Stones and Dias will be fine.
However Pep has just confirmed Dias will be out for 4-6 weeks :)))))))))

Fucking hell, that's a big blow.

Not fussed with no Dias , I think he’s in a bad run of form personally, obviously would of been good to have him fit and in the squad still . Stones and Laporte would of got the nod from me anyway

edit : just seen 4-6 weeks . That’s not good at all going into the run in

: Ruben Dias and Nathan Ake are ruled out for #ManCity vs Manchester United, confirms Pep Guardiola.

: Ruben Dias has been ruled out for four to six weeks with a hamstring injury, confirms Pep Guardiola

Pep Guardiola: "You start to see and realise what they do. So aggressive upfront, they are intense, deep runners. They have qualities. You cannot say upfront they are not good, deep runners, maybe the best after Liverpool and Chelsea. We have to control it.

Pep Guardiola: "It's a derby for our fans, we try to win the derby that helps us to win the #PL. Nothing changes. We know how good our opponent. You have to win most of your games. It's not for the pleasure to win, win this game, previous seasons we lost..." [via

Looking forward to us tearing the rags a new arsehole on Sunday, West ham turn up against the scousers and it might end up to be a super day all round.

Pep says we will defend deeper and play on the counter.
Can it be true?

Prob won’t mean we will play like Burnley but I think it’s smart to nullify their biggest threat.

Awful news re Dias prob miss quarters of champs league as well

Fucking hell, that's a big blow.

Massive.
But just looked at our fixtures and forgot we have an international break at the end of the month so he could possibly only miss 4 games.

4-0
Zinchenko, Foden and then Palmer and McAtee off the bench.

I can dream!

Hoping to buy a fucking humongous Ukraine flag on the way in, 4-0 city, hat trick for Zinch, slabhead overhead kick OG, and Fernandes and their pensioner both sent off for dissent in added time.

Is this really too much to ask for?

 

[Stoned Rose]

These are due a serious bumming from us.

God wills it.
