Paul Tierney may be stood down on Sunday as VAR if the alleged fuck up in the dipper derby (ie not recommending an on field review of Tarkowski's challenge on McCallister) is as bad as the media are making out. I haven’t seen it so can’t be certain but the media reports seem pretty damning.
 
It's not easy to call a Derby result.
But I am confident that there's more chance of our number nine scoring than theirs.
We seem to do better at the swamp so 2-1 CITY win. Keep the faith CTID
 
If Chelsea win tonight and Newcastle hypothetically win their game in hand against Palace we are in 6th before we even play at weekend.

Were we to lose and both Chelsea and Newcastle win at weekend we will be 4 points behind Chelsea and potentially 5 behind Newcastle.

It cannot be underrated just how big this game is for us. I don't care if we get every decision under the sun given to us, we have to do whatever it takes to win.
 
Their Apes will be out in force
Nick Nack paddy wacks.
Build a Bonfire .
They are the most revolting bunch Seriously you could ever meet
They belong in a zoo
3-1 City

I like this team but it's a bit narrow so i'd play Nunes at RB. He's doing alright and i think he gives us a better option down the right than Khus and with O'Reilly they'll be our primary width.
But we're playing a lot better, players are coming into form and we have a lot of options now, so it'll interesting to see who Pep picks.

Whoever he plays i think we'll win, well!

3-1 to us.

COME ON CITY!!!!

We all know what the rags will do, sit in and hit us on the break, which is why I think Khusanov's recovery pace will be crucial
Foden, KDB, Marmoush and Kovacic aren't afraid of taking a shot from 20 yards, which is the only way I see us scoring
 
Amorim is another parked bus merchant like ten Bob was difference is he is better with his image his talking in the media!

Be honest be tough game id settle for a draw personally because of there transition and the way any ball they get will be flipped over our back line down the wings with there runners! We probably have 65/70% possession!
 
Ederson
Khusanov, Dias, Guardiol, OReilly
Nico Bernardo
KDB Grealish Savinho
Marmoush

neither full back are ideal but its better than Nunes and Lewis

The trouble is 'waspish' ... with only eight league games left, and Newcastle, Villa and Chelsea not letting up, we need to start winning these games now, because draws may not be enough at this late stage of the season .... we can only look after ourselves of course, and affect our own results, but we need to start really imposing ourselves on our opponents now, and 'digging out' out winning results any way that we can, even if we aren't at our best ..... a lot of possession is only any good IF something good or positive comes from it!

That was a terrific result for Villa at Brighton last night, and the likelihood is that we are in a real battle for 4th or 5th place here .... we are definitely gonna have to 'scrap' for it, and show more desire and intent than the clubs immediately around us to get it!

I have seen nothing yet to think we are capable of finishing in the top five, that display last night just added to the feeling.

Our standards have dropped alarmingly this season, and injuries are partly to blame. But the drop off in form by Phil Foden has concerned me the most.

Yep I see only Chelsea as the weaker of us Newcastle and Villa when you fighting for those spots though usually it's not you have to win every game it's say 4/5 wins out of 8/9 games for those teams! Look at the stats on these teams is not win win win win it's win lose draw win win draw

Correct. Said all along we will end up 7th. Last night was terrible with the team still showing zero intent to move the ball quicker. Another game, another change of system this time with the wide men disappointing. Sunday will be another tactical change with KDB, Bernie and Foden returning.
Villa and Newcastle both play with a lot more freedom and attacking intent than us and have more reliable better options going forward.
 
My hope in this games come from them being shit but very shit at home. Whilst pressure is on us in terms of league position, there will be pressure on them as the home team and to try and steal a double over us during their worst ever season. They will cause us problems, I don't see it being straight forward as we don't look right at all. Fingers crossed we get the win and move on to the next. Rags
