Brighton (a) pre-match thread

[kaz7]

PEP @DeBruyneKev trained the last two days. He could (be involved).

 

[rowarta]

Ferna out, KDB maybe available

 

[kaz7]

Fernandinho is definitely out.Maybe for the FA Cup final - we will see.

Pep Guardiola on #BHAMCI: “It will be nice if we score first but we analyse Brighton and know how well they defend. If they use set-pieces and counter-attacks with their quality players, they are so good but maybe in their last game they might go forward more.”

 

[Daz_Blue]

If KDB is back he should play

EDERSON

WALKER KOMPANY LAPORTE ZINCHENKO

STERLING GUNDY KDB BERNARDO SANE

AGUERO

SUBS MURIC DANILO STONES FODEN MERLIN MAHREZ JESUS

Would be a huge boost to have De Bruyne back.

 

[kaz7]

PEP I didn't expect a month ago, when we were seven points behind Liverpool to be here - it’s a dream. It’ll be tough. If the game is going bad we will be calm, we have to have a plan and follow a plan like we have done all season.

 

[Belgique est Fantastique]

Don’t rule KDB out for this one...

Here we go

 

[meeesh]

Very short shrift answer regarding Ferna,no intentions of saying what is up,these press conferences make me cringe at times,he hates this side of the game,just hates them with looks of things

KDB

Well well well........

 

[pudge]

Getting more and more worried about Dinho to be honest. What injury does he even have?

Mendy-itis?

He can unlock any bus,would like sane to play if kev does as those 2 work really well together

Why wouldn’t he to be fair?

The vast majority of those present are quite literally paid to do their best to catch him out on something, anything.

It is an adversarial relationship because it has to be. They are not there to be his friend, they are there to tear him down, and get him to help them do it.

 

[City Raider]

All these questions are so fucking barbed. I don’t know how he sits there and answers so respectfully.

 

[kaz7]

Pep Guardiola on the mood in the City camp: “It’s a privilege. We are in this position because we won 13 in a row, we have to win one more in the Premier League. I see the team relaxed, training good, smiling a lot, completely focused on the pitch or in meetings.”

“Anything can happen and one mistake or one incredible performance from the opponent, one mistake from the referee can decide the title. That’s why we have to be precise in all the aspects over these last three years and try to win the game.”

Can’t be that bad if he’s a possible for the FA Cup.

Not sure I agree. OGS conference a lot more respectful and they’re 29 points off us and the place is falling apart.

Pep Guardiola: "Experience [with David Silva, Vincent Kompany and Sergio Aguero] is important, but it's a new season. The most incredible moment in this club's history is when Sergio scored that goal. But everyone has to make his contribution in the final game."

Pep Guardiola: “People destroy teams, destroy managers, destroy clubs [when they don’t win trophies]. We know we will be judged [if we don’t win the league].”
