Not looking forward to this, be lucky come away with a draw, but now I’ve said that we will win 3-0 no doubt

 

[Millwallawayveteran1988]

Nailed on.

Ederson
Walker
Stones
Dias
Ake
Lewis
Kovacic
Foden
Bernado
Haaland
Alvarez

 

[MadchesterCity]

Dunno if I’m missing something, but why do neither of you think Walker will start?!

Ah yes he most likely will and should

 

[SiMCFC]

Not really looking forward to this at all annoyingly, I never say that about our games but just have a horrible feeling it will be another shit result for us

 

[wolviedinho]

We need a few other guys to step up now. Haaland needs to be finding the back of the net.

 

[SATCHyyyy23]

Think we’re all missing John stones aren’t we ?

Has to play Wednesday !!

 

[jim tolmies perm]

We don't look like winning anywhere in the league atm ...never ending injuries and now suspensions mean I'm writing this off.

 

[ninjamonkey]

Struggle to see how we win this.

Ederson
Walker
Akanji
Dias
Ake
Stones
Kovacic
Bernardo
Foden
Alvarez
Haaland

That will have to be foden left, bernardo right alvarez behind haaland with stones and kovacic hopefully staying central.

Serious lack of options yet again. I'm praying peps held stones back exactly for this reason knowing that Rodri has had this looming ban over his head for the last few weeks. We're in serious trouble if he's not ready.

Dias, walker, kovacic or alvarez could have no arguments if they were to find themselves on the bench but there's nobody else available so most of them know they're going to play, which breeds complacency.

Don't think it's the game for lewis. They'll be very physical in midfield and no rodri makes it even worse. They'll act quickly and directly and the crowd will be well up for it so we need to plug those wide open gaps if we don't want to lose.

Can't see how we prevent them from scoring and I'm struggling to see where the creation is going to come from. They've been playing a back 5 recently so 3 centre backs are going to make it difficult to put any kind of aerial ball in to haaland.

Optimism for this is on a going to klanfield a few years back level.

 

[Semper aggressus]

We’re wank this season. Treble hangover or injuries or not good enough replacements for Gundogan, but whatever it’s fucking shit.

 

[justsaying]

can only see a draw or probably a loss the way our defence is.
