City are bigger than that way of thinking these days. Beating rags is not our goal, winning the CL is. KDB will be fine. If we were in a title race he’d play, but since we are not, just let him put his feet up until Madrid.

Beating rags should ALWAYS be our goal. When that changes I will just turn my focus to my hometown and support Philadelphia Union. Don't think I should ever worry about that. CTID 1-3 BLUES.

Yep. Nice bit of trivia. Last City player to score a hat trick at the swamp was Irish,who was he?

Not going to google it , must be before 1965 , Johnny Crossan ? Or its a trick question :)

I doubt if Johnny Crossan ever played for City at the swamp, let alone score a gat trick, as most of his matches for City were in Division Two?

Your right ,was hoping he scored a hat trick at the Swamp for the reseves in the old Central League ,but i was six at the time and he was my first blue hero , so thought i would give him a punt , still no idea who it is though

it doesn’t look good for Kev so I believe Pep’s going to go with the false 9 formation here including Foden.

 

[MCFC1993]

-------------------------Ederson
Walker---Otamendi---Fernandinho---Zinchenko
----------------Gundogan----Rodri
------------------------De Bruyne
Bernardo---------------Aguero---------------Sterling

Think it'll be something like that, maybe replace Bernardo with Mahrez.

Maybe replace KDB with Foden, rest Kev for Real Madrid.

I think whoever starts here will be starting against Real Madrid.
