Ederson
Khusanov
Dias
Ake
Gvardiol
Gonzalez
Stones
Marmoush
Savio
Doku
Haaland

This lineup isn’t great, mate. What do you think, who’s actually going to feed the balls to the attackers? You need at least one proper playmaker in the middle, someone like KDB instead of Doku, to get things going.

The front 4 pics it’s self. Nico has to start, Ederson, Stones and Gvardiol pick themselves, so who partners Stones? Hopefully Dias.

I would be most confident with

Ederson

Gvardiol he has all the tools to be RB.
Dias
Stones
Ake

Nico
Bernardo

Foden

Marmoush
Haaland
Savinho.

 

[ninjamonkey]

3 changes from today's team for me, Rico to be replaced by Dias if fit, or ake. Again, If fit. Gundogan and foden to drop out for bernardo and kovacic.

Dominate the midfield and feed marmoush, savinho and haaland like today. If we can get ourselves into a good situation we've got kdb, foden and doku to freshen up the attack or add more threat late on.

Is Ake not injured?

 

[DenisLawBackHeel74]

It’s a must win game…

2-4 City !

 

[schfc6]

Is Ake not injured?

I’ve not heard, I guess he may be. I don’t want to pick at right back in that case.

I’d be happy seeing that 11 starting

I wasn’t sure if he was either

 

[Dodge]

Just back, Now packing my bag for Madrid come on city

See you there mate.

Having a few scoops in Alicante before getting the 4pm train to Madrid.

I'll give you a bell r kid

I’m in Alicante Tuesday then train Madrid Tuesday tea time

We fly Tuesday as well mate, land at 10:10 from Birmingham. I can feel a plan coming together...

Meeting a couple of mates, they land at 10am from Manc, are you on that flight?

 

[Sibierskii]

These cunts wont know whats hit them.

 

[samuelyeboah]

bipolar team so its hard to know what we're gonna get. another performance like today's gets us through

[falcon117]

I think top four is more important this year for city than champion league .Hope haaland is ok

 

[Millwallawayveteran1988]

Might as well just go for it. Nothing to lose.

 

[TinFoilHat]

As we've got the dippers after.

I fully expect a blood and thunder 2-1 win after 90 mins and losing the fucker on pens. Because that's what City do best.

Agree with that.

We'd be too open with Foden or KDB plus Savinho, Marmoush and Haaland. We better have another body in CM, so Kova for Foden. Guess Kova may look way better alongside Nico.

I think your wrong we need to bypass the middle but not concede hit them with the pace just go for it early nothing to lose.can always bring a playmaker on later.

 

[supercity88]

Our turn to be laughing come the end. Two late goals to stun those bastards.

 

[Paul1970]

Go direct and let our forwards run af them and we might have a chance but if we try and out pass and walk it into the net we get beat .

Shit or bust, imagine doing them in their own back yard?

Can see Pep going slightly more cautious to start with, but I think it would be best to put them on the back foot from the start.
