Would love to see Rodri start, not sure he will though. As others have mentioned his game time needs to be managed carefully until he is fully fit.

He`d be better starting than coming on though? He`s been training full tilt for weeks now as well.

I have a question, not sure what to do about it but ask, I recently bought a Napoli shirt with de bruyne on the back for the respect for king Kev but would I be able to wear it to the city game against spurs? I am quite new to the forum so if this is the wrong place to ask, I’m sorry!

I know what you mean, perhaps Pep will start him and give him 60 mins and then sub him.

Edersons mind is elsewhere. Won’t be on his best game with everything happening off the pitch. I’d rather a keeper that wants to be here start in Trafford.

3-1 City.

Cherki masterclass

I shouldn't think you'll have any problem at all wearing that ....

 

[daveyboybluemoon]

So with Savinho, Bettinelli, Gvardial & Kovacic out and you imagine Ortega dropping out for Ederson in the squad, you still have to leave 2 players out the matchday squad tomorrow. Last week was Foden & Rodri but you imagine they are on the bench. Akanji & Gundogan seem like the obvious ones but tomorrow will be very interesting when the team is announced for a few players futures

You'll be sound pal

 

[Gaz76]

Ederson
Akanji, khusanov, stones, ait nouri
Foden, Bernardo, gundo doku
Haland marmoush

Pep with one of his fuck everyone's predictions I knows best line ups

 

[mexico1970]

Looking forward to this, I have confidence we will be at it Tomorrow and smash the spuds convincingly.

 

[Gumzy97]

Our record against the traditional big 5 is appalling since the treble. I heard on a City channel we’ve played 20 and only won 6.

Against the traditional big 5, that needs to change. Need to send a message bring that fear factor back. Need to put a statement win out against Tottenham.

I hope Pep doesn't feel obliged to play Bernardo because he made him captain. If his form drops he needs to be benched like everyone else.

We have a very strong squad with plenty of competition for starting places. No player should start unless they deserve it, even Pep's favourites, and Bernardo is.

We will need to create and finish well against this Thomas Frank team. Sadly Bernardo does not offer too much these days but Cherki certainly does...he must start.

Its just what i think Pep will do mate?

Not sure he will until Pep starts to trust him. Most probably go with Bernardo because of experience and him being captain. I agree either you though.

 

[The Lightbowne Cowboy]

The fuck is that

I don't know, but I had nightmares last night.

 

[johnny crossan]

For tomorrow Id go with - Peps team will be nothing like this.
Trafford
Lewis Dias Stones Ait-Nouri
Gonzalez Reijnders
Cherki Foden Marmoush
Haaland
4-2-3-1 Rodri, Bernardo, Doku, Bobb all primed on the bench and ready when called upon.

I think it might be pretty close actually ;-)

Was thinking of buying one myself. There was a guy at the Wolves game wearing one - you can see him on TV after Haaland's second goal (I think) or Cherki's goal. You'll be fine.

If it’s a toss up between that and a McTominay Napoli shirt I would go for the De Bruyne option.
