Come on you blue boys!

Gvardiol performances have been consistently poor all season, I just don’t think the lad can defend …doesn't have the tactical brain for it.

Last season he defended very well. It’s no coincidence that this season he hasn’t. He’s been playing too much football with no midfield or half fit players around him

So; what 15 minute period of the game will Bournemouth score their first goal? I'll go for somewhere between minutes 16 and 30.

Hope they've all adjusted their clocks or we could be 2 nil down before the match actually starts.

Exactly what they used to say about Stones. Always a fuck up or brain fart that costs the team in every game. But miracle or miracles, as he matured he improved. And became one of the best centre backs around and crucial in the treble season. Obviously he has a different issue now (staying fit) but that's not the point.

One of the best defenders in Germany when he played for Leipzig. Just think playing him out of position is making him look like a shit defender. He's a CB he should be played as a CB.

Well - the team are here - was behind the caches about an hour ago when they stopped at some hotel in the town centre

Tried to hang around to see who got off - but was getting some other drivers pissed off

I’ve been saying that all season. When him and Ake play together (our best left side combination imo) Ake should be at left back and gvardiol at left centre back:

You'll be surprised who are members on here.

Yeah there's a few ex players from years back who read this site.

If we're winning or drawing with 25 mins to ho then please God have the fullbacks at fullback

Let's hope Pep picks the correct team and the real Manchester City turn up.

That's just greedy.

Good luck with that then…..

Asking too much?

 

[Marvin.]

Sorry but I think he is a dreadful defender.

Guardiiola's only weakness is he isn't the quickest but he's one of the best left sided defenders in the League.

 

[Gray]

Let's hope Pep picks the correct team and the real Manchester City turn up.

He has got all morose and negative recently, hope it does not affect the players adversely.

We need him to manage, not play though.

All the away sides have won, which is a good omen. Unless it’s never been done before that all four quarter finals have been won by the away sides, in which case it’s a bad omen. Oh well

Apparently that 6 leagues in 7 years bald fraud is shit as well

Not bashing him, he is a really good player but no way is he a full back.
