Mummy mirth; )

haha no one would notice.

 

[Zenmanc]

Once Stones is back to more regular game time (on can pray right), Ake comes back and Khus has a few more games under his belt- I'd love to see Gvad playing more in midfield. I think he has a lot of upside there.

 

[BlueMoonRisin’]

haha no one would notice.

I think I'd soon notice that Giza is a mummy: )

 

[BerkshireBlue]

We've actually got options now, must be the first time this season (well second)

 

[alexmcity]

Guess KDB, Savinho and Stones will replace Gundo, Marmoush and Khusanov from the line-up vs Chelsea.

Ederson

Nunes
Stones
Akanji
Gvardiol

Kova
Bernardo
KDB

Foden
Haaland
Savinho

Probably the likeliest lineup, at least the one that would give me the most confidence.

 

[Damocles]

They played well against Ipswich or Chelsea. They should play more in this season together.

They played ok against Ipswich, possibly the worst team in the league.

Chelsea did the incredible favour towards us of never breaking through the centre at all so they never had to defend a counter. So I'm not sure that counts

Hoping oscar bobb can get some minutes in.

 

[lionheart]

Hoping oscar bobb can get some minutes in.

Yes and maybe Rodri too.

 

[noseve]

Hoping oscar bobb can get some minutes in.

I'm really looking forward to him having the chance to become a regular.
I can't remember a player with a better first touch

 

[noseve]

Are you a genuine City supporter? To answer your strange question, which I suspect may be a joke, no not exactly. We merely get the chance to play-off against another top team in order to reach the last sixteen.

Call me pedantic, but I do consider the play-offs as the 'next stage'... ?

 

[noseve]

Not arsed as we aren’t winning the competition so would rather go out and concentrate on top 4.

Maybe you should be arsed - I think (but stand to be corrected) that the further PL teams go in the competition this year determines whether we have 4 or 5 places in the tournament next year?

short memory, Mahrez on a level of his own

I am sure Southampton might disagree that Ipswich are the worst team in the League

He does have 6k posts tbf haha

Oh, the irony - after beating Southampton 1-0, didn't Pep say that he could learn a lot from Russell Martin?
When did the slump start?

Not arsed.

 

[Marvin.]

What if we get through to the next stage and Stones, Dias, Marmoush, Bobb, Khusanov and Doku are fit

 

[Blueeye]

I don't mean that they would deliberately try to lose. Just that they could end up avoiding one of the better teams in the play off.

Is the play off draw seeded

 

[noseve]

short memory, Mahrez on a level of his own

Mahrez touch when recieving a long cross-field ball was impressive, I admit, but Bobb can kill a ball pinged from close range stone dead.
Anyway - I'll be glad to see him back, on a regular basis...
