Foden will have to carry that midfield but just no more injuries please

Happy enough with that. Gone from.having no left footers in the backline in recent weeks to almost all.

Immediate thought would be walker, laporte. Ake, gomez as the back 4 with lewis in with phillips and foden ahead of them but now wondering to even out the distribution of left footers could we perhaps see Lewis right back, Walker and Laporte cb with ake left back with gomez in midfield?

Id love us to just not lose tso we can remain unbeaten, a win would be delightful but just don't get injured. That's the only concern at this point, treat it like a friendly if needs be.

Might be reading too much into this.. but Pep giving Foden more time in the midfield very much makes me think that’s where he will be next year. Almost like this is the trial run. Didn’t a tier 1 say that was Pep’s long term plan with him? I think he’s perfect for that 10 role.

If either or both of Gundo or Bernie go I expect we’ll see Phil playing a lot deeper next season. Until he went off last week he looked very good there.

Our team (vs their team) is good enough to win.

But I don’t really care about the result, I just want a good run out with no injuries.

Wouldn’t mind Alvarez getting a hat trick and Phillips getting a goal, though. ;-)

Walker can't play this system
Walker plays ever game since

 

[Eccles Blue]

You know what I’d really like today?

City to win by 6 goals and no injuries incurred. Give us a great boost lads ready for the two big ones ahead please! :-) :-)







OK, I’m a dreamer, but dreams come true sometimes!!!!

I think the game will be lost on set pieces. That is a tiny team

I might have a stream for this, just waiting for the kick off to confirm.

Absolutely Foden is our future 10

We will know next week if playing the stiffs was the right decision.

Personally......i think its the right choice getting minutes in the players that havent had much of a look in.You never know.....some may still be needed when it matters.
