Agree. Don‘t do it kids.


Our strongest 11 are with 2 DMs and KDB behind striker. We saw his performance against Wolves on this position.

With KDB and Bernie in front of Rodri we are very weak defensively as they leave Rodri alone to deal counter attacks. We need Gundo’s patience and

Personally I rather seeing Bernardo in the middle with KDB and Rodri. I wouldn't be disappointed to see Gundogan start either but I think we are at our best with Bernie, KDB and Rodri. We need Foden, Gabby and Sterling/Grealish as the front three, Bernardo is unbelievable at creating overloads out wide when we are in possession.

I wouldn't be surprised to see the team you've chosen though.

Defending counter attacks is about players being disciplined. We shouldn’t need two DMs against Villa. I would like to see Bernardo start but, having said that, I wouldn’t mind Gundogan starting on the basis that he would be making those late runs into the box.

 

[Sir peace frog]

very confident about sunday, i expect a tough game, but a game we will win, going for 3-0,
tight first half city dominating and finishing villa off about 70 mins in, then pass pass pass,dont care who scores , but would love jack to get a goal in front of the villa fans.

Agreed. He's still the best midfielder we have at breaking the lines running beyond our front three. He's unbelievable at it.

Forget Premier League titles.
Let's all take a minute to meditate the fact that this weekend we're losing legends like Hodgson and Lawrenson.

Well you can see his point of view. I mean there's no-one whatsoever behind Rodri, is there? I mean, it's an open net if they get past him.

They both at death’s door?

Well, given our injuries, that’s not entirely inaccurate…
