[TinFoilHat]

4-3
5-4
7-5
3-6
4-7

Can't see this being a boring nil nil looking at the teams.

 

[Eccles Blue]

The Boys in Blue never give in. They fight to the end. Come on City, Come on City. Show 'em lads, show 'em all.

Especially the little magpies who with their barcodes get lost in the checkouts!!

Especially the know nowt alleged media numpties who can't tell a football from a hockey puck. Foolish buffleheads that they are will still be searching for the ball at full time.

Especially the Specsavers needing, whistle blowing, gollumpus types who say they are officials but have probably not read the rule book since 1895. Do they still not know who we are? We are: MANCHESTER CITY, THE BEST TEAM IN THE LAND AND ALL THE WORLD. Will you please get that through your thick skulls you fools.

Come on John Boy, let's hope you are playing. :-)

On the plus side : Foden, Savinho, Marmoush and Haaland in attack is exciting

It could be exciting.

 

[Eric Hitchmough]

Hopefully you and

Back?

Nico González, yeah. He’s back. Missed the last game.

 

[kupest]

I am guessing Dias/Ake aren't injured and just rested/not risked for Madrid and Pool

 

[Lemon7277]

Can only presume and hopefully is the case that Diaz is being saved for Madrid

 

[malkie]

Surprised Lewis is playing ahead of Moonchester
Whatever, but to have no senior fullback in the squad is a joke!

Fixed it for you.

 

[Brewster's millions]

If you take Haaland and Gvardiol out of that lineup, it’s proper mid table stuff.

 

[pee dubya]

Big performance needed from Gundogan.

He has some legs around him at least.

Frankly I'd take a draw right now.

 

[noseve]

After seeing the side I am less than confident, anyway come on you Dolly Blues.

Sounds ominous - where do you see the lineups posted this early?

 

[TheThirdDeano]

I could swear I read that ake was injured for the rest season… so why are people surprised, was that just a hoax or am I getting my players mixed up?

Edit: mixed up with akanji.
Fuck me another defender down, what si going on?

 

[Ken92]

Rico starting is accident waiting to happen again. Let´s see ,what Khusanov and Nico can offer to the team today. Can´t afford to loose this one.

 

[balotelli's back pocket]

I am guessing Dias/Ake aren't injured and just rested/not risked for Madrid and Pool

This is a more important game than either of those, let's be honest.

 

[hertsblue]

Not expecting much from that line up, think their midfield and attack will rip us apart. Hopefully we can take any chances when they come and outscore them

 

[ninjamonkey]

Which midfield 3?

Tonali, Bruno, joelinton. I now realise willock is playing instead of joelinton but that guy runs just as much and that's all that's required half the time against us.

 

[sir baconface]

Not liking Pep's defeatist attitude, it's like every team we play at the minute is stronger and more physical than City, in Pep's eyes anyway

Ah yes but we have the perfect foils in Lewis, Kova, Gundo and KdB.

Muscle, sinews and speed…unfortunately not all in the right places.

 

[Lost in space]

This is gonna be a seven goal game, just hope we don't collapse in the last 20 minutes.

 

[Revolver]

You don’t win a lot of games if you don’t have your best players available for them, especially your centre halfs.

Would take a draw.

Sorry - reading latest posts backwards

Think it’s Akanji
