Arsenal (N) - Sun 22nd March, 16:30 | League Cup Final | Pre-Match Thread

[Centurions]

Peps the charity that just keeps giving. Semenyo is bang average and how Bernie starts after his fuck up the other night is beyond. Oh well one rule for one eh Pep!

Another **** on ignore.

That MF gives me a bad, bad feeling.

But it is utterly unsurprising

Stones is probably our best defender aerially.. To leave him on the bench against Arsenal is an interesting approach.. might have made sense if it we had Nico G instead of Bernie but here we are.

Let's hope Haaland has another superb defensive display, we're gonna need it

Very strange decision, but let’s be honest nothing is surprising these days!

Maybe just me but I don’t mind that line up.

Also plenty of times where we’ve all liked a line up and it’s gone tits up.

It’ll be what it’ll be.

Me too, can't really see anyone on the bench you would start instead of the 11 today, Ait Nouri maybe but we need Nico's height

 

[colorado blue]

Win this and we will go on to win the league as well

This does seem like one of those pivotal moments. Win and I could see use winningFA Cup and possibly league. Lose and th opposite.

 

[Stoned Rose]

These line ups / formations mean fuck all, blues.

It’ll come down to us dealing with their corners. Do that, we’ll slap them.

 

[Gray]

Anderson price just gone up

It was MG-W who scored.

 

[dctid]

Can’t see much to be positive about to be honest, the only upside I see us Diaz out so that is at least 50 pointless 5 yard passes we won’t be making today

 

[come-on-barney]

Atmosphere took a tumble with that lineup.

 

[robbieh]

Compared to the Madrid game we've got Cherki rather than Savinho which is a huge upgrade. And at the back Guehi who played poorly is replaced by Ake. Nunes who probably should have played in Madrid comes in and so our super Uzbek moved inside.

Trafford replaces Donarumma. Overall a slightly better line up although like many I'd prefer Nico G in midfield.

 

[Ajm1985]

Spuds 2 down :)

That dilemma of wanting Spurs to be closer to being relegated and wanting Forest to be relegated to get Anderson cheaper

 

[M Gaudino]

Ake in no Stones no height

Ake is the best in the air

Interesting in that he's hardly kicked a ball and doesn't have 90 minutes in him. Be mad to start him as that is one of your subs assigned!

 

[come-on-barney]

It was MG-W who scored.

Didn’t he play?

Too many knicker wetterse

Which block you in ?

Problem is Hammers 2 down also

 

[Eccles Blue]

The Boys in Blue never give in. They fight to the end. Come on City. Come on City. Show ‘em lads. Show ‘em all. Especially those gunners who think they found the target but oh no, they haven’t. City will show them.

Especially the so-called media who wouldn’t know the difference between a button and a football. They are so thick and stupid that they think we play with an oval ball. Fools, they are nothing but addlepated, gongoozled, cabbage heads. Poor things.

Especially the Specsavers needing illiterate people who call themselves officials. Yes official jobberknoll, cumberworlds who have no idea who we are.
WE ARE MANCHESTER CITY THE BEST TEAM IN THE LAND AND ALL THE WORLD.

Get John Stones on that pitch Pep!!!

Ah. Your post was alluding to the fans there not bluemoon. My bad

 

[coolcity]

This is why finals are special. Somebody from the City line-up that people think WHY the fuck is he playing could be the match-winner.

Exactly this. We have no idea how they are going to play, how the game will go and so on. There are no right or wrong choices until the final result. Then we're all experts.
