I don't think this is going to be the best game to watch. Wouldn't be surprised if we go out but hoping for the best.

Just wondering, how do Mahrez and Palmer set up in the same starting eleven.

See Sevilla first half, by being too close to each other…Pep, remarked on it and then moved Cole closer to Alvarez second half.

Shit grindy loss I think. It'd be a nice touch of old 'typical city' if raz scored a last minute winner

 

[I'm Blue]

Christ look at that line up.
Easy win for City : )

Ok,still disagree,Palmer is a good replacement for Mahrez/Grealish,otherwise we are creating issues.Bellinghma could come in and replace as he has attributes/strengths that are different but equally effective in the same position.

Then why does Pep keep playing him centrally?

 

[thanatos]

this reeks of a relatively boring, lifeless 1-0 loss

Same as every other time. Palmer plays the KDB role, Mahrez out wide.

Just got to my seat on the east stand and I don’t recognise anyone sat around me. The place is full of day trippers

Maybe because theres nobody else unless you play the regulars.

Good job Kepa is injured…

Shame Mahrez isn’t
