Totally agree, whilst the Forest set up will be setting their stall out to block Erling, throw the curve ball and start Julian, bring Haaland on middle second half.

No thanks, I've got bets on

 

[OntarioBlue]

Ederson
Cancelo
Stones
Dias
Gomez
Rodri
De Bruyne
Gundogan
Bernardo Silva
Foden
Haaland

That’ll do for me (although I can see Alvarez starting instead of Foden)

i wonder if (hopefully) we can get ahead by a couple that Pep will bring Erling off and put Julian on?

Can't see him starting Gomez just yet, may be too early for a start as he is still getting used to the speed of the league but other than that I can see this team starting

If Giggs is found guilty today and we go a couple of goals up against Forest I take it we're all singing "your going down with Giggsy" all the way through the second half?

I think some have said we’ll set up to stop Haaland? The answer is no. The Cooper philosophy is to play our way and get the opposition adjust to us. Yes I know - your the Champions and good luck with that! You can expect that we will attack throughout the game, Press high with the ball and hit you on the counter when we can. Players will have specific instructions for certain players and situations but we won’t pick a team to park the bus.

As the old Maine Road terrace song used to go.....

"We hate Nottingham Forest
We hate Liverpool too.
We hate Man United
But City we love you".
(To the tune of Elgar's "Land of Hope and Glory") (Pomp and Circumstance March No.1 )

It went out of fashion as Forest dropped down the divisions, but now it becomes relevant again.
I'd love to hear it sung again, for old time's sake.

The song used to be preceded by "Altogether now....."
