In 10 away games in the league this season we’ve scored 15 goals. Really surprising. 3 of those at Newcastle and 3 at Leeds. So that’s 9 in the other 8 games.
 
doesnt that apply to most players. bernie has been terrible but given the chance to prove his form ect . its just a personal preference with fodens pace against zinny...... I dont mind starting just would like to see phil haaland grealish front line
football doesn’t really work like that.

I remember the same argument being said of Phil on Milner earlier this season using his pace etc & he got pocketed unfortunately.

I’d go with an inform Mahrez on Wednesday, his trickery will give zinny more than enough to worry about!

and i have no issues with that its just a personal preference of wanting to see the haaland foden and grealish front line. I think its our most dynamic front line. but i have no issues playing mahrez
 
Bookies have us as favourites to win the match. Thought arsenal would have been seeing as they are top of the league and at home.

yeah I’m excited to see that too I just think Phil needs bringing back game by game though. he looked ok yesterday when he came on but not great, think he’s still lacking confidence. would be a risk to throw him back into the starting 11 for this game imo
 
Really hope our experience will help us here. their players have not won anything mostly, also they have not been in a proper title race before.a really great run put them top of the league, but recent result hopefully mean smaller teams start to stand up to them rather than rolling over for them or underestimate them.

we need to be quick and aggressive from the start and no rubbish passes at the back, against Spurs two times and Villa last weekend we conceded 1 goal each game from giving away the ball in our half, two times just edge of our box actually. we are our biggest enemy with these sloppy passes...

if we win we put a lot of worry into Arteta and his team. exactly what we should at this stage of the league.

losing this is not an option at all.

draw will do it if its really tight.
Lot of truth in your first paragraph. Our experience is definately i our favour.
 
Why would you start Lewis over Walker. I thought Trossard got the better of him in the cup match. Walker must play and I thought overall he played very well yesterday.
Think I’ve explained pretty well while I’d prefer Lewis because Ake has to start. Agreed thought Walker was fairly solid defensively but his passing through the lines was poor at times. Pep will play one full back inverted and I think Rico suits that far more than Walker. Trossard hasn’t started since that cup game…

Yeah agreed, though tbh last time I looked all three outcomes weren’t that far apart. No one’s gonna be making a fortune off this one.

I agree he got the better of him and I’d go one step further and say he bullied him physically. Lewis is obvs a talented kid who has the brain to flourish when we’re dominating games but he’s not physically or mentally ready for a dogfight yet.

Walker must start. His loss of pace this season is quite startling but Pep will obvs be aware of that and will make the necessary tweaks to compensate. Walker’s a real leader with a big personality and we’ll need him on Wednesday
 
We've really got to put in a 90 minute performance here, 45 minutes won't be enough like we seem to be doing at present. Worried that they'll have too much energy for us on the night and we'll look fucked. But come on City, do us proud please
That's why Bernardo must play. Great discipline as well so that neither Var nor Officials have an excuse to punish. Biggest game so far this season 1st v 2nd.
 
I'd play Ortega in goal. I may be the only one but I have been impressed by his agility ,especially if they get a pen.
I was saying to my missus during the Villa game I never thought I consider benching Eddie but he's been off it this year. He looks checked out and lazy to me at times. He may be known for his touch, passing and ball control but his handling decisions and some of the goals he's let in this season and gaffes he's made are farcical. I hope he proves me wrong soon.

Fair comment, the goal villa scored I mean come on Eddy that was Hough End stuff

Gonna say it, I have not been impressed with Arse-anal since post world cup. We have sputtered a bit as well but I feel we are in the ascendency whilst they have hit a lull. I think we'll find ourselves this game and win by 2-3 goals.
