Marmoush shouldn't be dropped for Foden, Cherki and Reijnders deserve to start ahead of Phil, now that I've said let's hope Phil shuts me up.

He has to use the squad

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

As long as we close down shots on the edge of our area, we’ll be fine.

 

[Brightwell Bros.]

Bizarrely his move to his preferred position and form at cm might cost him his England place. Hope he gets enough games at LB in the run in to make the squad. I’m sure Ait-N won’t play every week so should be ok

Hadn't thought of that! Funny game sometimes!

 

[Xhavenjoe]

Ake injured?

Could well be. I didn't hear Pep mentioning that

 

[MCFC1993]

Created the thread and the kick off time still nearly caught me out. Just about get to the ground on time.

 

[burning blue soul]

Not sure what Cherki has done wrong not to start.
I know Phil needs the boost, but right now we need the inform players playing.

 

[Keepingthefaithsince1976]

3 points from 1st place please.

Probably done nothing wrong

Foden inclusion is a surprise , you do not become a bad player overnight but he has zero confidence at the moment and there are at least three players on the bench who should be in the side before him , lets hope this will invigorate him and we see a performance that will make a differenc etonight
We need to go for their throats ,straight from the off , high tempo , none of this passing from side to side bollocks , run at them take risks play exciting football , players like Foden have the ability to ghost past players and cause problems , please let see some of that tonight ,

Traffic fucking awful tonight....2 hours from Fleetwood, near enough gridlocked around Manchester.

 

[Ajm1985]

Hopefully the start of Phil finding form - lots of opportunity to find pockets in this formation

 

[Blue Til Death]

A solid 90 mins wood be nice, fed up with the second half capitulations (dippers result aside)
Not good for my BP or mental health ..
Another 5-4 would probably end me…

 

[the blue panther]

Not sure what Marmoush or Cherki have done wrong

Marmoush has been OK, nothing more imho, and he bottled out of that challenge by Alisson in the 2nd half at Anfield.

Cherki is great coming on as a 'change' player.

Foden needs a game so hopefully he can get some confidence back.

Nothing

The Boys in Blue never give in. They fight to the end. Come on City, come on City. Show ‘em lads. Show ‘em all. Tear them Cockneys apart again! ;-)

Especially the so called media crowd who wouldn’t know a football from a satsuma!! The foolish noncompoops that they are.

Especially the Specsavers needing, illiterate wallies who call themselves officials. Yes official craptacular dunderheads. They they still don’t know who we are. We are. MANCHESTER CITY THE BEST TEAM IN THE LAND AND ALL THE WORLD.
So put that in your stupid pipes and combust. :-)

Yeah it's quiet....very quiet, big blocks of seats sparsely populated and I can see half a dozen 'school groups' in clusters.
