Anyone full of confidence for tomorrow….

Never do mate but it makes victory all the sweeter.
Expect the worst always :-)
Turtles head yet to appear though

No John. No party. No confidence.

 

[Blu3m00n91]

No Dalot or Martial for the rags. Little bonus

 

[Manncity]

I’d play every player available who played in the 6-3.

Stones is a huge miss. Hopefully he's not out for long as he's been a rock recently. It probably means a back four of Walker, Akanji, Laporte and Ake although I wouldn't be surprised to see Cancelo at LB despite recent form. Hopefully Akanji steps up for it, he was brilliant in the home fixture.

What happens ahead of that is anyone's guess. I'm expecting Bernardo to be wide for more control in possession, with Haaland and Foden and Gundo, Rodri and De Bruyne being the midfield three.

As time goes on I'm getting more confident about our chances. That will end when I wake up tomorrow and am a bag of nerves though!

 

[Big Yaya Wilko 12]

No Stones is a big worry.

Added to that no Dias either.

No wonder we’ve been shaky at the back. Can’t see it getting better at the swamp.

I get what you mean but I'd play Rodri. He missed the 6:3.

 

[Inter Me Nan]

I’d play every player available who played in the 6-3.

I'd play anybody who can pass to a blue shirt.

Maybe the praise from the English media has got to Foden. The constant praise of being called a generational talent and Englands best talent would give anyone a bit of an ego.

He's been fucking rubbish since the WC. Needs to pull his socks up

 

[bellsouth]

No chance of a clean sheet here so the forwards better be on form, we may need to score 4
