Yea you are probably right. So Grealish and kova to start then.

Id have them both as certs. Bernardo too

I think a lot depends on how the match is refereed, and we don't know that until the game starts. In midweek we were refereed "fairly" and Lewis thrived. If it's more aggressive he may struggle. We don't want to be losing the ball in midfield to this lot.

I agree but part of me thinks fuck it and stick Rico in with Bernie and Jack for control. Don’t wait until we are behind and go after them. Alvarez for his work rate alone. Which leaves phil! Goal threat and normally a good solid 7/10. Few tough chooses for the boss.

I know we’ve played a fair few games without him (and in previous seasons) but KDB is the big miss for me, just look what he produced in this fixture last season, real moments of genius. But we’ve won plenty of big matches without him, Rodri too (remember the derby) it’s gonna mean big performances from Kovacic & Bernardo, and be defensively sound for the 102 minutes

As I posted yesterday, Rico definitely starts.

So I am walking past the Twelve Pins teaming with gooner fans. They see the city shirt and a bunch start booing. I stick a fist in the air and screamed “treble!!!”. Stunned silence. I was surprised at how effective it was. Guess last season really killed them

Deserves to start after his MOTM against Leipzig
