[The Black Shed]

Has anybody picked up on the fact that City have just lost four away games in a row? Yes it's shit, but I'll only spit out my dummy when fortress Etihad gets breached.

City 3-2 Spurs

Hopefully everyone stays fit/gets fit:

Ederson
Akanji
Stones
Dias
Gvardiol
Gundogan
De Bruyne
Bernardo Silva
Savinho
Grealish
Haaland

Did Spurs just lose against Ipswich?

And Palace two weeks ago. Pep will find a solution.

Lewis needs a spell out of the team though.

Yes to the back four but I wouldnt have Gundo anywhere near the team at present...has to be kovacic even

KDB looks no where near to starting a game either

Grealish - will he be fit? - something has gone badly wrong with him....last season he was poor and Pep seemed to trust him less...this season completely out of the team and mysteriously injured.....

If Doku is fit he should start

Time for the likes of Grealish, Foden and Gundogan to step up and show there worth.

Foden has had a terrible season so far, he rightly took the plaudits last season, he was magnificent but those standards he set have dropped off the cliff, get back to that level Foden if you want to be classed as an elite player.

Grealish poor last season, missed the euros but came back firing after the summer but again has picked up injuries and lost momentum , time to get back on your game Jack.

Gundo got his wish and came back home, so far a disastrous situation, but he still should be contributing more that we have seen despite his age and the fact he is way past his peak.

KDB and Walker the end is nearly here but come on boys, one last push, one more title, leave as greats, leave with the crowd wanting more.

If we can get people back fit:

———-——-Ederson—————
—Akanji-Stones-Dias-Ake—
—-Kovacic or Gundogan—-
Savinho—Bernardo-Foden-Grealish
——————Haaland————-

Toss up for me on Kovacic or Gundogan. Kovacic has been better but Gundogan is more adept at getting on the ball deep. Either will be fine if they have Stones stepping in alongside them so they don‘t have huge spaces to cover.

Feels like the most important thing is to get back to some kind of solid structure across the back. If we line up with Gvardiol wide at left back, Lewis as the right back/false no. 8, and Kovacic or Gundogan alone at the base of the midfield, I‘ll worry.

Kev surely could have two weeks of intense fitness work though? Gundo could just sit and not have to run too much though mate but i get the Kova shout as well.

I'm cheesed off just like the rest of us at the recent slump. We started the season well and it looked like business as usual. We played Brentford and since then haven't looked completely right, despite some decent results. Anyway, onto the Spurs game and the winter slog starts here for me. The lineup could be anyone's guess as it currently stands, but we need to halt this run of form immediately with a result more than a performance.
