Pre-Match Thoughts

This one's on Tuesday night so just two days in between now and the game but at least it's a home game and no travel required for the team. Alongside Burnley and Fulham, this one's got be another one of those home bankers if there is such a thing (on paper at least) ...

The ref is a new one for us, only got promoted to PL last season but this I think is his first ever game for us ... maybe that's why the heavy weights as 4th official and on VAR ...

The games come thick and fast now, not that they ever slowed at any point this season but at least there isn't another international break now for next few months ... three more games for us before Christmas (two in the league and one Carabao QF) and two more straight after that ... time to climb right up that table ... but for that we need to go win win win win win now, can't afford anymore draws ...

C'mon City!

Hope it gets called off.

Mahrez and Sterling will no doubt shine after abominable performances this evening.

Might give myself a night off if certain players start.

Game against shit team. Might just win. Thats our expertise these days

 

[Wretched Vengeance]

Needs a few changes and some fresh ideas and energy.

Whatever we are doing from an attacking perspective, it just isn't working. Burney at home aside.

Would like to see Laporte play, but doubt Pep will change an effective partnership.

Any good Christmas films on?

If Mahrez starts, I'm switching off.
