I think he might be there to keep McTominay in check and deliver retribution where necessary.

I'd give him a dig first chance.

What time does the diver go down screaming after no contact for the pen/s ?

 

[Cornish_Blue]

Mahrez will rinse their back 4.

He couldn’t rinse out a bowl, never mind their back 4.
Let’s see if he proves me wrong. Fingers crossed that he has a worldie.

Thats why i think we needed the unpredictability of Foden or Torres.

Agree. I would have done probably done the same. I really hope Sterling or Mahrez step up today as I have little faith in those two in the most pressured of situations. Would love either or both of them to prove me wrong.

They are playing a 442 diamond but it's really a 712. They will defend until Pogba can get the ball to Fernandes and hope he can counter with the 2 forwards.

I think Walker will be important.

Walker is always important to our results,if he has a poor game its usual we struggle.

 

[domalino]

Said this in midweek. he's never gone past him down the line. Only hope Sterling plays inside or even on the right

Has Sterling ever gone past anyone down the line on the left?

Inverted wingers don't do that because it means crossing on your weak foot.

When you play inverted wingers the fullback has to go down the line which is why I'm a bit disappointed its Cancelo.

How a yearn for a NDJ..

fingers crossed Mahrez can surprise everyone and have three good games in a row. 3 -1 City. Comon you blues.

 

[super_city_si]

Hopefully Mahrez turns up

Mahrez AND sterling. We need both to show up.

I have a feeling that for the end of the season they will both become fixtures in the starting 11.

Torres in particular seems to have that knack of being in the right place to get a goal.

 

[PhdWave]

Its probably just because of the injury gundogan picked up midweek IMO.

Yeah we are gonna play with Cancelo in a mid like position and Walker tucked back with stones and Dias..

Taking the easy way out. Not watching it. Watching it afterwards if we win. Watching City on the TV this season and not being at the matches drives me mad. I would be there tonight under normal circumstances. I can just about get through a normal PL game. But the derby is different. If we're getting beat I'll probably do something silly to my TV. I'll know if we've won or not after full time as BM will either be up still or will have crashed. Enjoy the game people.

Gash is an understatement. There’s more holes than a sieve.

Paresse is still a class act though

 

[kippax4ever]

Hopefully Mahrez turns up

He did seen him getting off the coach

 

[FantasyIreland]

Really looking forward to being proved wrong, but the front three

Yep,i'm not confident in their big game mentality.They usually both go into hiding,when we need them to inspire and lead from the front.

Hoping today they both prove me very badly wrong.

They both really need to show up and prove that they deserve their places.

 

[Blue Til Death]

We won’t get the steam off the refs shit today and they are guaranteed at least one pen...
That’s the bad news, the good news is, I still think we will tonk the shower of shite we are playing today ...!

He seems pretty weary of going by most players these days.
Just likes to roll the ball backwards and sidewards for others to take responsibility.
He certainly doesn't seem to have the confidence in his play as he had when Arteta was working with him.

 

[Churchlawtonblue]

Gutted Foden isnt in the starting line up again.
