Hope sterling scores an hatrick and never stops running for 95mins that will piss of Moaninho really bad :))

Would be great to see us go through them like a dose of salts, but I fear that they’ll shut up shop as most teams do, for fear of being humiliated.
Keep it tight at the back and dominate the midfield and we will win this.
2-1 City

Stay undefeated all we like in the league but keep dropping points with draws and we’re soon out of the title race. 2 of the players you mention are very much past their peaks.Yes we’ve got the potential to get it together again now the defence finally looks sorted and with the likes of Torres and Foden who could improve more and more as the season goes on. Hard to argue with someone not connected with club however looking at us over the last 18 months and surmising we’ve declined quite significantly.

Im a believer in the idea that a sound defence gives the attack confidence, they dont feel that, if we don't score it is a disaster. They take their time, relax and score! So i expect improvements in our attack as the new found defensive solidity becomes apparent.

This match should be good indicator of where we are at the moment. First season under Pep we struggled to beat other top 6 clubs, no such issues 17/18 & 18/19 but an issue again last season. The results against Leicester and Liverpool suggest it may be a problem this season.

Spurs away could give us a good idea how this season will pan out. Last season our results against Spurs were ridiculous. Much much better than them twice yet we drew and lost. Spurs seem to have improved since while we’ve lost a bit of our spark. Hopefully Pep keeps up his great record against Mourinho this weekend.

Glad to see that Martinez didn’t flog KDB to death in a meaningless game. 87th minute goal when he should have been having a well earned rest.

Martinez is a piece of shit. KDB will play every minute of every game under this wanker..... until Kev tells him to "fuck off, I'm retired to concentrate on, (and therefore extend) my proper career with the club that pays my wages" (imho)

I wouldn't have picked Raz, honestly, but now I definitely want to see him in that team tomorrow, running around chirpily and sticking a couple in the back of the net.

Second thoughts edit: rhankfully, Pep has a cooler head than me. He'll pick or not pick Raz not because of what some no mark said, but purely on merit and fitness.

The results against Leicester and Liverpool suggest it may be a problem this season.

Of the two sides' chances, Gaby's was the clearest, by some distance. That's not even taking account of the penalty. Just saying.

 

[Akpowell]

I hope Son doesn't play tomorrow he's the one I fear most

Wonder what the stitch up will be , kane diving and getting a pen , their offside goal, us disallowed or everything ?
The first is a given
