Horrible game. These bastards will be baying for a giant killing and after the shit we served up against Lyon the players need to get back to how they can play. No slow, complacent stuff this time as Cardiff will probably come flying out at us with the usual dirty Warnock Sunday league clogging tactics. Could be two embarrassing defeats in a row if we're not right up for this. Lose at Cardiff and the media will be crowning the scousers as champions on Saturday night.
 
No Mendy so I'd go:

Ederson
Walker Stones Kompany Zinchenko
Merlin Dinho Bernado
Sterling Serg Sane

It might be a tough slog.
 
Not a great fixture to have after a demoralising defeat midweek. we need to be right up for it from the kick off, if we allow them to gain confidence we will struggle. Having said that, I fully expect Pep to have them firing from the off. I'd bring in at least one of Kompany or otamendi at the back to deal with their physical approach. Hopefully no gundogan, Bernardo in the centre and our wide players on the correct flank to offer width.

4-1 up to Huddersfield at home was ideal for Foden. 3-0 up at home to Fulham was ideal for Foden. Pep failed to give him a single minute in either of those.

For all the good Pep's done for this club, I can't see him turning Foden into a top player. He simply doesn't want to use him. Guardiola's only real flaw.

As fans we need to stop treating Foden as a special case purely because hes from the academy. He's just as much a part of the squad now as the other 20+ first teamers which means no preferential treatment. Simply put, there's better players ahead of him that start and theres also better players ahead of him on the bench too. And thats without adding in match specific circumstances like injuries, formation changes, resting certainp.ayers etc. I don't see an outcry for zinchenko to have got minutes during those home wins and he's had zero play time this season. Foden will get chances during the season without the need to try and for certain minutes in whenever there's an opportunity.

How we miss KDB, he ran the show in this match.
Colin's typical team tactics at 2:40 and 4:45 from last season's cup tie.

 
Fuck Colin Wanker, Cardiff are getting their arses well and truly spanked on Saturday, the reaction from the midweek dross we served up will be there, the energy will be there and the result will be there...! 4-0 City...!
 
Ederson
Walker Stones Laporte Delph
Gundogan
Sterling Silva Bernardo Sane
Aguero

would be my choice. If Danilo is fit I wouldn't be averse to giving him a run out ahead of Walker. Would be good to give Mahrez minutes too but we have to win this so i'd leave Sterling in as he's been one of our better performers of late.
