Brentford was an anomaly, We're coming off giving West Brom a monumental thrashing. I think there is a chance we could get an away point here.

You could indeed get an away point. I wouldn’t read much into beating West Brom reserves though.

Whilst taking nothing away from the severity of the charges and the impact the case will have on many people's lives (I actually feel sick each time I think of the case) but what, if any, impact do you the think the Mendy case will have on the squad for this match?

Must have been hard to smile and have a laugh in training this week - big test of the personality of all involved today - a win will mean so much to Pep and the players

Zero, certainly no worse than seeing him fuck everything up when youve trained hard all week.

Re not getting Kane and Trany, most players will be relieved.

Hope the squad wounds from Porto have heeled re Peps selection brain fart thats the bigger issue for me.

Off to Spoons in Ashton now, what a. lovely day to stick it up the Arse. Come on City.

 

[PragueBlue]

My starting 11 would be:

Ederson

Walker Stones Dias Zinchenko

Bernardo Rodri Gundogan

Jesus Torres Grealish

I suspect Cancelo and Laporte will start in place of Stones and Zinchenko though and possibly Sterling in place of Torres.

Just looked out of the window to see blue sky, looks like it could be a nice day. It's my birthday today, son and other half bought me the away shirt and an mug with Aguero and the 93.20 moment on. Heading off to the game later, meeting friends and hoping for a repeat of last week. Will be a bit tougher I know but I think we can do it. Looking forward to the game and seeing the statues. What better way to spend a day?

All the very best Blue!

The fact he continued training and playing might imply the Club believed his version of events after it first came to light. Now they have no option but to suspend him, the players will be wanting to show their support by putting in a performance out there on the pitch.
