[its a Barm]

Just fuckin win.

 

[Gareth Barry Conlon]

Bayindir starts for them. Hes dog shit. Cat shit even.

I genuinely couldn't have told you the name of the rags keeper.

I just got it off the Amorim pre match stuff from Sky.

 

[noseve]

This is my biggest fear. I desperately want him to start for his pace but fear a rash challenge and we could be down to 10 men very quickly

If he sends Fernandes into Block 309, it would almost be worth it :-)

 

[noseve]

Is Savinho fit?

For what?

 

[Marvin.]

Bayindir was always their likely starter but I am surprised that Amorim has made this known. Pep could alter his selection and tactics to target Bayindir

 

[bondsman]

Looks like Cunha, Mount and Dalot are out for them, and all three probably would've started, so that levels things up a bit on the injury front.

Glad Cunha is out.

 

[Stoned Rose]

Is Savinho fit?

Maybe after 7 Stella.

Hi everyone,

This is my first post on the forum, so apologies if it’s in the wrong place.

I’m coming over from Finland with my son for our very first Manchester derby this Sunday. I’ve actually been to the Etihad once before (back in 2013 when we beat Norwich 7–0) so I don’t think we’ll be bringing any bad luck this time either!

That 2013 visit was very short, but now we’ve got a bit more time (Sat morning to Mon evening) to enjoy both the match and the city. I’ve done a bit of research on the sights already, but any extra tips on football-related stuff or the city itself would be much appreciated, good pubs, “must-see” places, things we shouldn’t miss.

Our seats are in Block 303, so we’re looking forward to seeing the match from up there. We’re really excited and will be cheering loudly for a City win!

Pre-match The Claremont and Mary D’s.

Post match - Sandy’s Superstars.

Nunes khusanov Dias gvardiol
Rodri Bernardo
Foden

"Ok, lads - this week we're going to try to approach their goalkeeper..."

 

[sarcastico]

Haaland's first hat trick of the season. Taijini masterclass.

They get one back through Amad.

 

[chaddblue]

This has got draw written all over it

Not losing the game will be vital for both teams... especially us

My thoughts are Erling will get very few touches, we will play a more defensive game, Pep will not want to lose this one.

Nil nil

6 points lost already ,anything but a win is not good enough, it´s simple as that. Playing at home is a must win game against every team.

 

[paulchapo]

Cometh the hour, cometh the man.....lol.

 

[Paleblue2]

Christ on a bike, Phillips?? Must be more desperate than even I thought

 

[Fordyboy46]

Is Savinho fit?

50/50 i guess

 

[TheGhost]

Thanks a lot for the warm welcome and all the great tips! The bus info is really useful, and we’ll definitely try to see some of those places while we’re in Manchester. Fingers crossed we bring City good luck on Sunday.

Have a look at this thread for advice on trips to the Etihad/Manchester.

That 7-0 Norwich match was my daughter’s first match. She now goes home and away with me most weeks.

 

[TheGhost]

Is Savinho fit?

If he is I’d play him on the left and Bobb on the right
