relevant to league position yes....The result is relevant
I just want points over the next few games. Don't really care how we do it.of course the result matters overall but Im more interested in the performance of the players to see where this squad is really going.
Silva doesn't deserve to play? Pmsl.Marmoush Semenyo
OR Cherki
Nico G Rodri
Ait Nouri Guehi Khusonov Nunes
Donnarumma
Haaland, Foden and Bernardo don’t deserve to play.
I’d choose OR over Reinjders because he’s a better duel winner and will overlap Marmoush anyway, he can come in with Foden to get a goal.
It would be a while before a CL spot is secured and players playing well will decide that. Performances are vital.I just want points over the next few games. Don't really care how we do it.
I'm obviously interested in players performances but it's down in my priority until we have a CL position secured and/or closed the gap to arsenal.
You need both.It would be a while before a CL spot is secured and players playing well will decide that. Performances are vital.

If you have good performances over a period of time you get points, i'm not interested in anymore pedantry thank you very much :-)You need both.
No good having a good performances and not gaining any points.
Its mental how some of our supporters don't see the importance of the guy, baffling. Its usually those obsessed with goals or assist stats.Bernardo is precisely the player we need tomorrow, he can't stand them.
securing at CL position is about the quality of the players we have (as well as ones we can buy in the future)...we will get points if the players are good enoughI just want points over the next few games. Don't really care how we do it.

Forget about the title, but we need the points for top 4, it’s getting too close for comfort!We’re not coming back from 9 points down without an absolute miracle so win or bust tomorrow, the players must know it.
Agreed. Tomorrow feels more like a cup final. 6 points and we’re still in the hunt with two nightmare fixtures (historically) out the way and some winnable games coming up. If it’s 8-9 points we’ll have an absolute mountain to climb, and I’m not sure we’d have it in us.We’re not coming back from 9 points down without an absolute miracle so win or bust tomorrow, the players must know it.
If Dias had been fit would have been a difficult choice.Who partners Guehi will be a tough decision for Pep tomorrow.
We miss Ruben’s leadership but Khusanov’s recovery pace is insane and he’d no doubt help to quell any potential counter-attacks from Liverpool.
If it makes you feel better, I voted for a defeat to even it out : )Tried hard to vote for a City defeat here. No matter how hard I tried I just couldn’t do it. It’s not in my nature. So selected the easy option, a City win. Instantly felt better. Come on City!
Precisely - lose tomorrow and we're starting to look behind rather than in front of us.Forget about the title, but we need the points for top 4, it’s getting too close for comfort!
