Silva should be saved for the biggest games rather than being exhausted vs the likes of Burnley. Other than that good team

Steady on mate, they've only just wrapped their heads around fire and ethnic minorities.

Still have that Sister banging thing going on as well.

Team ?

Ederson, Walker, Otamendi, Fernandinho, Angelino, Rodrigo, Silva (C), De Bruyne, Bernardo, Sterling, Jesus Subs | Bravo, Stones, Mendy, Mahrez, Cancelo, Foden, E Garcia

Thats pretty much the team we have at the moment, so ok. Never thought Foden would start here. But surprised Cancelo isn't though.

 

[Exeter Blue I am here]

Well I'M happy with the team

Glad you are. The biggest up and under merchants in the league and we leave out Stones, our only aerially competent centre half, and pick Otamendi (5ft 11’) and Ferna (5ft 9’) instead. I hope to Christ we don’t concede any corners or free kicks. Madness

Danny drinkwater and Jeff hendrick. Surely they aren’t beating us....

 

[ninjamonkey]

Expect them to lump ball after ball from the left side to the back post where Angelino will be targeted. Formation and tactics appear to be the same as they have been for past few months therefore I’m not expecting 3 points from this.

Danny drinkwater and Jeff hendrick. Surely they aren’t beating us....

Drinkwaters first game in almost 2 years.

Anyone who was genuinely expecting anything other than that midfield was setting themselves up for disappointment

yep same old line up and rodri holding

city setup is ok and if we score first its pretty much set the tone for going forward and opens up, but if we go 1 down first its a problem to our front line because its 10 men behind the ball and its in 5 and 5 lines for the rest of the game
