Sure Pep won’t have enjoyed telling Bernie he wasn’t playing, as he said in the week now we‘ve got a fully fit squad then it’s not going to be easy picking the starting 11.

Surprised Foden and Bernie Aren't starting.
Big one for Mahrez he really hasn't delivered in a Derby yet. Foden would have worked his nuts of and indeed he won us the League Cup semi.

Equally big for Sterling on that basis

Wrong thread

Don't know if this is an omen, but just poured hot water into my cold tea mug which has just cracked.

I like the look of the team. Only change I would have made is Bernardo. Come on City!

The Champions...

 

[Asa's left peg]

I can't see them going through the middle of defence much with no CF and Father Ruben and King John the first of Barnsley, reunited!

Derby day. A friendly reminder. Money can buy you a bed but not sleep, money can buy you a clock but no time, money can buy you a book but not knowledge, money can buy you a position but not respect, money can buy you medicine but not good health, money can buy you blood but not life, money can buy you sex but not love, money can even buy you a football club but it won't make you Manchester United.

No, wasting your money on Lindlöf, Fred, Maguire and Pogba will.

We have a system where we retain posession and grind our opposition into the floor for 60 minutes, quite literally passing around them while they chase shadows. Imagine it will be the same today and then just as they get knackered we bring on Foden and Berny.

That scouse starter was enjoyable.

now come on city.

you see the scum, you never run.....

Read that as Bony then :)

Its more a case of Foden and Bernie arent.

I get it. But we have been on a insane run. Trust in pep I shall.

 

[doobyedoobye]

We are going to pulverize them

In a fair game we'll smash the bastards and they know.

GPC, Gill et al will be buffing up the brown envelopes.

 

[dronefromsector7G]

It’s not going to be an easy game.

 

[mosssideblue]

With both line ups revealed, which manager has more cause for concern?

 

[Vienna_70]

I’m amazed that Phil isn’t starting, given that he hasn’t done so in the last two.

 

[wolviedinho]

It’s a good lineup from city and my only concern is that we are picking players on reputation and not on form. The team developed into a machine over the last 3 months. We look to be going back to the lineup at the start of the season and it is a worry. Rodders will be exposed today unless Cancelo covers the middle.
