Ake or Gvardiol at CB you reckon? I assume Ake but not sure since G was a CB once too.

Arse loss need to give us just enough extra motivation to overcome these...

Let's do our job now, hopefully.

Reckon it'll be an unpleasant game

Fearing the worst today, then I always do…….

Way better team than I expected. Had my boots ready if needed.

Love Rico but he needs to be in midfield, having Walker's pace back is a big bonus. At least one of those latest goals we conceded on the right side wouldn't have happened with Kyle in the side.

Rico leaves oceans of space down his side……at least Walker can get back

 

[Eccles Blue]

So? He's just getting last minute instructions from Pep!! ;-) :-)

Ake, so G can get forward.

Pep is a right wum! Walker starting, Akanji starting, De Bruyne and Doku on the bench and Stones and Dias not in the squad. He has definitely sent a rocket to remind some everyone has niggles and they need to help each other out.

I'm the same, it's the default, but I just don't see the movement in the final third from that team nor the midfield legs to stop the counters.

We shall see though

Rico plays midfield and “covers” the RB position when given the time to get back.

Don’t hate the player, hate the game (he is asked to play!).
