Sad end to Sergio’s City career :( We keep our legends too long. I hate seeing them become unreliable.

 

[greasedupdeafguy]

Derby nerves kicking in now.

 

[paulchapo]

John had better concentrate

To be honest I'm more worried about Ederson. Teams have started to nullify what was a decent weapon of his footwork and passing so it's now down to him being a good keeper. He night pull off the odd great save but even bang average keepers are capable of that. For me he is still a bit soft on a few of the goals we concede.

 

[super_city_si]

Keep the ball, no rash tackles and clinical with our chances, that will be good enough.

Utd 0-2 City

Hahaha

 

[Rammy Blue]

If there was going to be a moan about a winger then starting Sterling against Wan Bissaka would be the one, and for once not Mahrez.

 

[abu13]

Dias has played very well on the left-surprisingly so.

Yep, and to think there were some doubts when it was clear we had gone in for him.

Class player.

 

[Beanhead]

Strange logic

sorry.. should have said soured “it”

 

[The Black Shed]

Clinical? Not a chance.

When I say clinical, what I actually mean is getting 10 out of the 20 chances on target and we might score one!

 

[kaz7]

Hopefully wear them down for 60 minutes then unleash Foden, Torres and Silva on them.

Just need to keep it tight and hope the front 3 keep composed and score when they get the chance rather than it taking us 8 attempts.

Prefer those three were starting , we have only one player pressing in gabby , it doesnt work when just one does it

 

[Paul1970]

No kun on the bench . Strange one

 

[@BluePhil8]

No idea how this one will go. We’ll need to take the many chances we create, however we are starting 2 of the most guiltiest squanderers in the squad in Sterling and Mahrez. I’ll scream if this pans out as one of the typical ‘create 15 guilt edge chances, score none, concede the first shot we face’ games.

 

[cookster]

Not much pace in that midfield pairing. Hopefully we keep the ball well.

 

[Don Karleone]

We know he has the talent, it’s just when he decides to display it. Time to step up and do it all the time, not just against Burnley.

I agree. Just think people should wait to see IF he has a bad game.

He's capable of ripping them a new one

 

[blue is best]

The game hasn’t even started and people are moaning. I am out of here

It’s how we roll! ;)

 

[stonerblue]

No Sergio, wtf is going on. Surely a twenty minute cameo midweek hasn't set him back again. Not even on the bench

you are one moaning fucker Fordy. Been at it all day. Have a joint ffs

 

[urban genie]

Meh, we should win but I feel a repeat of spurs could be coming up. For a derby I think berny and foden would have give us more passion to suceed and been better against what will be 6 at the back and counter attack from them.

we shall see but I don't see us walking this easily as much as I did this morning.


Still 2-1 us Come on City

 

[OntarioBlue]

Hopefully wear them down for 60 minutes then unleash Foden, Torres and Silva on them.

Just need to keep it tight and hope the front 3 keep composed and score when they get the chance rather than it taking us 8 attempts.

8 ? I’d be happy if we score in 8 attempts. Some games this season we’ve been up in the high teens.

We really need Sterling to find his scoring touch again and today would be the perfect time to do it.

 

[Ric]

Only real surprise is Fernandinho starting ahead of Gundogan, but I'm happy with the decision. Gives us a bit more aggression in midfield.

 

[Rammy Blue]

Why does Pep always turtle when it comes to the rags? What happened to City attacking and smashing them for 6? Their defence is shite we should be going for the throat not putting two defensive midfielders on.

Not at all. If it wasn’t Dinho it’d have been Gundo. Gives Kev a free role.

 

[SWP's back]

John had better concentrate better than Laporte did against Spurs

Fixed that for you.
