He will have had best part of 3 weeks since the Madrid game, I think he will be starting on Sunday.

Maybe it is mental, but not a piss take no. :-D
Kev's quality, he could play anywhere, he could still hit quality passes playing a little deeper.
If he was back there, we could still have Rodri in front of him giving some security, alongside Bernardo and Gundo. We could still have any 3 of 6 upfront. It would be a quality lineup and one with better recovery pace for when Villa inevitably hit longballs over the top for Watkins, when Fern just wouldn't be able to keep up.
TBF I only half jokingly suggested Rodri at centre back and Eddie in midfield, so as off the wall ideas go yours isnt too bad.....still mental though
Ur last resort should be academy players, not makeshift midfielders who aren’t even the best players when it comes to their natural position let alone converting them to defenders. I don’t want to hear bullshit excuses "they are not ready" if not now when? Do they magically become ready when they are 27? Zinchenko providing to the attack lol? He’s slow and weak. Can he do anything Josh Wilson can’t? Ake was fit enough to be on the bench. Even if he could only play 20 mins and start that would be 100x better than ferna.So who the fuck should have come on for the defenders?? Do you not understand Laporte isn't fit, Fernandinho is a 37 year old midfielder, Walker Stones and Dias are injured and Ake isn't fit. Cancelo and Zinchenko are there for what they bring to the attack not necessarily the defence? It's the way we play and have done for years
My god, you are saying exactly the same thing as @Daz-Simp in the Villa game thread. People are even telling you to pack it in. Someone else expresses exactly the same opinion as yourself in this thread, that we don't have the bottle or the energy to win on Sunday, and you're accusing them of not being a City fan. You're a parody of yourself.
EDIT: Here's your quote from the other thread, before you go quietly deleting it and pretending you never said anything of the sort.
I am looking at a pic on my wall of the last time we had to win on the last day
Dave
Sergio
Vinny
Peak eric
Peak gundy in no pain
Peak ky
Peak kev in no pain
Etc
I dont think our current team had the body or mind to do the must win final game thing
Don't count out Kyle....
Haha !!!!!!
You are right but we also had an animal named Aguero who could score from anywhere in the box. That was our insurance for years - ur striker will get u a goal when u give them the chance. Our defense is making me scared nglIt's hard to forget a few years ago we had to win away at Brighton in the last game and we went 1-0 down first in that as well. That was a much bigger ask than this one.
The only worry I have is if they saw how West Ham defended and try to setup the same way. Gerrard doesn't have that defensive mindset in him though so we should get chances but we just need to make sure we score more than they do..
Liverpool still have to win both of their games too and they need to be very careful now as any big injury could cost them the Champions League. They've already possibly lost Salah and Van Dyk might not play this week. They'll try and do the least possible against Southampton, they only need to draw and that's it more or less done and dusted.

He injured himself even more against Madrid but Walker's commitment should never be doubted.
We've scored more goals this season than we did during the 18/19 season and we've got one more game to go.You are right but we also had an animal named Aguero who could score from anywhere in the box.

Need an early goal for sure, fans need to be on point, the rest is up to the players,I don't know man... Gerrard will set his team up for an upset to compensate for his slip. Probably start two ex LiVARpool players who will be hungry and the rest of them + fans will be hungry to screw Grealish over. They'll probably try to and get him as far away from a title as possible.

So just so I'm clear you're suggesting we start the penultimate game of the season away at a club needing points for european qualification and fielding the biggest beast in the premier league alongside one of the in-form players with a defence consisting of a half fit Laporte and either 3 academy players or two academy players and a half fit Ake?Ur last resort should be academy players, not makeshift midfielders who aren’t even the best players when it comes to their natural position let alone converting them to defenders. I don’t want to hear bullshit excuses "they are not ready" if not now when? Do they magically become ready when they are 27? Zinchenko providing to the attack lol? He’s slow and weak. Can he do anything Josh Wilson can’t? Ake was fit enough to be on the bench. Even if he could only play 20 mins and start that would be 100x better than ferna.
And that a half fit Ake (who I'm a big fan of by the way, think he's the best actual defender we have when fit) is 100 times better than Fernandinho?
I'm not even going to challenge your opinion on Zinchenko as obviously you don't believe he has a place at this club
