[daflanger]

Think aguero still out so see Sterling in

In that case I would go with Torres cause Sterling needs more time. He can come on second half

 

[daflanger]

This will be another grind. 2-1 I think

Palace will make us work hard for a win. I am sure of that!!!

We just need to be clinical

Walker

De Bruyne

Foden
Bernardo
G.Jesus

Stop that diving twat Zaha and we'll win this comfortably

 

[citytill1die84]

I actually think they’ll be worse. They wont be able to keep the ball like brighton did. High press with agressive defenders on zaha and benteke and the whole game will be in their half

Hope so.

Jesus in for Mahrez and Walker in for Zinchenko.

And Fernandinho for Rodri

Ederson
Walker Stones Dias Cancelo
Rodri
KDB Gundogan
Raheem Jesus* Foden

*If Aguero is fit, I would give him a chance. Jesus is not in form right now.
Torres deserves more minutes too. Maybe he can play in second half.
Raheem is not a good finisher but he improves our game a lot, something that Mahrez Could not do.

Looking beyond thus game it’ll be interesting to see if our game against Villa goes ahead, string likelihood their game v Everton won’t

Diving's not his only problem, he has the looks that would frighten a police horse.

Depends on Torres post-Covid status, we saw potentially what it’s done to jesus

 

[bluemoon32]

Won't be an easy game, we looked tired last night but it's a must win in a game we'd expect to pick up three points.
3-1 City, late goals to seal the win

 

[Airbags Optional]

A potential banana skin this if we don’t fucking learn to finish. We seem to play worse against these shit teams. How can we comfortably beat Chelsea, rags and Arse but play so shit against Brighton and draw with fucking WBA? Need to start dicking these lower sides, get the goal difference and confidence up.

You are a bundle of joy aren’t you..

I've posted elsewhere that Torres (and Doyle) have both lost 2-3 Kilo, so Covid has affected them more than some and I wouldn't be expecting an early return.

 

[TINY]

No sterling no mahrez, Torres in for mahrez

 

[LongsightM13]

2 words Lee Fucking-Mason

Fatso Mason is always the opposition’s best defender when City play as he routinely waddles directly into our inside left passing lane and is too slow and stupid to step back even five yards. Been going on for years

That’s a lot for an athlete

 

[EdersonsSmiley]

These got absolutely destroyed by Villa, should have been 8-0. We should have zero problems, their only threats are two headless chickens in Zaha and Eze.

Would probably play Walker to pocket Zaha with his pace and maybe Cancelo left back as he needs to be in the team somewhere.

Liverpool also got destroyed by Aston Villa and they are second, Leicester beat Southampton 9-0 too these things happen. Crystal Palace set up completely different to Manchester City than they would Aston Villa completely different approach.
It's going to be a tough game, On their day they can cause an upset because they have players in the team that can punish you.
Plus they got points off us at The Etihad in the last two occasions.
I do think we will win the game but we have to beat down a bus and be clever stopping the counter attacks.
