of the stairs of CBL1.
Why can’t we do ‘Beam me up Scotty’ yet?
It’s not my week. :-( :-)

 

[GaudinoMotors]

That window looking better each game.

I won’t explain why, as it is too depressing a conversation right before a match, especially for an injured lass such as yourself.

Hope your ankle mends quickly!

 

[Manchester_lalala]

Alvarez up top and Foden behind him, I don’t see a problem with that. Alvarez will be keen to put in a good performance.

 

[MCFC1993]

At a guess.

------------------Ortega
Lewis---Akanji---Dias---Gavrdiol
------------Rodri-----Kovacic
Bernardo-----Foden--------Doku
------------------Alvarez


I'd like Grealish involved but don't think he's ready to start.

Okay okay i was wrong consider me corrected

 

[Gorton_Tubster]

Dreading this game after the arsenal result. We NEED to get the result here, much tougher games coming up.

Cmon city!

Is Haaland injured?

Get in the treatment room with John.

 

[phargrave]

No shocks there…

Speedy recovery Blue!

C'mon City back to winning ways please. Just one last push now and you will make history with a 4th title on the run that will never be repeated.

No team plays brilliantly every game so the Arsenal result is an isolated one. To not score at home for the first time in 2.5 years is a fantastic record.

It'd be absolutely brilliant if City were to send out a message with a thumping 6 or 7 nil tonight. I fancy Luton to get a draw and Sheff Utd will be scrapping for a point tomorrow. Its not over yet. Up the blues...keep the faith.
