Wouldn't be at all surprised if we cancelled each other out in this game and it finished a boring 0-0

 

[birchwoodgingerste]

No sign of Rodri training for tomorrow then?

I reckon he might start .

 

[Bluemart]

I think Haaland, Foden & Doku will wipe.the floor with Livarpool tomorrow....roared on by a capacity home crowd who will give City a fantastic send off for the international break..and give Pep some brilliant memories for his holiday.

I hope so

 

[SCEtoAUX]

Just don't lose. They may have lost four on the bounce before beating Villa, but they absolutely always turn up against us. Foden brace in a 2-0 win.

 

[kingn6]

Bernardo to start, Reindeer to replace
Savinho to start, Cherki to replace
Dias and Stones, Gvardiol at LB

Nico plays end of. He is more irreplaceable thant the other 3.

If we sit back then Sav plays otherwise Beef Cherki.

bernie has to play he bringsmthe fire. Nobody hates redmscouse more than him.

Nah it’s the weekend ;)

 

[Marvin.]

I reckon he might start .

I don't think Rodri will start based on the 2nd part of Pep's press conference https://www.mancity.com/news/mens/m...ep-guardiola-written-embargo-section-63898119

Never.
I’ll be on it very soon :)

 

[Pepmanc]

3-1 no problem

 

[Marvin.]

The selection question for me is whether to start Cherki. I would.

 

[citytill1die84]

I reckon he might start .

Absolutely no chance unfortunately

our worst game in the last 6-8 weeks has come with gvardiol at lb the way nico is playing you can't drop him

Which is strange really because when O’Reilly plays left back, his average position is in the opposition half and Gvardiol plays left back.

Yes you’d never normally see Doku so central and close to Haaland, was a very specific plan for Bournemouth, be interesting if Pep looks to make the pitch as wide as possible again today. Obviously left plenty of room for Nico to run into down the left. We certainly need to get Haaland in those situations again today where he can expose Liverpool’s shaky back line.

About time we give these dips a good old bitch slap back to Merseyside!

That's partly due to the fact that we dominate possession. In possession, both Gvardiol and Dias move to the FB positions. But when we defend, especially with many players behind the ball, both are positioned centrally.

 

[Blue Hefner]

They looked solid V Real Madrid so it will be tough. 3-1 us or a score draw
