Liverpool, scum, spurs and Leicester all big games where we didn't turn up. Whose to says we going to change tomorrow? This team I don't trust and thats what this fraud of a manager has done to our club.

He can win by only picking players who will be at City next season and will want to bust a gut to get themselves into the CL.

He will rightly get slaughtered (and frankly should be sacked on the spot) if he insists on giving 'final appearances' to once good players who he and they and we all know will be out of the door in a few weeks.

Because they will not have the same personal motivation and will be there not for reasons connected with next season but sentiment for past seasons.

The time to give those players a last farewell is AFTER the match.

And they will get a far better one than he will engineer if we win and the mood is upbeat than if he shoehorns them into a losing cause.

That surely cannot be open to any reasonable disagreement now or at 3 pm tomorrow.

If we go down fighting with players who will be here next season doing their best that is fine by me. Losing is not the issue. Losing whilst players more focused on saying bye bye are not striving every sinew for success surely is.

I agree with everything you say, but as I say, some will not agree with no matter who he picks and throw a strop.

I am bloody delighted this is Manuel's last home game. The last two seasons have been depressing to say the least. The man won a title with Mancini's team and then proceeded to take us backward at a rate of knots. Even the rags have been beating us. Less of the holistic in future, please.

GOODBYE.

Needs Nasri-whilst he isn't Silva we need his creativity which was so badly missing in Madrid.

Habitually disappears whenever we play the gooners, starting from the second the 1st chorus of boos reach his sensitive little ears.

Good point. Maybe bring Nasri in for Navas and move Sterling over to the right.

I was thinking of Navas and Sterling wide due to Arsenal's fullbacks who are quick, athletic and like to get forward.

I just think our lines are too straight with that team and their full backs as you said are quick enough to nullify our wingers. More likely nasri for sterling-it is odd that sterling doesn't play right side hardly ever when the left restricts his game so much for me.

He does-but he's had such an injury hit season that maybe he's more determined. Will certainly be fitter than last week.

Hope so mate - would be great to see him finish a troubled season on a high and also give those tarquins a bit of long overdue payback!

It's been mentioned in this thread and we have all seen it, but Nasri has never really turned up against his old club.

Maybe he could change that tomorrow.

Apart from picking Nacho more often and not allowing Kolarov or Demichelles near the stadium exactly who are the players who should have been playing who haven't this season when everyone is going on about team selection?

As if the above weren't bad enough, You clearly missed Playing Yaya in a defensive midfield 2 far too often and playing a suicidal defensive high line with Demichellis and playing 4-4-2 when 4-2-3-1 was more appropriate.
