I've heard exactly the same team as this.

looks like you’ve got a good source then ;)

12.30 kick off, WTF's that about ? Must be taking the piss, got us on Thursday and Friday night too, tossers !

I'm pretty sure he will do.

I just find it strange that we scored 6 against the rags with that front 3 and they have never started together since. I think Foden's best position is currently on the right but he rarely plays there.

I fancy us to turn up and play really well today, based on nothing but a gut feeling.
C'mon Cityyyyyy

If these believe the media hysteria about themselves then surely they will come at us, making for a good exciting game.
But I believe the Raggys will play like underdogs even at home and will be negative, trying to counter attack us, playing on the break.
A City win for me, with every player competing with a Pep rocket up their arses.
A win by 2 clear goals

Thanks for the positive vibes, just what I need for today after all these doom & gloom merchants…

So just the two changes from the home game?

Rodri in for Gundo & Mahrez in for Grealish?

 

[Woody135]

Surprised if its not this

Ederson
Lewis
Akanji
Laporte
Ake
Rodri
Bernardo
KDB
Grealish
Mahrez
Haaland

Rather put Ake in middle for Laporte and have Walker Cancelo and Foden for Grealish but think thats nostalgia rather than current form talking

Looks like I got my wish
Come on city

Not nervous about this . Which worries me, because whenever I'm nervous about a derby match , we usually play better than I expect and thrash them .
So the fact that I'm not nervous should make me nervous ; but I'm not.
Maybe I'm just resigned to us getting beat , so I don't see the point in getting nervous.
Which worries me . . .

This sounds like a monologue by Woody Allen

Comfortable City win today, the rags ain’t played anyone decent recently, I’m not buying the hype, they look better than they did earlier in the season but still nowhere near City .. Forget the Southampton result, all the players had their minds on today, which is more important…!

 

[If I die in the Kippax St]

This great run they’re on, last 6 games
Burnley
Forest
Wolves
Bournemouth
Everton
Charlton

Absolutely spot on. I think a city side firi

4-0 City. They can fuck right off and whilst doing so they can remember that Manchester is Blue.

great comment and my sentiments entirely
