As erratic as he is Pogba is their only real link between defence and attack so Fernandinho pushed forward to hound him every time he gets it. Danilo getting forward to drag Martial back and maybe get in behind Shaw, they've conceded a few from that this season. Sterling ripped through them as striker last time, Jesus up there to link up with him.

1-1

The Rags flatter to deceive they have been poor all season , they havent put a good 90 minutes together yet and i dont see it happening on Sunday , Bournemouth played them off the park for 45 minutes and missed a hat full of chances , as have several other teams. If we are clinical in front of goal then this will be a derby game to remember , i have absolutely no fear of the result it will be like shooting fish in a barrel. The fact they will be 12 points behind also means the self proclaimed "biggest club in the world" title dreams are over in November.

Well, I'm glad you're not the manager.


So defensive and reactionary to their tactics.

Dropping the leagues top goalscorer and moving away from the midfield setup that has worked so well (Fern sitting, Merlin and Kev/Bernardo further forward) is quite frankly mental.

Must not get complacent. I know pep will not let them but sometimes it's a natural reaction in players to get cocky after a run of brilliant results

No!

Why am I not shocked to hear, that after playing some sublime football over the past two weeks and knocking in 12 goals, all the British media could be bothered to speak about tonight was the penalty we shouldn’t have had.

Anybody would think there was a derby coming up, where as a consequence of getting an “iffy one” tonight, we’ll have at least 3 stone wallers “quite rightly” turned down on Sunday.... Oh er wait....

 

[Mancityus]

We have to put out a very strong side

Ederson
Walker Stones Laporte Mendy
Fernandinho
B Silva D Silva
Sterling Aguero Sane

We are getting spoiled by results in last couple of games. It will be tougher than what some expect. I will take 5-0.

If we play to our usual high standards it could be a derby to remember.

Yes with that team you're probably right with going for a 1-1 but who the hell wants a score draw when we've just scored 12 goals in a matter of days. We're not exactly playing a title contender. Where's Sane, Sergio, Bernardo or Mahrez ?
