Brentford (A) - Wed 29th Dec, 20:15 | Pre-Match Thread

[Semper aggressus]

I really hope Foden and Grealish are in the starting XI tonight.

It will be tough tomorrow. They will have seen how Leicester cut through us and have the players to do something similar. I can't see us getting away with another iffy performance. We'll need to be at our best to win.

I disagree. Brentford are depleted. We should have enough. We need to be at our best when we play the likes of Bayern for example. Anyway, what is our best ?

 

[Tangled up in blue.]

Let's face it if we can't beat Brentford well .........

City were last at Brentford for an F.A. Cup tie (lost) in the late '80s. Wasn't there but seem to recall reports of heavy-handed policing in the ground with many arrests. Anyone confirm this?

Yes Police were arseholes that day, got thrown out but not arrested

Being an FOC I can see us fucking this game up.

It's a mentality I struggle to get rid of. Are we wearing our wonderful 3rd kit to flog again as well?

Looks like they've got a load out

Remember a couple seasons back, Norwich had loads of players out yet they still beat us 3-2

Got a feeling Palmer will start tonight

Cancelo-Laporte-Dias-Ake
-----------Gundo------
-------Bernie---Foden----
Jesus----Sterling----Grealish

No goalie ?

Obviously anything can happen against Brentford but all things being equal this could be a very season defining result if we win. 9 pts gap is not massive at this stage BUT the pressure on L/pool will start to really stack up .... thats more about what a win today would mean.
