Ederson
Akanji-Dias-Gvardiol
Stones-Rodri
Foden-De bruyne-Bernardo-Grealish
Haaland

 

[Jonas.shaffer]

No chance Bobb would start ahead of KDB

It would be Foden technically starting ahead of KDB with Bobb on the RW.

Nice of UEFA to agree to Real Madrid's request about the closing the roof. Have they let them pick the ref as well?

Why would they say no to their bosses?

It's a french crew, IIRC.

Thanks

Which one of Kev, Foden, Bernie, Grealish do you think misses out?

If I had to pick one I'd guess KDB, but feels criminal given his performance at the weekend and heroics last year away to Madrid.

Kev wont be left out , lol

Ederson
Akanji
Stones
Dias
Gvardiol
Rodri
Kovacic
Bernardo
Kdb
Foden
Haaland.

I cannot see how the lineup is anything but this unless there's injuries and ortega/lewis need to come in.

Would be suicidal of pep to not have somebody alongside Rodri in midfield, i think we get well beaten if he goes with that extra attacker and leaves us widr open in midfield, especially when thats their strength.

there's a chance that could be Bernardo, but I suspect he will want Bernardo on that wing to help shut down any supply to vinicius.

Anything not a defeat is a positive result, getting them to the etihad on even terms, you'd fancy us.

Good Luck City. Tough one this, but go give it some welly.

Dear Mr Southgate. Thankyou for trying to destroy my football teams season. You really have done a fantastic job. It's probably the only thing you’ve ever done with any conviction you useless fucking waistcoat wearing cuckold ****! I did say 'trying' though, because you're going to fail. We're MANCHESTER FUCKING CITY and we're made of proper stuff. Now fuck off to them Rag bastards, there's a good horse faced boy.

Post it on Twitter.

Fuck that’s funny

Are you on another wind up ?

 

[eversince 76]

all in white under the roof. That sounds scary. Not. Think we’ve had our fair share of atmosphere in away stadiums.

It’ll be tough. But I am positive about a good result for the return match. We are Manchester City FC.

I'd drop Haaland and play with a False 9 tonight.
Maximum control of possession and protect backline until the home leg. No need to go all guns blazing tonight

If Gvardiol is fit, I agree 1000%...if Eddy is not ready, I'm more than OK with Ortega...

 

[paulchapo]

I'm worried how many of our players that thug Rudiger is going to injure tonight.
