Don't like the idea of dropping Haaland.

Why ?
Might do him good, come on later in the game then with a point to prove

Sky hoping we blow it - what a surprise.

 

[bluemoon32]

Just seen the players arrive.
All I'll say is - Kev looks mightily pissed off.

I love the guy but if he wants to start then play better

Unfortunately mate some people feel a constant need to throw their toys out their cots and blame people. What a shit season we are having, fa cup semi final, 3 points off top of the league, champions league quarter final, 5 trophies in the year. Sometimes I hanker for being shit, at least the main our fan base used to have a stronger sense of loyalty and positivity. However I’m just going to continue enjoying the ride, miserable FOC that I am

You're right. Still in every competition, might not win any of them but it doesn't mean we're all of a sudden a really poor team. City fans are turning into everything we hated about them rag dick heads in the past.

Im shocked..
fuck em

A 40% Kev is more dangerous than most of em though.

 

[bluemoon32]

Come on City, batter these Villa cunts

I know he hasn't been great of late but I would have played him in this one. I understand KDB sitting it out as he's going to need resting for some games but Haaland is young and, unless injured, I would start him. Alvarez works hard but doesn't have the pace to get behind their defence, nor the presence in the box to get on the end of many crosses.

Sky hoping we blow it - what a surprise.

And I’m hoping Sky and TNT lose the tv rights.
Cunts the lot of em!

Fair comment

 

[Claytop]

Looks like he’s gone Doku instead of Kovacic, Rodri could be a busy man tonight…

Haaland would like to know what they are?

 

[DenisLawBackHeel74]

I hope not, far too light weight in MF

 

[DMA's]

With the schedule haaland and kdb where always going to miss one of the four games coming up. Villa at home is probably the easiest of the games so can understand peps thinking

 

[bluemoon32]

No point anyway, he is shit in the air ha

 

[jimharri]

Kev and Erling on the bench, apparently. I hope this isn't one of Pep's "overthinking" episodes.

 

[alexmcity]

It's not about dropping and benching Haaland and KdB, but about managing their minutes before Palace and Real. They'll be subbed in in the 2nd half if we need them.

Pep was always going to take risks with 4 games in 10 days.

 

[SCEtoAUX]

That's a strong team, 3-0 City.

Wait until you see their face when we win the Champions League live on TNT.

How long before we hear the usual,City can be got at and vulnerable on the counter..
