Silly post? You have a short memory.

There might be a reason City opted to go with Pep rather than bring you in

Whichever team it is if we match them with intensity & passion its a 4th cup final running for the blue juggernaut.

 

[Didsbury Dave]

I’ve seen

Trafford

Nunes Stones Ake Ait Nouri
Cherki Nico G Kov
Foden Haaland Mamoush

Hoping it’s a wind up

That would be a tactical change that I understand. Width from the full backs.

It was on facebook yesterday

Lol!

 

[Keepingthefaithsince1976]

CITY XI: Trafford, Nunes, Stones (C), Ake, Ait-Nouri, Nico, Kovacic, Reijnders, Cherki, Foden, Marmoush.

Subs: Donnarumma, Haaland, Doku, Guéhi, Bernardo, Savinho, O'Reilly, Khusanov, Lewis

Too many changes, very surprised to see kovacic start

 

[deano ou812]

Hmmm

 

[super_city_si]

Decent team. Will be rusty though.

 

[Digsy's Dinner]

Not even sure on the set-up? Where's the wingers?

 

[balotelli's back pocket]

So in possession will look something like this:

Trafford
Stones Ake
Nunes Nico Kova Ait-Nouri
Cherki Reijnders Foden
Marnoush

CITY XI: Trafford, Nunes, Stones (C), Ake, Ait-Nouri, Nico, Kovacic, Reijnders, Cherki, Foden, Marmoush.

Subs: Donnarumma, Haaland, Doku, Guéhi, Bernardo, Savinho, O'Reilly, Khusanov, Lewis

Fucking hell

 

[Utter bobbins]

Here we go Fanny wipes at the ready

 

[pudge]

Oof, absolutely fuck all about the midfield

Defence looks shaky too

Not many goals up front as well

Ah well, give it a go

 

[wattle]

Leverkusen all over again I fear

 

[Claytop]

That’ll settle any nerves….

 

[flook]

Good enough on paper, lets see what they're like on grass

 

[ThreesKompany]

CITY XI: Trafford, Nunes, Stones (C), Ake, Ait-Nouri, Nico, Kovacic, Reijnders, Cherki, Foden, Marmoush.

Subs: Donnarumma, Haaland, Doku, Guéhi, Bernardo, Savinho, O'Reilly, Khusanov, Lewis

Needed. Team looked tired Wednesday. Biggest thing is avoid injuries for run in. Hopefully, this group can create something.

 

[plattlanebenches]

Subs: Donnarumma, Haaland, Doku, Guéhi, Bernardo, Savinho, O'Reilly, Khusanov, Lewis

Didn’t expect to see stones start. Bit of a gamble.

Deary me...no need to rotate so much, a bunch of guys who have barely played together in a SF.
