Thank you Kyle. We can sleep that bit easier now.

We don't want to try and nick it with being defensively perfect.

Inter are very dodgy at the back and I suspect City will create numerous chances and put to bed the myth about Italian defences these days.

Long gone are the greats of Baresi, Maldini, Costacurta, Nesta, etc.

Some of their best defenders now are fucking Chris Smalling and Tomori.

Chris Smalling ?now I feel confident.

I don’t think Walker being out would be that much of a blow. Akanji would just move to right back and Ake left back. Akanji is hard to beat 1v1, as he’s proved over the past months.

Julio Cesar is set to start in goals for Inter on Saturday.

No problem we have Norwegian Brutus .

 

[Cityinmud]

Kyle is okay!!!

 

[chaddblue]

Walker will be fine. It’s only Tuesday !!!

 

[pride in battle]

If Walker isn't 100%, it's a pretty easy call for Pep to put Ake in.

Akanji Dias Ake
Stones Rodri

Kyle will be fine I'm sure...

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

Kyle is fine, just giving his dick a rest.

So winning fouls and getting in the opponent's head isn't part of winning a game? What a load of shite.

Jack has been one of the hardest working and most committed players throughout the season, tracking back with goal line clearances and tackles and making chances at the other end. There's every chance we wouldn't even be talking about a treble without him. He's played his part, just like Nathan, Ilkay, Kev, Erl, Eddie, et al. To sum up his play as "getting fouled and not trying to win" shows such a desperate level of idiocy...

Embarrassing how certain fans persist with daft vendettas against our own players, it really is.

And you'd think after seven years of Pep, people might have cottoned on to the fact that nothing happens on that pitch without his say-so. If Jack is repeatedly getting fouled and having a little pop and cheeky grin at the opposition, it's because Pep is fine with it and potentially even encourages it. This is even more backed up by the fact that Jack virtually never gets in any trouble for his antics, and it more often than not results in opposing players getting booked and giving away more fouls and free kicks. It's shithousery 101 and he's proven to be a master of it, but apparently some are too thick to understand that. Scary.

If you say so , he gets in too many fights, just play the game
