"Heavily depleted Monaco side..."

I'm lumping on us losing.

:)

 

[Centurions]

I foolishly assumed "The kids are" in answer to the question "wearing black tonight?" would have given you the answer :-)
but for clarity - they are wearing the black kit

 

[citeh94]

Donnarumma
Nunes Dias Josko Nico O’R
Nico G Reijnders Bernard
Sav Haaland Doku

3-0 up at half time then bring on Mukasa

 

[yeah whatever !!]

COME ON CITY, COME ON CITY !!!

 

[jimharri]

Give me a fairly routine, no scares two or three goal win. It'd be nice if we were, say, 3 up going into the last 20 minutes*. We could then maybe give a few minutes to one or two of the young lads.



And no bloody injuries!


*Who the fuck said Feyenoord?

 

[Sheik Battle and Goal]

Bernardo spoke in the press conference because he used to play for Monaco and he is the captain of Manchester City.

I wouldn't be surprised if we make 1-2 changes but this is a high priority game. We need to get the points in the early stages of the competition and if we do so, then we can think about resting players in the later stages of qualifying.

Yes I think (hope) the club and players have learnt from last year’s experience in the league stage

[BringBackSwales]

Think last year 16 points got top 8, worth trying to get those points on tne board quickly and rotating the last 2 or 3 February / March can be busy especially if we stay in the league and FA cup cups.

I sense there have been relatively fewer draws so far, might impact that

You are Wayne Rooney and I claim my £5!!!

XI | Donnarumma, Stones, Dias, Gvardiol, O’Reilly, Rodrigo, Bernardo (C), Reijnders, Foden, Doku, Haaland

SUBS | Trafford, Bettinelli, Ake, Kovacic, Nico, Savinho, Nunes, Bobb, Mukasa, Lewis

 

[Ajm1985]

From the looks of that lineup, we won't have a right side in attack

 

[deano ou812]

Oh shit we have been found bang to rights by the premier league pep is off,and Mancini is taking over .. ;-)

 

[freshie]

 

[DMA's]

Arguably the strongest line up. Pep isn’t messing

 

[ninjamonkey]

I take it they have no pace upfront as we have none on defence. I dont like shoehorning stones in on the right. Just play him instead of Dias with 1 of lewis/nunes on the right. Also not liking Rodri playing. Just not a neccesary game for him to play in and Nico would have benefitted from an actual run of games. No issues with anything else. Like the forward line. Their right back is in for a busy night, we'll focus our play almost exclusively down the left with that side. We've gone as strong as possible so we have to get the win.

 

[Chak19]

I was hoping Rodri would be rested, hopefully it'll go smoothly because we need him against Brentford.
