That’s got to be our best team without Kevin, Haaland and Doku.

Rico Lewis in midfield. Sorry I just don’t get it. Would much prefer Kovacic or Nunes.

Interesting. Personally I’d like to have seen one or both of Nunes and Kovacic keep their place but this is a great lineup. i‘m guessing Bernie in the middle with Phil on the right but who knows ?

 

[Xhavenjoe]

I demand to know where all those new players we bought at the start of the season are?

I'd guess the opposite. I thought we started to come alive last game with Bernie on the RW and Phil centrally.

This is a big game. Yes, in theory we should win but we all know winning cup finals is never that easy and Fluminense are desperate to win. A win would cement us at the pinnacle of world football not just in the eyes of people who follow football but to all those that do not. Being called World Champions does matter in the mad, mad world we inhabit. Come on City!

I agree mate, I’d have Nunes in there to start all day long..

 

[bluemoon32]

Surprised at Rico starting but come on City

 

[Ghostofmerlin]

I think we win 3-1, because we can't seem to keep a clean sheet these days.

Well one thing is for sure it would piss red media off and ruin Simon stones Xmas
