[blue b4 the moon]

Much louder than normal applause as we come out to warm up.....seems the crowd could be up for it today.

 

[doobyedoobye]

This is going to be a blinder of a game I reckon..

 

[lightning Rodri]

Come on City, come on Raz

 

[wattle]

He always puts in effort and never hides

So called fans on here don’t understand that if you are off form you natural movements and instincts fail to kick in and you look slow and sluggish. That’s all it is with him. He won’t regain any confidence sitting on the bench and getting 10 mins here and there. Hell okay cf today and will score at least two tap ins through cut backs - trust me :)

Come on City, come on Raz

Bloody hell….Who was that??

 

[MadchesterCity]

Disappointing to see Sterling not Torres

 

[Agueroooo9320]

Would like to see foden on the left wing and jack in the middle

 

[yankblue]

He literally wouldn't be getting picked if he wasn't putting in effort. I think people need to realise that.

Mahrez used to get the same stick. Nobody gets anywhere near a Pep team if they're not putting in a shift

 

[Gobshiight]

Big game for Sterling, Aké and Pep today. Hope the crowd gets behind them all

Also, have we got no defenders on the bench at all? Not familiar with the youth players

 

[MarsLlama]

Surprised to see him being there tbh

If either Stones or Laporte were fit he'd probably be at home, feels like he's sacrificing a lot for the good of the team, which I respect but I wouldn't blame him if he wasn't here
