Brentford (H) - Tues 20th Feb, 19:30 | Pre-Match Thread

Another stuttering performance coming up here I feel but we'll edge it 2-1. Ederson, Walker, Dias, Stones, Ake, Rodri, Bernardo, Kovacic, Doku, Foden, Haaland

It’s sold out but this could be one of those games where the big shiny Blue seats are seen especially in the family stand.

Still 100’s showing as available on the website.

Especially if it is pissing it down like on Saturday. There were rivers running out of the car parks and small lakes to negotiate from the Etihad Metrolink station round to entrance J.

 

[Tricky_Trev]

For me, the team should be:

Ederson
Akanji
Stones
Dias
Ake
Rodri
Foden
KDB
Bernardo
Haaland
Bobb

It won’t be, but it should be.

I like this lineup especially with Jack being injured. Doku is always available to come on when they get ragged. In the recent game against them they, like a lot of teams who play us, got fatigued and that's when space opens up. We need control and move them about. I also don't think Walker is in the best of form and his bombing forward leaves us open to Toney on the counter.

Poor Pep.

I'd go with this too.

 

[lionheart]

Toney will definitely score with a header from a corner and from a breakaway, so we need to score at least three for victory.

 

[AliBobbyJ]

Toney will definitely score with a header from a corner and from a breakaway, so we need to score at least three for victory.

And Haaland will miss three open goals, KDB will get injured, Walker will get sent off and it will piss down all night.. Definitely.

 

[aka blue jambo]

Was going to give this a miss after having to stay over for Chelsea but managed to get 2 of the £1 train tickets so feck it
Cmon City

 

[Damanino]

watch out for long balls and runners. it was a stupid goal to concede few weeks ago, Ake was naive vs Toney and we let Maupay make a run and rest is clear, 1 chance = 1 goal.

we also lost this fixture last season, it was that rubbish performance last game before most players took off for Qatar Word cup, did have a feel to it no one wants to get an injury.

rip these fuckers apart this time. best way to do it be up 2-0 in 25 mins.

 

[Stoned Rose]

These are getting an absolute bumming.

Haaland to get back at it, no dicking about.

I’d just take a win,but I will say someone is going to be on the end of thrashing very soon the amount of chances we are creating but obviously not finishing at the moment will come to a head for a team or two ..

 

[Gone for a Burton]

Toney will definitely score with a header from a corner and from a breakaway, so we need to score at least three for victory.

Jesus.....what a bloody juvenile attitude when this team is playing for immortality including a Champions League Final at Wembley !!

 

[train man]

Rodri and Walker be alert to, and not react to, that feckin maupay's constant wumming tactics.
And get Johnny S back in the team, if fit.

 

[The Lightbowne Cowboy]

And Haaland will miss three open goals, KDB will get injured, Walker will get sent off and it will piss down all night.. Definitely.

And we'll run out of chips.

Therein lies the problem. The balance of the team has not been right all season due to injuries and the treble hangover.

A stable team of Rodri, Stones, Jack, Bernie, Foden, Kev, Haaland, Ake, Dias, Akanji/Walker has not been an option.

We need this while using Doku/Alvarez/Gvardiol/Nunes/Bobb etc depending on the game.

A settled city will win numerous trophies. That’s all that can beat us and has done so far this season.
