CITY, please be the bearers of doom for the red filth today. Make them start to leave before half time.

We all know what the officiating will be like, so we cannot give them any chance to send us off.
Mctominay and Fred will be allowed to hack without punishment until 79th minute. If they get something from this game, it will be through our own ineptitude, nothing else.
We need kev shooting from outside the box, Gabby will close down slabhead at every chance.
A BACK 6/7 for Ushited.
You absolute bottle merchants.

it’s an excellent line up. Kev out of form playing up top is better because if he’s still not at it he won’t be so much of a hindrance. And when he’s further up the field he is closer to goal and regardless of his form he’s still a good finisher.

Yeah, agree. Exactly the team I wanted - except, like I say, possibly Zinchenko over Cancelo.

Let’s not be too complacent we’ll win nothing unless we work hard for at least the first 30 minutes. Close them down and press without the ball....murder them with it!

Come on blue boys !!!!

OK lets get the job done boys

Looks like they’re relying on an unforced error or a bit of individual brilliance. It’s effectively a 5-2-1-2 with two holding midfielders. I just pray we don’t make an early mistake.

I like the line up, prefer KDB upfront as he is losing lot of balls which would be punished with counters if he is losing them deeper.

Also Grealish would suffer imo vs Bissaka who has oen skill and that is tackling, and Grealish is pretty much a one trick pony from left side turning onto his right leg and cutting inside, which often is easy to defend for lesser teams too.

Preer Foden going up there.

3 at the back changes it a bit tho, we need more support from midfield to the front three and also we need to be more careful down the wings and help out especially with Foden/Jesus tracking back wih Bissaka/Shaw.

we lost 3 of the last 4 derbies in PL vs this joker manager Ole, time to do what Pool did to them recently imo but will take a scruffy 1-0 win too at this point.

Absolutely barmy must be somebody at the club who could sit on the bench.

Why is it a big deal unless you're going out of your way to look for things to whinge about?
It'll have no bearing on the game whatsoever.

How many assaults do the thugs like Bailly, Magliar and McTominay have to make today to get booked? Five? Six?

They will all do it early , olivar wont book them early on if at all
