This will be the team fitness permitting: Ederson, Walker, Cancelo, Dias, Laporte, Rodri, Gundogan, Mahrez, De Bruyne, Sterling, Jesus.

Not what I'd choose but what Pep will do

Great defence, but there's just not enough creativity in that side. Its needs energy so I'd take out Gundogan and FFS and put in Bernardo and Foden.

That’s second on my list ... my OCD likes to have my calendar in order and having “tentative” games every weekend in there at a generic Sat 3pm time slot doesn’t suit it ... the sooner the firm time slots take shape the better :)

But still international breaks are absolutely useless and I find it hard dealing with ...
 
I thought spuds were most definitely second best against West Brom and very fortunate indeed to win that match. What players we have got still standing after the internationals obviously makes a difference, but all things being equal I would be looking to win this match and win it comfortably. Play at our best and we will.

As would anyone who wants to see us have the best chance of winning the game.Pep on the other hand.......
 
Thread full of surrender monkeys again.
Cant stand these Cockney turds after 81 and their detestable narcissistic Potugese poseur of a manager.
Lamela and Lecelso are snidey, diving, cheating cunts as well.
I hope we stick it up them after their recent run of ridiculous fortune against us.
Control Son and Kane and they don't have much else apart from wonderboy crock Bale. I'd get Kyle to rough him and his glass ankles up a bit outside the area obviously. That should have their rabid followers choking on their jellied eels.
I fancy us to turn them over, they're not all that.

Pity you’re not available to play, KLF. This is the sort of passion needed to turn the “Cockney turds“ over.

Why is Mahrez hated but Bernardo isn‘t? Bernardo is offering nothing. He had 1 good season in 4? Mahrez at least can score which Bernardo doesn‘t. Yeah he Bernardo runs a lot but he is no threat right now - neither in creativity and neither in front of the goal. He plays too vertically.

Bernardo,bizarrely,isn't being given an opportunity to find consistency as Pep won't start him.When he does get chosen he's normally shoehorned into a line up that doesn't do him or the team any favours.Despite such.he still gives 100% every time he enters play and helps tremendously with the press.
Contrast that with Mahrez,who a been afforded too many chances,in his favoured position,and in all aspects.....he constantly fails to deliver.

Worldclass argument. As always.

I do understand where you are coming from. Mahrez is no workhorse or sometimes/ often slows up the game instead of keeping the pace - but when Bernardo was in a midfield with Gundo and Rodri you didn‘t see him either and he was supposed to be the creative element. First the reason was that he couldn‘t Play on De Bryune‘s position- which is his best position to many of us. And yet he couldn’t deliver when given the opportunity. I am not in the dressing room or neither am I in the coaching staff - but Pep probably has his reasons same when he dropped Sané.

First off, Mahrez isn't “hated”. He is criticised because he came here with high expectations which, by and large, he hasn't delivered on. Nobody in their right mind would say that he isn't a skilled footballer. That's not the issue. Second, Bernardo is not “offering nothing”. He offers 100% on the pitch, and even when he's off colour in terms of passing and shooting, he is moving, pressing the opposition, constantly showing for the ball and making little passes that keep City ticking over. Yes, he's played better. I'd still pick him over Mahrez nine times out of ten on current showing. Mahrez is getting more game time. Pep must have his reasons, which are not visible to me.

No argument to be had. You can’t even get the basic facts right, like claiming Bernardo has played for us for 4 seasons. Happy to post a gif of a rhino shitting because it’s a quick visual summary of your post, and doesn’t require me waste my time or energy typing out a response.

This is Bernardo's 4th season, he has played for City in 4 seasons, and what he said was "1 good season in 4".

He's not wrong at all, on that one. Bernardo was OK in 17/18, world class in 18/19 and has been AWOL ever since.

I think Pep's biggest problem right now, and one which will define our season is getting Bernardo back to 18/19 form in the middle of the pitch next to KDB.

So Bernardo has played 4 seasons for City? You genuinely believe that’s an accurate sentence?

I think if the best you can up with to dispute a guy's point is saying "UH no actually he's not played 4 seasons, he's played 3 seasons and 6 months" then you're struggling.

Mate 20/21 is Bernardo 4th season with City, he debut was in the 2017/18 season, but I agree he should get more game time, to recapture his form..
