Saturday tbe 20th of Oct

Que?

 

[TrentGrisham]

Is it too early in the season to say this is a 'must-win'? Maybe, but it definitely feels like a big three points with our schedule only getting tougher.

Que?

Sunday is the 21st

Sunday is the 21st

It isn’t

 

[super_city_si]

We're a home and we have Rodri and Stones back. Whether Stones plays is another thing, but I feel a lot better than if it was away

 

[Barcon]

Sunday is the 21st

Not this year it's not.

 

[Pingu the Penguin]

In many ways probably the worst team we could play when on a comparatively bad run of form. Very challenging set of fixtures coming up too. I think we will win tho

 

[Fordyboy46]

This silly betting expert on the Sky website reckons this will finish 3-3. Whilst it's not beyond the realms of possibility, I don't think City are shipping three goals against anybody anytime soon, when was the last time that happened, Newcastle away last season?.

Must win

Can't express how much I fuckin hate International breaks.

Seems like fucking forever since a game at the Etihad.

Fucking cunts in suits deciding when we get to watch our team!

Gonna savour every minute and support the mighty Blues no matter what.

Think we'll shit 'em

 

[SWPISHOME]

Must win

It's certainly not a must win game, There's only 7 games played in the league and we are only two points off top spot.

In regards to getting back on track It's important seen as we've lost the last three in all competitions.

We'll win tomorrow no doubt about it.

I think it will be a tight game, possible draw as the Gulls play tight away and have gotten some great results already. Hopefully Erling has a blood thirsty game and bags a few.

Not so sure tight is the right word, they play attractive football but defensively they leak goals especially away from home eg Villa scoring 6 against them in their most recent PL away game.

Ederson Walker Stones Dias Gvardiol Rodri Kovacic Alvarez Foden Doku Haaland

 

[Dial M 4 Mercer]

On the BBC Sport website Chris Sutton has predicted we will win 6-2.

 

[the blue panther]

We weren't on our best form before the break but, against that, they lost 6-1 away to Villa in their last away game, and away at City is regarded as one of the hardest fixtures, as our record shows.
They drew 2-2 against Liverpool at home but conceded 2 very bad give-away goals in that game, last time out.
They're capable of scoring but I'm confident that we'll win. Not guessing the score though.

 

[hilts]

Get as many of the treble winners in as possible, too big a game to risk the new guys who have only had moments against poor sides.

Ederson
Walker stones dias ake
Rodri
Foden bernardo
Alvarez haaland grealish

 

[richards30]

Stones being back is huge imo, i wonder if Pep maybe go back to last season with Stones stepping in to midfield to get us winning again?

 

[Gray]

After the magnificent efforts of last season the team are basically shattered.

I am yet to see a performance that fills me with any confidence so far this season.

I would bite your hand off for an FA Cup win and a CL repeat.

We beat RBL and all losses were away and without Rodri and one was the league cup which I don't think Pep is prioritising anymore.


We are a top team and will win a lot ........again
