Match fitness apparently is what has been reported, same reason sancho isn't in their squad make no sense to me he played last week.

A little birdie told me that Sancho has gone under with the pressure of playing for them lot, which i find weird because he couldn't stop telling everyone he had come home.

They have the best home defence record in the league this season, they’ve played tougher fixtures than us but are only 4 points behind, we’ve struggled against teams that we’d generally expect to steam over.
There are loads of reasons to be gloomy about our prospects but what’s the point?
I’ve always loved the derbys, even back in the day when nothing was going our way they always presented an opportunity to turn over the old enemy and sometimes we did.

I’m keeping real about this but looking forward, with hope in my heart, to another opportunity to spoil their weekend.
If we play as we can do then surely we will, so it’s up to us - come on you Blues!

Good omen I hope. Working in Hale Barns and Giggs goes past walking his mutt looking in estate agents windows. Probably looking for a nice pad for his bit 9n the side.Anyhow next song on radio is Love will tear us apart.

I’ll be honest I’m bricking it.

Haven’t felt like this on derby day for 10 years.

Hopefully they are full of confidence and come at us.

A couple of goals on the break will slap them back to reality.

Come on City !!!!

 

[Stoned Rose]

I agree,except our left side has become something of an issue and weakness.....who does he play there?

Maybe a back 5?

Hopefully today is the day we hit our peak and go on a rampage until the end of the season, I feel like we’ve got something to prove especially after our last game, the sooner we click into gear the better! No nerves here for this Match
