Sheffield United (A) | Pre-Match Thread

(From MEN article)
Man City are hoping to return to winning ways in the Premier League...

I've seen this phrase millions of times this season.

 

[Franny's toilet roll]

The constant slagging of one of our players is frankly fucking pathetic. Also to suggest we have no chance of winning a game with Gundogan in the team is utter bollocks

Gundog slows play down and he ain't a goal machine. We struggle when he starts , bring him on when the game his won and he's ok to see the game out . Bring him on if we're behind to inject some urgency into the game and it ain't gonna happen

Sheffield United Man City
22% Possession 78%
2 Attempts 44
1 On Target 28
0 Corners 14


Sheffield United 1-0 Man City.

Probably go something like this.

I think Pep will set us up to match them 352

Ederson
Cancelo
Walker
Dino
Otamendi
Zinchenco
Rodri
Gundo
KDB
Sterling
Aguero

Yikes! No :(

 

[Ric]

A few journos reporting that Laporte could be in the squad tonight.

Journalists tweeting that Laporte, Zinchenko, and Garcia all with the squad tonight

Also from Sam Lee: "No sign of Mendy, Angelino, Stones or David Silva but it was dark and my eyes aren’t what they used to be"

 

[Dax777]

Ederson
Garcia, Rodri, Fernandinho
Walker, De Bruyne, Foden, Zinchenko
Mahrez, Aguero, Jesus

3-4-3/3-5-2

Given that we have absolutely zero chance of winning the league, I hope Pep gives Garcia and Foden a lot more first team opportunities.

This is my favorite lineup so far.

 

[Don Karleone]

Too early for him to play, surely?

 

[Ric]

Too early for him to play, surely?

I’d be very surprised if he started.

Too early for him to play, surely?

15 mins off the bench tonight if the scoreline allows and a good 50-60 mins against Fulham maybe?
