[paulchapo]

He's on the bench

Yes but if fit he should be in the side.

 

[mancboy]

Nobody tell him about the half-time interviews…

he'll be there somewhere

 

[wattle]

Coz he is likely leaving. Until he isnt, he shouldn't start.

As much as I’d love Ederson to stay I recon you’re right there

 

[Claytop]

God I hope Rodri gets back to his best, fingers crossed for him.

 

[dadnlad]

he'll be doing Maya shoot on the bench

sorted

 

[hilts]

I'd have had Gonzalez over Bernardo but otherwise looks good.

Nah he's our captain and can set the tempo, gonzo is a come on with a lead player for me.

 

[blue b4 the moon]

So what can we expect this afternoon from the prem WWE game this afternoon /
i expect a City player to get the first yellow of the game .
our 6" + striker to be wrestled to the floor at every corner, but thats ok cos hes a big lad so its only fair the defender can use extra force to nullify that disadvantage. Penalty you say under the new rules? look at the shirt colour .
a goal disallowed or allowed under a dubious VAR call that won't be any advantage at all for City because yea shirt colour again.
The ref will be invited to look at the monitor for on field theatre, the decision already made in a trading estate office near Heathrow.

Haha funnily enough I used WFF yesterday to my plastic non-City 'supporting' mates.

They said I was paranoid/bitter etc and although I'm watching on TV today I had to reply to them with the SS classic "If your watching on the telly you're a ****" line.

Didn't go down too well.

 

[Rodri’s ACL]

Yes but if fit he should be in the side.

Just like Isak, anyone who forces a move should never play for the club.

 

[waspish]

What's going on with foden?

That tackle on his ankle last week in the box where they took the ball and his ankle! That’s why he has been out previously his ankles because teams are allowed to just kick us and carry on..

 

[ufo]

Fuckjng foden looks old for his age

 

[lonestay]

Great to see Khusa back

great to see kush full stop!!!!

 

[axlgod]

Khusanov will eat them all up.

 

[bluemc]

4-3-2-1? or 4-3-3 or what?

4-2-3-1 I reckon. But who knows with Pep!

Akanji and Gundogan on the bench. Those guys aren't going anywhere.

 

[pudge]

Hopefully the kick up the arse Dias needs

 

[paulchapo]

Coz he is likely leaving. Until he isnt, he shouldn't start.

Is he though? He's better than Trafford atm and suits our game better. While he's still here he should play.

 

[chris85mcfc]

We may have a bloated squad, but that bench is pretty awful

 

[Vienna_70]

Nunes is there

Yeah, I saw it as soon as I posted.

 

[Ric]

Great to see Khusanov and Rodri start, and happy with Nunes at right-back.

 

[citizen_maine]

Yes but if fit he should be in the side.

Maybe he's no longer first choice, particularly if he's going tomorrow

 

[dickie davies]

4-3-2-1? or 4-3-3 or what?

Im hoping a good old fashioned 4 4 2
