Completely forgot about him and didn’t realise he played for this lot! Looked like he had bags of potential at one point but never really got going for us.

His dad is their manager

Surprised if Eddie doesn't start - no real need for rest.
I'd be tempted to play Rico and push Phil higher up if we're not going with the Viking
Other than that looks decent enough to get the win.

Need to play best team we need to get 3 points on board to get top 8 can’t be dealing with play offs and more games

 

[Gray]

Must win game for me, relieve pressure after the opening draw.

Is there that much pressure? I think you can draw or lose quite a few games and still go through - unless I’m misunderstanding it

 

[Haaland94]

They lost 5-1 to Celtic. I am not saying we should be disrespectful and play the EDS lads, but surely the likes of Stones, McAtee, and Nunes should be playing? These are top players who deserve more minutes than what they are currently getting.

Another fucking international break on the horizon, play our strongest team.

I would save that for Fulham. Surely, we need to make sure these guys get some minutes? Stonesy will play for England, but Nunes and McAtee won't be playing during the international break, so this is the perfect opportunity for them, IMO.

Need about 17 points to finish top 8 and avoid extra play off games.

 

[bernard o'silver]

Celtic beat this lot 5-1 , might as well be Celtic .

 

[Pelegrinni]

Nunes and Mcatee hopefully starting

Maybe if we’re five nil up.

 

[chaddblue]

They must be really really shit if Celtic put 5 past them

 

[Stelea]

Needs to be playing a serious line up here for some continuity before Fulham
Ederson
Lewis
Gvardiol
Dias
Akanji
Kovacic
Bernie
Foden
Savinho
Haaland
Grealish

 

[BringBackSwales]

Is anyone else not recieved tickets yet ?

Yeah me. Mind you I’m not going

 

[Rdtattooist]

Kick off time 20:00 (BST). Live on TNT Sport for those in the UK.

Now is probably the time to experiment on a midfield without Rodri and De Bruyne. I expect Foden and Stones to come into the team. Probably bring Doku and Savinho in as they didn't start against Newcastle.

Get it won and then quite a few days rest before Fulham (H).

I wish the team only a big win with 5-6 to 0 or 1 max

Btw, we have still some spots left in our studio if u visiting Bratislava and want to get a spontaneous tattoo or a piercing. Check out our instagram for more details - @Rdtattooist.

See you soon

I doubt City want to be having to play strongest teams in last 3 games or so to qualify high up so must be a priority to win the next 4 which on paper look winnable

McAtee will be playing for England U21s tbf, and they’ve got a pretty big game against Ukraine. He still should be starting tomorrow though.

 

[Kaydee]

Is it inevitable that Vladimir Weiss will score against his old club?

I'm still surprised he didn't do better with us, after a stunning performance v Barca in the Joan Gamper Trophy game at the Nou Camp.

Seems to have had an eventful career since leaving. From Wikipedia, he's got in a brawl in fast food restaurant, wrecked a hotel, driven under the influence, and generally disrupted the national team.
