Pep Guardiola has moved tomorrow's training session from 10:30am to 4pm to give international players extra recovery time. [Daily Mail]
 
How's times have changed.

It's their biggest match of the season.
 
Well here we go Blues!
First Pep / Maureen Derby
I'm excited and can't wait
So many questions on how it will play out!

Win lose or draw, it doesn't mean a thing in the long run.....

BULL SHIT

IT MEANS A TON!

LETS GO BLUE BOYS! and run the red lot off the pitch!
The first 10 minutes will be intense and I'll
be watching Fern vs the red midfield
Let's press and execute Peps plan to perfection boys!

Is it the derby this weekend?

I only ask as I haven't heard Clayton Blackmore, Ashley Grimes, Russel Beardsmore, et al telling the world how great un*t*d are and how shit City are yet. They're cutting it a bit fine this year if you ask me.

Clayton Blackmore was on to this morning. You'll be shocked to learn he thinks United will win. If Dwight Yorke is included in 'et al', he was in the Daily Star saying United rinsed us in the summer transfer dealings.

I don't buy the Daily Star, I confess to falling for click bait on Apple feed.

The only team getting rinsed is the one who spent over £100 million on a player they released for fuck all. Bwahahaha
 
All I've seen of SSN today is Ibrahimovic, Jaap Stam and other United stuff in the build up of the Manchester derby (approx. 10mins worth) balanced out by about 15 seconds of news that Ota and Zaba are back training tomorrow due to Argentina. Wouldn't know there were 2 teams in the Manchester derby fs. When is CityTV gonna have their own broadcast channel so I don't have to watch this shite?
 
Just had a chat with my gfs friend who's Irish and pissed I asked her if she's a rag or a blue and she's went all defensive saying are you mad? I'm red! She then started saying "you pussies will roll over and act like girls when any contact is made" To which I said what you mean when A&E assaults us all match?!
Totally slated her and the fact she's a tourist then left the convo! Then started singing in the background "this city is ours"! I'm drunk and thought it was funny but it just proves the facts, never been near the swamp and is a plastic glory hunter! Argh!! Come on you blue boys!

No, I'm not, Silva is in the false 9 role and De Bruyne the most advanced of the midfield 3.

Is the left wing wide open? I think I am missing something... Can you effectively play a false 9 in the same lineup as a true 9 (Aguero). Or do you have Aguero coming in from the left a la Villa and Henry?

Phew, thank the Lord for that. I thought I'd slipped into some sort of parallel universe for a while. So glad that normal service has resumed. I look forward to being told the unbiased opinions of Colin Gibson regarding the weekend's game from tomorrow's Sun/Star/Mirror.

(and Yes, Dwight Yorke is a fully paid up member of the group that I refer to as "et al")

Latter, which is where he spent a lot of time in 11/12 and during his Atletico days. Although with Silva in the middle role, it would be closer to a Milan 4-3-1-2 at times.

Interesting. I like it. Who knows what Pep will do...Its exciting that we have so many potential options ahead of us.
 
I think if we play a midfielder as a striker is has to be either Sterling or Nolito. Personally I'd go with sterling and put Gundogan in to the side. A front 6 like this.

Gundogan. Dinho.

Silva

Kdb. Nolito

Sterling/Nacho

To be honest I'd much prefer Nacho starting instead of Sterling, Raheems been in great form but just for this game I think it suits us more to have that extra man in the middle of the park.
