City players getting changed in the bar hey?
Let's hope they don't stagger onto the pitch singing Bluemoon.

How heavy is the snow down there I wonder?

There isn’t any

But, if there was, it would weigh about 50Kg per cubic metre.

Just found out Aymeric, Ruben and John all have birthdays in May and Aymeric is literally one day older than John. If we do play a back 3 with these 3 at the back, we could have a May trio going. Cancelo could drift into Midfield come back to RB in defence with Laporte moving to LB.

as long as we remember to buy them a birthday cake

Cannot underestimate them. Chorley did enough last night to beat Wolves and given the aerial bombardment, long throws, poor pitch and a ref who usual is trigger happy with the cards (60 in 14 games and only 1 game he has issued less than 3) but no doubt will change tactics today and let them foul without being carded, i wouldn’t put Garcia in as we will need height as we are not that great defending corners and free kicks.
Plus the fact we are worse at shooting than Stormtroopers it could be a tight game

have you seen our front two May and Lloyd? Any aerial bombardment, will need to be coming in at about 5' :) Pitch is good, so our fluent misjudged passing game will be on :)

 

[yerwot?]

start with a strong side, establish a solid lead then consider resting first-teamers, that is the Pep way.
By "strong" this means first choice, those that say a team of academy players will easily beat Cheltenham are very optimistic, imo. A good flat pitch, opposition not known as cloggers, the game will be no more hazardous than a training session....

Hmmm. I wouldn’t mind being the kit man for the day.

Walker, Stones, and Foden all have the same birthday too.

--------------------------Stefan-------------------------
Cancelo---------Harwood-Bellis--------Laporte--------Mendy
------------Doyle-------Ferna-------Foden-----------
Mahrez------------------Jesus------------------Torres

If we have a lead by half-time then swap out Cancelo & Foden as we can use up to 5 subs in this game.

this would be my side. Only with Garcia at right back.
