I think foden should feel hard done by. I know it was port vale but he was the best player on the pitch by miles. Would have been nice to see one local in our side as well

 

[prestonibbo_mcfc]

It's a fucking shite team,pep is being clever again,no striker to keep them busy,no legs in midfield and bravo

We'll see.

Or arrange our side to stop the supply.

yes, we need to press and we do look to have the players for that.

Hmmmmm, we know United are fast up top. Lets play our slowest defender...

On a positive note they killed us in the first 25 minutes at home as there were wide open spaces for their front three to run into, i suspect we will be playing deeper today and have bodies packing the midfield, Im not sure about playing with no Jesus or Aguero but in Pep we trust.

 

[Georgian Maestro]

Too cautious. Giving them too much respect particularly with their injuries.
That defeat has effected peps decision here

 

[BM96]

Was hoping no bravo, but thought it was gonna happen. I was hoping his extended run would mean he was happy to play ederson in the cup. Obviously not!

No natural striker is a strange one, sterling has a poor record vs the rags.. lets hope he puts that right tonight.

I reckon it'll be a back three again:

Bravo

Rodri
Otamendi
Fernandinho

Walker
Gundogan
De Bruyne
Mendy

Mahrez
Bernardo

Sterling

Swap Bernie and Kevin imo.

 

[Stevieatlasblue]

Confident for tonight. Daniel James for me is their dangerman with his pace. Come on blue boys and best manager ever. Get a good result at their place.

 

[Cityfan]

And of course De Gea plays

Is that to our advantage or to their's?

Last time Sterling played up front against these we had a chance to win the league at our place and he missed a hatful of chances. Can't afford to do the same tonight.
