[ManCityGR!]

Pep's told the press this week that Mahrez hasnt been starting because he's not in the right physical condition (aka he's unfit) so what kind of message does it send to Palmer that he's playing ahead of him?

That our last year's top scorer in CL needs to be fit again to shine again. :)
Players should know their rank in the team. Unfortunate but true.

Got to love Crouch.

Sly stone from bbc sportspage
Given the amount of goals he has scored in the early weeks of his Manchester City career, it is no surprise Erling Haaland is the centre of attention, nor that he is being linked with Real Madrid.

City have to deal with that - and also navigate round the speculation around a release clause in the contract he signed in the summer.

However, there are additional suggestions Haaland's contract contains a clause that is exclusive to Real and gives the Spanish giants a massive advantage if they wanted to buy him.

BBC Sport has been told those rumours are not true and there is no aspect of the deal that ensures Real get preferential treatment.

For their part, City are just enjoying the fact Haaland has turned them into overwhelming favourites win the Champions League for the first time in their history this season.

Went missing from the BBC on Sunday the rag coont.

We’ve fielded a fair few teams who were all Zzzzzs in the past

Stuart Pearce likes this.

Got to love Crouch.

Not in 2010, but he’s been decent since then, the fluke of a volley at Stoke aside.

How would you suggest he get match fit?

Just trying to figure out Mahrez in midfield. Are we going three at the back with Cancelo and Grealish making a four in the middle with Alvarez haaland and Mahrez up front ?

EDS have overaged spots available…

All due to the hard work done by the boys down in the lab. ;)

Looks like they flagged that KDB needs a rest, and Álvarez is going to be the pressing rabbit in the 4-4-2/4-2-4 tonight.

I would think this would be it.
A big responsibility for Grealish - come on lad show us that you can do it!

I'd be very surprised. I think Grealish is left and Mahrez right with Alvarez just behind Haaland
