Is Micah wearing bingo's old glasses?

I think he's playing a back three of Stones Laporte and Cancelo. Maybe/probably wrong.

Disappointed there's no room for Grealish. Apart from Sterling, most players relish playing their former teams.

The fact that Walker isn't starting is a guarantee that he's not fit enough to play a full game, in my eyes.

The saying "if he's fit enough for the bench, he's fit enough to start" is demonstrably not true when you remember what happened with Stones in Madrid.

fixed that for you mate ;)

Just hope Fern doesn't drag Watkins down and gets an early booking or red. Just my half glass thinking there.

 

[Chris B]

playing a 37 year old dm who costs us goals as a cb, who lacks pace and positional awareness is self sabotage.

We lack cover at right back. Fern is an experienced guy who knows what it takes to win pressure games. Picking him for this game is not self sabotage.

I’m assuming Kyle is not fully fit and so isn’t an option to pick as a starter. We need to win so we need players at full back who are comfortable going forward. Ake is not that at the level we play at. Zin isn’t any stronger as a defender on current form. So, Fern it is and he will not let us down.

 

[Keeper!]

I am on my second pair of grundys, it's going to be a long 90 minutes

Gonna smoke a blunt to ease my nerves and then watch city do their magic
