Brilliant vote of confidence for lewis. Not a huge fan of grealish n mahrez combo but Hope to be proven wrong. Come on blues!

Thought Mahrez v Liverpool looked sharper than he has been for a long time. He showed last season he has goals in him.

Hopefully they both have a good game and prove us wrong

Tyler Adams is suspended for Leeds so they're lacking a bit in midfield

 

[Ric]

Great to see Rico keep his place. Come on City!

 

[Eccles Blue]

Amazpn give us the option of just Stadium FX so we don't need to listen to how many goals MANUre scored, how many fuckin' touches Rashford had, how many Leeds players are loaned to MANUre and vice versa!

Oh I didn’t know that I’ll have to have an explore. Thanks.

It's funny, isn't it, but Mahrez really gets Pep's vote. Don't get me wrong, I think he's a very skilful player who doesn't quite deliver in a lot of matches. (The goal against Liverpool was sublime, but he didn't do a lot else of note). But Pep must see something that we don't, I suppose. Have to trust him on this.

Rico has earnt his start but big game for him..he has the intensity but does he have the brain........he needs to not get too excited and get caught too far forward/out of position.

Dont like seeing Mahrez or Grealish on the pitch ....both slow, lack goal threat and intensity and dont create much either..but hopefully its enough against a poor Leeds side.

I’d of wanted him in personally, he leaves gaping holes with his naivety to push on, that’s a KDB wet dream!

 

[2sheikhs]

Have the rules changed? We're 8 behind arsenal but if we lose tonight, it goes to 11?????

 

[blueste41]

Trying not to be negative but going away to leeds with a slow midfield and wingers is a bad move.

And that's trying to be not negative?

Missing a few Leeds by the looks.. Summerville not starting either who looked decent pre world cup.

 

[Deleted member 77198]

Can’t wait for this, proper excited!

 

[paulchapo]

Well Grealish and Mahrez together usually stinks the place out. Absolutely baffling to be honest.
I'll give it until the end of the 1st half before we send out the cavalirey.

They both slow our game down and our front press suffers. This could prove costly against an aggressive Leeds.

 

[tommybooth]

See this being a bit of back three with super Jack getting two pens with some of his mazy runs. Then i woke up.

 

[blueparrot]

I worry about everything when those two play together but up the blues

We haven’t lost when Grealish has played have we? So not sure why you’d worry.

 

[itsnevereasy]

We will be fine, and if not we don’t deserve to win this league.

 

[chesterbells]

Best performance I can remember Grealish having for us was in the big home win vs Leeds last year.
Let’s hope he takes the same approach today; being direct and taking players on, heading towards goal.

 

[Eric Hitchmough]

Foden appears to have really pissed him off.

Yep was just thinking the same mate

 

[KearsleyBlue]

Oh I didn’t know that I’ll have to have an explore. Thanks.

Its bliss!

 

[01cravend]

Thought Palmer was good enough vs Liverpool to have earned a start tonight...

 

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

Forgot how much of a bellend the Leeds manager was.
