Eddie in nets presumably they press pretty hard so he can hit the outball.

Wonder if that’s Grealish central again with Bernie out wide?

Hopefully.

Kev starting is fucking idiotic given we've got the scum on Sunday.

Gundogan playing every minute of every game all season pretty much - the poor sod, really not what he came back for at all.

We've all lied on a sickie ;-)

Everybody has up to seven days to 'self-certify' with illness. After that, proof of sickness is required by the employer, which can be signed off by any medical practitioner. That's for us mere mortals, the rules for pro-footballers might be different. There's a nasty cough lurgy going round at the moment, 2-3 weeks for most people I know, so I've no reason to doubt what Foden had/has.

Who is Hudson ?

Bit of a Rock

Lol. Gonna be a loooooooooong night.

Wouldn't have gone that strong - we're almost certainly going into the play-off round as it stands.
Might have been better resting some or giving less minutes. But I'm not in charge

Some bonkers comments on here. Finishing in the top 8 is still possible and those two fewer games will be much more beneficial to us finishing in the top 4.

The rags are away tomorrow in a game they have to win as they're flopping in the Europa. We are still making stupid errors with and without the ball, much better to find some consistency and confidence ahead of the derby than throw this game.

It's going to be incredibly difficult for us to win the league, but stay in the CL and anything could happen come the knockouts.

Good to see Kovacic/Foden back. I’m dreading another Walker disasterclass

Starting to lose his pace is one thing but he appears to have lost the ability to mark anybody, sense danger or do even the basics correctly. I'm shocked at how badly he has played this season.

Where is the great Scott?

He'll have seen his arse, off in January. ;-)
