Is Nkunku not even in the squad?

I rate him and Olmo.

Reinjured himself

Laughable, isn't it? The lengths UEFA go to, to protect their brand. Forcing Red Bull Leipzig to rename themselves RB Leipzig. Or forcing the likes of us to alter the official name of the stadium.

Boooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!

Oh i forgot to add, you ain't a city fan.

Never in a month of sundays.

You're an Erik 7 Rag.

I’m just glad I can write this match off since we have an important cup match on Saturday. Feel much better looking through than lens.

Don't see the problem with the back 4. Normally I'd say play walker at right back but surely it's clear how poor he has been this season. Stones may not have the legs to get up and down but he is better defensively. The other 3 at the back therefore pick themselves.
The midfield is about experience
..kdb has been off form but in big games he usually still has enough to turn it on. Rodri has to start...so the choice is either bernardo or gundo in midfield....he's gone for gundo for control but he has bernardo further forward where he is a goal threat.
Haaland is obvious.
The only other choice therefore is Grealish or Foden. Personally I think foden has been playing better from the right. I'm not Grealish's biggest fan by any stretch but he has earned his place at present....he does need to step up and add goals and assists but Pep is concerned, rightly do about transitions and he needs possession

Steady on Simon that sort of an attempt to logically breakdown Pep’s selection and thought process will confuse a lot of people:)

The last German team to beat City at home...... Bayern under Pep. Apparently anway

 

[Xhavenjoe]

4 CB’s at the back

Wonder he didn't stick Laporte in goals and show a full hand.
