Give your heads a wobble. Some posts on here. Pep overthinks etc. this team is an amazing team and we will go to OT with an outstanding chance of winning. Pep gets it right most of the time, he is a living legend. We’re second in the league and we’re are the champions and bloody good ones at that. Enough said

What a hysterical and asinine comment! Are you a Berkeley trained feminist by any chance?

You write the words but know not what you’re saying.
If it were asinine and hysterical then you‘d be thanking me for the comedy (you do know what asinine and hysterical mean don’t you?) but it wasn’t and what you were trying to do was defend cheap slurs aimed at our players where reasoned criticism could have been used.

And me, a “Berkeley trained feminist”? Awe, come on man, do you have to parade your misogyny at every opportunity?

Come on City, someone is due a good battering.

The issue is attacking left for me - not fodens best position

His best position is in the stands at the moment.

We might be better off playing Alvarez down the left and tell him to press like fuck.

Can it really be possible that the rags start this game as favourites? There'll be a whole generation of supporters who have never seen this in their lifetime. Tell me it's a bad dream.

You're only as good as your last match though, as the old cliché has it....

If we see no reaction here, which I personally think we will then I think Pep might consider his future.
This isn't the City we know of late, wtf has happened I don't know but the style of football bar a good 20 or 30 minutes here and there is absolute garbage.
This new coaching set up we have may be the problem, has Pep lost his best members of staff over the years?
Just fucking play the best 11 on Saturday and in their right fucking positions, it really shouldn't be that difficult

Ederson, Lewis, Stones, Akanji, Ake, Rodri, De Bruyne, Bernardo, Mahrez, Foden, Haaland

 

[waspish]

Yep a lot of players seem to be having a slump in form including our manager

Maybe a derby game is just the right game to be having right now

Ake has to be LB with walker or Lewis on the right

The issue is attacking left for me - not fodens best position

I'm stumped

It’s the World Cup it’s fucked us up seeing we had more players there than any other team and why pep keep changing the line up! He will get it right

I don't know if Stones will be fit, but this is roughly the team that most people seem to want.

Not according to the bookies. City are 10/11.

I remember in 2003, we lost to lower league Wigan in the league Cup. A shocking performance. Next up was the last Derby at Maine Rd, nobody gave us a chance. Tell me, how did that one pan out ? I genuinely think the whole club(not just the team) have had more than one eye on Saturday and last night almost became an irrelevance. If we play to our strengths and our best 11 then we'll smash these vile horrible bastards!!! C'MON CITY !!!!!
