If we match their energy we win, play the game in their half because we don't tend to defend well if we can't get out. I want us to slow the game down in the first 15 mins and then start to take control.

Hard to predict this one until I see the team news. My biggest worry is Ake coming back in and then our build up turns to shit again and Arsenal smother us. They will leave Ake free so the ball always goes to him, man to man on everyone else, then pressure him once the ball is going to him. We need to play Bernardo again if we want to escape their press. That in turn acts as defending, as we’re able to get up the pitch, making their attacks start from further away. It’s no different to playing Zinchenko there, and Arsenal aren’t going to hesitate in doing that. Pep needs to stay true to his identity and principles. Who is the bolder manager, Arteta or Pep? Come on Pep, show that it’s still you.

You mean that Nathan Ake that had Saka in his pocket all night, scored the winner and was clear man of the match when we played and beat arsenal in the fa cup recently?

Its not even comparable. They made 6 changes for that game, we made 2. Totally different match and the Arsenal high press will be miles better. We need players that can deal with that.

Will Pep play Bernado as a false 3 again, tonight ? Will Erling be fit and firing ? Will Ederson ever be as good with his hands as he is his feet ? All will be revealed in the next episode of the post match thread...

Why have you got a video of Pellegrini in the bath?
 
I think we are set up for a battle tonight ? With the match officials. Antony Taylor,
they have us in their pockets and now with the so-called new man city rule of no back chatting, straight yellow.
Anybody that watched the Liverpool Everton game would have seen loads of Liverpool players mouthing off to the ref and nothing, even in the united game nothing, I bet it's not used on any united players,

SO we have to go out and be 100% and win the game and take the officials out of the game, pretty impossible at their ground after the weekend, they will want everything and more, pep sent off, a couple of players off. VAR tuned into their control, it could get ugly very quick for Manchester city tonight,

We are good enough to win, we should be using it like a Champions League tie or final, all of them against us, even the rule book and officials, So we go out and show them what we are, THE BEST TEAM IN THE WORLD
