It's very small of me perhaps, but I'd really love to win this cup, this year, as we would surpass Un!ted's number of cup wins in this competition.

Just another marker on the long journey ahead, you know?

 

[mancity dan]

So we have a stand off,i can't see him or his agent backing down,hopefully yaya will go in january
Love pep even more

That is all I can see from here on in.

ACON is in January, just means he will be sorting out his move then (poss. China?)

 

[kaz7]

Brahim Diaz, Tosin Adarabioyo, Pablo Maffeo, Aleix García and Angeliño are all travelling with the City squad for tomorrow's game.

Excellent news.

 

[cibaman]

Saw a tweet by the MEN that Brahim was in the squad for tonight.

According to MEN it was announced by his (and Maffeo's) representatives. Is that something that Pep might not like?

 

[Neville Kneville]

Pep says it was difficult to leave Yaya out of the Champions League squad, but did after his agent spoke out. Wants an apology to the club.
Pep made it clear - Yaya Touré will not play again for City until the club receives an apology. [@StuBrennanMEN]

Wow, that's fucking fantastic.
On Sky now.

 

[kaz7]

Pep also confirmed that Fernando + Delph 'have a chance' of playing vs. Swansea. Silva is also 'almost ready', but is unlikely to be risked.

 

[Otamendi's Beard]

Would love to see Garcia start and Brahim to get a run out.

Shit the dog! Looking likely that we'll feature Garcia and Brahim in midfield if Delph, Ferando and Yaya out or at doubt..

 

[mancity1]

What a nob......I'm on my jollies and completely lost track......Yep,i deserve that:-)

Likely to miss our game so its not so nobbish.

PEP: We are going to try and win the @EFLCup – we will play some players who don’t have the opportunity to play that often. #mcfc
I’m happy people are saying positive things about my team but that’s not happening because of me it is what my players are doing.
PEP: We have many great young players here at Manchester City. @Brahim is coming tomorrow with us. #mcfc
We will finish late Wednesday so I prefer to stay in Wales and prepare for the game on Saturday there. #mcfc

Make sense. Although I'm always wondering what is the main transport for teams in England: bus? Or plane?

 

[Carlos- the- jackal]

Caballero
Zab. Tosin. Vinny. Angelino

Delph

Garcia. Diaz

Navas. Nacho. Sane

Train usually or sometimes a plane

 

[Odvan]

Train usually or sometimes a plane

Thanks.
Considering traffic and short distances train must be a safer bet.

 

[BLUEMATT23]

Understand the need for rotation and Swansea not playing well, just hope he doesn't go to light and we ended up losing.Would be nice to do will in all cups again.
