Ridiculous pricing that for a Thursday night game in January.

Yep. And it’s on Sky.

I think if we lose this one its looking a bit grim. I think the players will lose hope of the PL and put everything into the CL.

and the FA Cup.

Spurs and Wolves looked totally wank in their last games before coming to the Etihad.
Time for 6 pts and getting back on track

What gone wrong with Erling he was scoring for fun before the world cup, scoring every week hatricks, 2 goals a game, the lot.
Whats happened since

it would help if some of our players passed the ball to him.

Anybody else fired up by seeing big John and Rúben back in harness? They won't be playing on Thursday evening, mind. But it's just so good to see them.

With Conte’s press conference earlier today, do I detect him building a siege mentality…..just like Fergie used to do.
Fast start should see to that…..C’mon City !

John might feature, he wasn't injured and only missed out Saturday due to a lack of training after "niggles" made him miss the Southampton debacle.
Expect to see Laporte back too which should help our playing out from the back rather than midfielders having to drop deep for the ball.

I wouldn’t rule Stones out.

He scored in the first games back too, but then was rested bizarrely. He needs to play every game, he’s young, fit and has had a nice season break, he doesn’t need resting.
