Akanji Dias Stones Gvardiol apparently

Zero pace at LB is a massive worry.

One of the best City performances I remember in my 50+ years watching us. Arguably a better (given the stage) display than the sick swan. Though I'm guessing there might be a few (dozen) who'll disagree with me.

The 1-6, whilst great, did include a red card at 0-1 and three last-minute goals. Overall I put last year's semi-final second leg at the top of the tree. The second half was very good, but the first half was like nothing I've ever seen before or since. It was 45 minutes of football from another planet.

Cortouis and Kepa are out. He's their third choice keeper.

That’s surely good for us,knowing our luck he’ll have the game of his life tonight..

Don't like the negativity on here. We're the champions. Fck 'em. 2-0 City!

 

[super_city_si]

I think it'll be a draw. Thats fine.

 

[MCFC1993]

That's all 4 yellow card risks starting.

Needless to say I'd take 1-1 right now however this time I'm serious. I'd take only conceding 1.

Zero pace at LB is a massive worry.

Gvardiol is quicker than Ake though.

Ake ie great for us and his positioning and intelligence makes him a very good defender but he's not blessed with pace. I reckon Gvardiol is a little quicker.

Cortouis and Kepa are out. He's their third choice keeper.

i believe kepa’s fine, ancelotti prefers lunin.

 

[Deepest Blue]

Any word on our starting GK?
