I may be in the minority but id have zinchenko playing over any other lb we have. Cancelo maybe not. Hes much better on the ball and feeds his winger and inside midfielders so much better than mendy.

Zinchenko is poor,both positionally and in his passing ability,he lacks pace and awareness too.

He isnt very good at left back.

Can't believe it was this year, yes THIS YEAR, I was in London for the final. Hundreds packed into a big room in the back of what was (I think) an Indian restaurant. Unthinkable!

no big shocks in the line up tonight even KDB not playing at all is not a shock for me ? looks solid at the back and in midfield so maybe another tight game we control. this is the new city for me its all about control
pep defo has change it up to stop that open spaces we leave behind with the wing back system

What's a brothel?

Whats a couple of grand?

With a bench like that we need to have some substitutions before the traditional 70mins! Unless of course we are leading 5-0!! :-)

Brentford winning in the other QF ... extra time now ... Newcastle look shattered and bereft of ideas (good for us as they play us next).

Please please please the draw gods have been so kind to us, give us this one for Semi as well and let Jose take on United or Everton in the other one ... will be one hell of a final though, Pep v Jose or City v United ...

The Rags will get a Brentford SF ?

Pep is clearly worried about either the defence of the midfielders ability to defend this season....constantly starting two defensive/less creative midfielders every game.

Is it my imagination or is Dias being required to play just about every single game at present?

You're probably right but I don't think we have anyone that is very good at left back

No complaints on here about 2 DMs for once which is nice to see.
