Oh give it a rest will you. He eats it after a match not every day FFS. So many fucking bores on here.

The ever under-appreciated Nathan Ake for me

Absolute unmitigated bollocks and you know it. But I don’t know why I bite as you and a few other of the usual suspects on here would quite happily see Grealish shipped off for good tomorrow. Making shit up to have a dig at a player in blue is the kind of low I expect on here.

Big Erl is BACK. He can shove that goal down the throats of the fuckwits on here who want to sell him.

Was one of the few players who actually kept the ball in the first half. Won us the corner for the first goal and got absolutely no protection from the ref again. Think the team’s overall performance would have been better had he seen more of the ball. As good as Gvardiol is, he needs to learn...

Radical I know but maybe for once they could BOTH play with Doku starting on the right. Worked against Villa well and fuck knows why Pep is so reluctant to do it, considering Doku is actually a winger who can play on the right and we don’t have many of those. Bernardo needs a rest. Jack is in...

Can’t believe the guy is being dug out for his performance on Saturday when he was literally retching his guts up on the pitch. Sublime player, just needs managing carefully with his fragility, but was clearly unwell on Saturday and so it can be chalked off. I’m impressed he could actually...

Have I stumbled on Rag Cafe? Why are people still talking about his effing price tag? How much did that Chelsea prick that studded his knee on Saturday cost? Because honestly I’ve never heard anyone talk about that. In the media or otherwise. And to those moaning about Grealish this season...

Sub Doku in on the right then at 70 mins? Jack has been playing excellently and he’s constantly having to make way for Doku when other players who aren’t firing as much are saying on the pitch. And there’s no way Grealish should be giving up his minutes or starting spot for Doku right now...

Easy, put Doku - the right winger - into the position he was bought for. On the right. Feeling sorry for Grealish in how he is still getting sacrificed to get Doku on the pitch when he’s in really good form, creating chances, drawing fouls and keeping the ball in possession.

Why should Jack work his arse off for 70 mins each time so Doku can come on against tired defenders? Why can’t Doku just play on the wing he was bought for when Mahrez left and Jack be allowed to shine? Subbing Jack off every time he’s actually playing well is not going to help with his being...

Tricky to predict - so many tired players but I think Pep will rotate as little as he can get away with. It’s still an FA Cup semi final at the end of the day. Ortega Lewis Stones Dias Ake (if he’s ready to start) Kovacic Rodri (not sure he will get a rest) Foden Grealish Doku Haaland...

Should have been played centrally a long, long time ago. Pep knows best on many things but I remain to be convinced he will ever know best when it comes to Grealish. He uses Jack as an effective cog to give space and chances to other players, but never allows him to shine himself. He’s...

Doku didn’t do anything different to Grealish to affect the game. The Kev goal was a deflection of a defender. If Pep wanted to play Doku he should have gone onto the right in place of Bernardo.

Jack was exceptional. Should never have come off. If Pep was keen to put Doku on he should have taken Bernardo off. I thought Pep had finished dicking around with Jack. I was wrong.

Should never have been taken off the pitch tonight.

Look at the same of the poster. He hates Grealish so much he has never ever listed him in his predicted starting XI. Of course Grealish starts on Weds.

I think we will see minimal rotation. If Rodri is going to be rested (and he really needs a break) then I don’t think the likes of Grealish will be rested, for example. Pep can’t start taking away 2-3 crucial cogs to the team at one time IMO. It might be Luton but it’s must-win if we’re to...

Another utterly brilliant goal. Workrate off the scale again. Really hope his dead leg isn’t serious and he’s right as rain for next week’s second leg at the Etihad. It was reassuring to hear from him directly after the match and Pep making relative light of his knock by saying he was annoyed to...

Jack for me. Was under-utilised on the left I thought, given the other flank was proving tricky. Absolutely excelled when he did get the ball, getting a Madrid player suspended in the first minute while setting up the Bernardo free kick, teeing up Gvardiol and protecting the ball while working a...
