[Lost in space]

COME ON CITY, LETS SMASH THESE VILE VERMIN TAX DODGING CNUTS!!

 

[Father Paul]

We all know they'll turn into prime Barca for their Cup Final today sadly

They didn't have to last December nor highly unlikely to do so today. However, we all know that we turned into prime 1990's City last day and that is my main concern again.

 

[Heath Park]

4-1 City
Come on lads!
CTID

 

[Penworthamblue]

Cracked a beer open to settle the nerves then 13.12 train to Piccadilly from Preston, come on city let's give it the fuckers

 

[standupifyouhatemanu]

Win today and it’s 5 more needed for St Beneathus Day for the 12th year running. Let’s get it done.

 

[Bellamy's Caddy]

We should never have lost the home derby in a million years. Individual errors and a collective head wobble cost us.

Today we need calmness, and to play our own game. We aren't at are best, the reasons are well documented. They are where they are on merit, so let's make our superiority show.

Ederson

Nunes
Dias
Gvardiol
O'Reilly

Nico
Kovacic
KDB

Savinho
Grealish
Marmoush

Foden, Doku, Bobb, Gundogan all capable of making a difference from the bench.

 

[red 2 hats]

Cmon City, gotta smash those fucking reptiles today, need a push to get top 5.

 

[Newman Noggs]

Whilst we always hope for the best, it's hard to see where a win is coming from today. They play on the counter and, if nothing else, are quick. We, by contrast, are pedestrian and extremely vulnerable on the counter. And having watched them pump high ball after highball into Maguire at the end of the Forest game, I'm not convinced we have the aerial strength to withhold a late onslaught or deal with the constant stream of free kicks (and penalties) they are inevitably awarded.

 

[GaudinoMotors]

0 - 1 up at half time and we'll lose.
1 - 0 down an we'll win. Such is this current City.

So weird that there is NO media hype no this. Even now in the bbc you can’t find anything about it

Very true was thinking the same myself. The hype is usually in overdrive all week building up to a derby.

Apart from the obligatory article on what’s wrong with gaspacho, always something to keep the 653m happy.

Alejandro Garnacho: Should Man Utd sell or stick with frustrated forward?

Amorim is backing misfiring winger Alejandro Garnacho going into Man Utd v Man City derby... but for how long?

1 - 0 down an we'll win. Such is this current City.

One thing is for sure:
If we're 1-0 up then Manchester United will be the happier of the two teams and are right there.
If we're 1-0 down then Manchester United will be the happier of the two teams and are right there.

Start Phil…….

 

[Rodri’s ACL]

Hopefully we can make these rags whip out the Norwich scarves today

 

[Blu1]

Win midfield we win this game. I don’t want to see only 1 player holding midfield & im sorry but I don’t want to see Gundy or Kev start this game.

Would love to see Jack, Kova & nico sit deep & let mahmoosh doku & savi run riot in front of them

 

[flook]

Nunes is the interesting one for me, going forward he's improved a lot over the last few games, defensively at full back he's a problem. So I guess it depends how Pep plays this, for solidity and control its Khush at RB, for an extra man going forward its Nunes. Gundog has been better in recent games and Scum midifeld isn't exactly bursting with pace so I think we'll start as:

Ederson

Nunes/Khush
Dias
Gvardiol
O'Reilly

Nico
Gundog
KDB

Savinho
Grealish
Marmoush

Not sure if this has been answered, who takes our pens with Haaland out?
