[Plays By Sense Of Smell]

Momentum is very important in football. Jesus has scored 3 goals in his last 2 starts and Mahrez has contributed 2 goals and several assists since Everton. At least one of them will start, maybe both.

Rodri, Gundogan and Bernardo will start. Bernardo has started in 14 of the last 15 league wins and missed only West Ham which was our most difficult game. He is currently more important than Kevin for he brings more stability and glues the team better. Think that Sterling will start too. Apparently, Pep rates him quite highly.

So, it's between Kevin, Foden, Jesus and Mahrez for 2 places in attack. Kevin will probably start on the bench. Foden was rested and the plan was to start him. But the momentum is with Gabby and Mahrez. Tough call that.

It is a tough call. I'd go with Mahrez (in form, links uo well with Bernie.) And Jesus.
They would tire rag legs out as per our current approach.
Phil is a high impact player anyway, and I would probably look to put him on second half for 20 mins regardless just in case they are being stubborn.
Others are all just in case swaps fir any imjuries/poor performers.

Or could go other way round - phil starts with gaby, sterling on right.
Mahrez comes on for either one if legs tire and where his eye for far corner can have more space to exploit.

0-1 scum and it will be a dodgy penalty.

There is no way, in the wildest of imaginations, that we could possibly lose this match.
(Not even with 9 men...)

Actually I don't like our new back 4. I want to see Cancelo at RB and Zinchenko at LB. I think we are more solid with them.

Ederson
Cancelo Stones Dias Zinchenko
Rodri
Bernardo Gundogan
Mahrez KDB Foden

Gonna be a tough game. 3-1 city

Yep, rags are a team of chasers, they'll be on top of us from the word go, kicking lumps out of us, we can't afford to have one footed Walker dithering on the ball.

That’s the spirit

Let’s drive the final nail right into these red bastards coffin. Let’s also hope we smash them all over the Etihad and Neville and Tyler are on comms. A dirge of commentary that sounds more and more desolate every time we put the ball into their net.
Go for blood. Come on City!!!

One footed dithering Walker? Fucking hell the same one footed dithering Walker that has been one of our most consistent performers under Pep, that was a regular in the 198 points in 2 seasons, that won a domestic treble/quadruple, as shit and disrespectful posts go yours is top of the league, no dithering about that

These abhorrent pricks are long overdue a crushing, merciless, Blue-coloured twatting.
