As he will miss the Madrid game, I would start Jesus and bring on Raheem when legs start to tire.

As predicted by yours truly, this will be a dull 0-0 but City will prevail in Madrid.

Listening to BBC Radio Manchester is nice and balanced. Please City, try and score the first goal or else the evening may become dire.

A suitably rested Foden & Grealish will definitely be needed against Liverpool.

Not one person has said so but I personally think that Fernandinho would dominate a game like this.

Motivate which players? I thought the thread was about the Madrid bus greeting.

Nothing like being the ever optimist. For me it will be ddDW

Mahrez is definitely not our best player this season. He only plays well for 20 minutes each game he starts. Mind you, it's no good telling that to OccupiedPalestineBlues, the name says it all.

Mahrez has to start instead of Grealish. I agree that Foden needs a rest before the big weekend game. Not sure we need three central defenders against a defensively minded outfit. Zinchenko will be fine.

No it was definitely Rodri in the first half. Probably would have been a red card if Rodders had not rolled over seven times, refs don't seem to like that sort of thing.

It will be a sterile and frustrating 0-0 on Tuesday but City will prevail 0-2 over in Madrid.

Well I was pleasantly surprised at how easy that was. Would have liked to see Rodri replaced by Fernandinho after 65 mins to give him a rest after a busy international break. Still, beggars can't be choosers.

Sorry if already posted but this analysis makes an interesting read... https://www.theguardian.com/football/blog/2022/apr/02/pep-guardiola-manchester-city-atletico-madrid-diego-simeone-champions-league

Has Phil Foden touched the ball more than thrice? Maybe he needs resting and let Jesus have a go.

So listen to BBC Radio Mancs commentary instead.

After the Liverpool game we will most likely be 4 points adrift of the league leaders Alternatively, we could be effectively out of all three trophy competitions this month. Buying Luis Diaz while we failed to replace Ferran Torres may hand Liverpool the title.

April Fool presumably as no pubs are allowed to show 3pm games.

Are you serious?

Why does the fixture calendar still say 5.30pm for the FA Cup semi final? Wasn't it changed to 15.30 or was that a misprint?

Lengthy article in today's MEN on the subject which ends with the suggestion that the tie should be rescheduled to Old Trafford. In view of our recent history there, I am inclined to agree. Petition anyone?
