Come on Mahrez, please please build on the Everton game. Great to see Gundo and Kev start. Early goal and we could hammer these.

As the main instigators of the Hateful Nine we need to fucking hammer the c****

These are the enemy alongside United and Liverpool. We may forget it sometimes, as they are so laughably wank, however their tapping up of Arteta shows that their hatred of us still runs deep. Kill these bastards City.

Surprised both Cancelo and zin is in will be interesting to see how we set up.

With Cancelo a free spirit of late I predict a
3-1-2-1-2-1 !

Is that 20 all of our main squad players apart from Ake and youth players? If god is indeed a City he has finally got his act together in this regard, well done

Snide bastards these get them beaten. Come on you Dolly Blues as my old dad used to say.

Foden over Mahrez otherwise since the Dinho news that's what I expected

thought exactly the same....

 

[hilts]

I think I’m missing something. Why is that surprising? It’s pretty much how we always set up. Zinchenko left of a back 3 in possession. Cancelo moving into midfield with Dinho. KDB false 9.

You must have missed all the games they didn’t start in then, there have been many:-)

Nope. He'll be shit. However, I'm sure everyone on the Matchday Thread will cut him a bit of slack given his great showing at Everton. If nothing else, the Matchday Thread is populated by knowledgeable Blues who don't fly off the handle if any player is just below par.......

Yes. The matchday thread is ever the beacon of patience and understanding. I look forward to more of the same today.

Yup.

 

[BringBackSwales]

The one thing I can guarantee today is that the matchday thread will be full of inbred cunts typing FFS and thinking it’s funny

I think this will be a tough test all the same. We may have a few with eyes on Borussia. Very strong team all the same.

For Arsenal, Aubamayeng did very well at Wembley but can be very inconsistent. Saka is playing well and Tierney has played very well against us for both Celtic and Arsenal, Odegaard was excellent for Sociedad but yet to show for Arsenal. Arteta has rested a few so if the game is in the balance with 30 minutes to go he’ll go for it then. Important for us to kill it off early as possible.
