Are you on the wind up or taking very strong drugs?

Come on, Swales!!
I'm making a point to another poster in a very petty and smug way. It's the way Bluemoon taught me.

Philips?
Ah!
Get off the beer lad!

Haha buzzing mate, what a weeekend, makes mines a treble!

Agreed, think Jacks performances have dropped over past month so I would pick Foden ahead of him

Because of Akanji at LB instead of Ake. Place the blame where it lies.

To be clear, I like Akanji. Just not for Ake at LB unless Ake is injured.

I get it and it would be kind of crazy but City are at their best when they keep other teams on their heels. Bernardo is the best at regaining possession but if they never give it up (which should be the goal on Saturday) it won't matter.

He can be rather good in attack, too, can't he? I mean, that was the impression I got seeing a recent match against a Spanish side…

I assume Ederson will start (although every time Ortega plays he makes a strong case to be our number 1). Other than that the same team that started against the Rags.

Walker is immense at dealing with quick wingers, but do Inter pose a threat in this way? Is their left wing back a threat in advanced areas that we need Walker's pace to counter it? If not do we play someone at right back better in possession, like Stones or Akanji, to give us more control? If Inter pose a threat at set pieces aswell then it makes sense for Ake to come in at the expense of Walker, and switch Akanji to right back.

Think Walker won’t play Saturday we will play four centre backs

This is going to be a bloody long week

It's free on BT sport for those who cannot get time off work or can't afford the ridiculous prices.

I see several CL finals for City in the next decade. That said we can't be wasting this opportunities. Showcase our best play and win. I don't want to see the club end up like Juventus who can't seem to win in the finals they been in since the 90's.
