You've been around long enough to know that beating the rags IS the be all and end all for many of us of a certain age.
I don't care what league / division / competition that City are playing in... beating the rags has always been the most important thing in football. Anything else is just a bonus
Rickets !!....like it ;)The first derby in a long time I'm actually dreading. We are so easy to play against at the moment I'd back any side to score at least once against us. Palace two, Feyenoord three, Spurs four, Juventus two. All pretty average sides in my opinion yet three of them beat us and if Palace had taken their chances so would they. On the other side of the coin we are struggling for goals ourselves.
Now the rags are a bang average side but Fernandez is better than anyone in our midfield atm given current form. Their pace on the counter attack will get behind us time after time. As for us every single player is underperforming and some are unrecognisable as the players that won everything. Walker, Gvardiol, Ederson, Gundogan have been atrocious. Bernardo is a shadow of his former self and Kev too. Foden is always ill with something or other, he's like a fucking deprived malnourished kid from Victorian England, he'll pick up rickets next.
If there's one game that could galvanise the whole club it's this one. Sadly I fear we'll all be moaning about the same old failings and licking our wounds again at the end.
I know things are bad at the moment, but fu*k me were not that bad:-)New manager bounce for them means this will be tough. Also, Amorim showed he has Guardiola's number in the CL recently when his team owned us.
Anyone at this moment in time would take Hojlund over Haaland, Martinez over Dias, Fernandes over KdB......and yes, Amorim over Guardiola.
Rashford will run riot against our defence and we have to hope they don't start Antony as he'll destroy us. Both would walk into our starting 11 right now.
Take 1-1 right now and move on.
Forgot about that. Shoot.Think Lewis suspended
