No idea but saw training pics and Dias was in some action pics and looked ready. Hopefully he’s in.

Doku was pictured as well.

All logic suggests we will lose possibly heavily. But funny things happen in sport. NZ no-hopers go to Fortress India and blank them 3-0. India in disarray roll up at probably the last place on earth they want to play (Perth) missing their captain and 2 other key players and destroy the World Test Champions.

Also, I have heard that Bumrah has Manchester roots and can ping in crosses like his yorkers. Pep drafts him for the big game and ...

We are much shorter odds to win tomorrow than any of the teams who’ve beaten us recently were to win against us and it’s quite conceivable that we upset the current form book and get the 3 points.

If we do we’re only 5 points behind and with a full 6 months of the season left they’ve already got the “it’s happening again” feeling which nine times out of ten results in them imploding.

Even a draw plants big seeds of doubt in their minds. There’s a long way to go yet.

Did it say which match that was? I'd imagine that it would be in Pep's first season sometime.

Not sure on that mate.

Already resigned myself to a heavy embarrassing defeat but then again I’ve not been confident for the last month….

Just read that the ref is Chris Kavanagh, thought he was a dipper? The prem league really do want us to lose and lose badly don't they - gits. Any penalty shout we have will be nothing doing, meanwhile salad trips on a blade of grass straight pen. Grrrrr

Would have snapped your hand off for a 1-0 defeat straight after the game in midweek, for some reason the closer we get to KO the slightly more confident I get that we can go there and win…

If KDB isn't fit enough to play a role after 3 or 4 weeks sat on the bench serious questions need to be asked. If he can't make a contribution may it be time for him to move on in January? We are in bad need of a positive showing from him and hopefully this starts on Sunday. If not, sadly we may be witnessing the beginning of the end for Kev at City.

Moving him on might be extreme, but I would ask questions as to what he’s doing on the bench if he isn’t fit to come on. Stick someone else on the bench and let him get fit

 

[mike1923]

Can’t remember the last game we weren’t favourites.. anyone know?

Pressure off might suit us. Hopefully we can control the ball better than in recent games which could mitigate the counter attack

Come on City!

Awful by Kilman. Suicide.

I literally had to go google him after that last word, wondering what the fuck was going on.

Didn’t realise he was playing now…
