[Gundoggin]

This is now a cup final of sorts a must win game for City .

If I was McAtee I’d be telling Pep I want to go out on loan in Jan to get some game time. He’s not getting a look in this season.

We need to sell him because he clearly has no place at City. I feel sorry for the lad because Pep persuaded him to return to be in the squad when he wanted to stay in Sheffield. Pep has taken the piss out of him I think.

if McAtee asks for a loan he will get what Palmer got. stay or be sold. no loan.

Why Pep Guardiola isn't playing James McAtee and other Man City youngsters

Mcatee played a full season in a relegation battle so don't think this is a valid point for him

Will anyone notice?

It will be very cold that day

Still no Kevin?

what about Kevin?

At the moment I'd be bringing him on around the 60min mark...he can't run, he is dispossessed easily, can't track back, can't carry the ball through the midfield...he is a shadow of the player he once was. He has the occasional magic still in his boots and can occasionally look like he is going to create something but that's about it

I see there's still shitloads of tickets left for this on one of the best days to watch a match. Then I saw the ticket prices, nearly 70 quid for adults , just fuck off

I also read somewhere that kids are £40. Ridiculous pricing by the club with all the other expense at this time of year.

Makes my SC look cheap !

Yep. Be far better suited to the super sub role at this stage in his career. Might help him to maintain some level of fitness as well.

If he isn’t playing ahead of our iron lung midfield at the moment he never will, cock block Pep
