The biggest issue for me is Cancelo, he has been exceptional of late in the right back position and then dropping into midfield. However with the pace of the Rags I would be amazed if Pep doesn't start with Walker. So does he play Cancelo at left back? it is likely that the Rags will start with Dan James who we know is rapid and if we get caught out of position he will get in behind us.

The rags rely on Pace,
We are a better team with Cancelo at right back,
We are a weaker team against pace with Cancelo at rightback.

I’d forgotten all about that “tackle” from young on Sergio until I watched all or nothing again the other day. Not only was it a penalty but could have broken his leg and possibly ended his career! That being missed just shows how bent this game is!

Even ratface said it was a red card.
Then Sergio was booked for complaining!

I had a dream...

city 7-0 up at half time.
Eventually win 10-0 or 11-0.

would be nice

It's about time we gave these twats a fkin good hiding..

They are nowhere near our level and even if they do manage to get a result it will be viewed by all as a monumental upset..

That alone tells you all you need to know regarding where they stand..

The greatest football club in the world, perpetually in our shadow..


One thing is for sure, the rags will know if we click tomorrow they'll get fkin smashed..!

rags looked shattered at the end of the Palace game.

He will probably play at left back .

It was a truly unbelievable decision.

Pretty sure Cancelo will be fine. He's dealt with Son & Mane and played against them at OT in the cup.

Cancelo handled Adama well, and he can handle Rashford as well.

Moving Cancelo to the left, means you will get 70% of his quality instead of the 100% he offers on the right.

My thought was to match up Cancelo with AWB / James rather than Zinchenko, because of Cancelo’s speed, and have Walker in his RB position as a counterbalance to Rashford.
Cancelo works equally as well on the left, still moves up to do his thing in midfield so nothing lost in terms of quality there.
The difference is that when Cancelo plays LB, Pep puts Laporte in as left CB, to fill the space Cancelo leaves when he pushes up, and that breaks up the Stones / Dias partnership.

Naah.

it’s one of those ‘premonitions’ that occur every so often , and unless you wrote it down/told someone before, you’d never be able to say afterwards.

not had many which are football related.

I do remember seeing Blair (junior opposition) and Netanyahu ( gulf war I, spokesperson), and going ‘they’ll be their countries leaders’.

so, complete guff, but still, would be nice.

poetry you say... I’ll get back to you ;-)
