Let's twat them!

 

[Bellamy's Caddy]

We've been managing games brilliantly over the last few weeks. Taking the sting out of games and conserving energy and rotating players.

They will press us high up, especially in the early part of the game and look to hit us on the break.

A similar line-up as to when we won at Stamford Bridge would be my preference, as below, but given the form Mahrez is in I'd be reluctant not to start him... No idea what Pep will do, but our home record against them doesn't reflect the gulf in quality, so I really hope we can make this a convincing win.

Ederson
Cancelo
Stones
Dias
Zinchenko
Rodri
Gundogan
Silva
Foden
Sterling
De Bruyne

Three years ago City had the chance to win the league by beating this lot at home. 2-0 up at half time, Sterling had missed a sitter, and the NBC Sports commentator asked "are Manchester U****d being humiliated?" They were, and then they weren't, it ended 2-3. This time please do humiliate them, City. Score early and score often. A yellow card for Fernandes diving would be welcome, too.
Re. the title race, just watched "Chariots of Fire" again. There's that scene when Eric Liddell is about to turn on the speed to run away with the race and win the gold, his coach says "Ah, but his head's not back yet" and then Liddell puts his head back and goes into overdrive. That's what I want on Sunday, City, give it your best and leave the others in the dust.

That game was the best game Pogba has played for the rags.

I hate the red bastards. I always want us to hammer them. That is all I have to say on the matter.

Atkinson also had a blinder.

Just do what we did in the semi-final.

Don't press too high, put the onus on them to play out from the back, they lack zero technical ability in the backline.

They will try to press high themselves, but they are desperate to play counter attack and hit the spaces for Rashford.

Would expect Greenwood to play.

We just need to move the ball all the time and be careful with it, our chances will come.

Foden to start, even at the expense of a brilliant Mahrez, as we need someone to track back for Shaw.

Like a whippet chasing a walrus

 

[Akpowell]

1-0 will do nicely

 

[bornblueegg]

Just win, nothing else matters

1-0 will do nicely

Oh yeah that’ll be great for the nerves that
