The truth is their defense sucks and Onana is error prone. Shoot on sight.

Our problem is we don’t shoot even when have a clear sight of goal, we pass, pass and pass again and again, sideways always sideways.

No matter what, no matter how poorly we're playing, I will always believe from the bottom of my heart that we will rise to the occasion and batter these cunts

They have a full squad whilst we are still ravaged with injuries. Cant use my limited energy to be bothered about this game

Thats the spirit

In Pep (& the team) I trust.

Onana is error prone. Shoot on sight.

I know its the rags but that's a little extreme.

We've been tweaking starting line up, due to x2 games per week and players injured. Sadly we play more or less same, with same end result. Exemption being Forest, as they failed to convert big chances. Blue specs removed, realistically, Sunday will be no different. United likely to convert at least one chance, so we need to score at least twice. Doku, even with his frustrating low % final pass completion, KDB at 80%, a sometimes missing in action Foden and an often misfiring Haaland all probably still need to play as its these x4 combined that give us best options offensively of getting behind their defence and/or scoring the goals needed.
Behind them, if Akanji not fit, probably only Dias and Kovacic would be in most fans starting lineups. Have to move ball forward quicker with
less touches, less sideways & backward passes.

-----Ortega/Ederson
-----Dias-SP-Gvardiol
Nunes-Kovacic-Wright
Foden-----KDB-----Doku
-----------Haaland

Feels like we've spent the last 8 weeks or so away from the Etihad...apart from Forest, and erm Feyenoord.

We're having these cunts.

Let’s hope not. We need to take our chances.

I take it Akanji is confirmed out?
