Daughters sofa - sadly not as comfy as mine. Enjoy the game

 

[MCFC1993]

Doku in the squad is good news.

 

[Dr Jacoby]

Phillips misses out.

 

[Stoned Rose]

Simple as this - no fucking about and get the 3 points.

 

[.db.]

Very tough game. Funny how Forest downed tools against Everton and got beat. They were flying against us

Teams always have to get more up for it against top sides and almost treat those games like their Cup final, or they’ll get hammered.

 

[MCFC1993]

Savinho for Reijnders, Ake for Gvardiol.

 

[mccity]

 

[Ric]

Pretty attacking line-up that.

 

[cleavers]

Savinho for Reijnders, Ake for Gvardiol.

Didn't Gvardiol start the last game ?

 

[dromoreblue]

Savinho for Reijnders, Ake for Gvardiol.

And Ake

 

[pudge]

Savinho, oh joy

 

[M Gaudino]

whats wrong with gvardiol?

 

[flook]

Savinho for Reijnders, Ake for Gvardiol.

happy enough with that, lets see how Sav performs against an organised defence aft er his last couple of confidence boosting games

 

[MCFC1993]

Didn't Gvardiol start the last game ?

And Ake

Too fast for my edit! Yeah missed that, wasn't expecting defensive changes.

 

[OntarioBlue]

No Reindeer in the starting eleven. He must be shagged out after dragging that sleigh all over the place the other day. Need Savinho to step up tonight.

 

[balotelli's back pocket]

Gvardiol rested I assume, Sav definitely deserves a chance to start after his performances off the bench.

 

[city warrior]

Bernardo again...I cannot wait for Rodri to be back so that our midfield can be dangerous and progressive again.

 

[pee dubya]

whats wrong with gvardiol?

On the bench so assume is either a rest, or maybe sickness or a slight niggle.

Even if he makes the odd booboo, we'll miss his passing.

 

[Barcon]

Looks like Nico O to slide into midfield when needed
