Surprised there's no Kovacic but we need to win and need to score and probably need the extra width from Doku so happy with that.

Think so too, much prefer Doku off the bench. All his good games for City have been as an impact sub.

He'll do damage all game.

 

[Jonas.shaffer]

Really liked the control that kovacic and Rodri gave us in the past few weeks, big call leaving him out

We had 46% possession. That's not exactly 'control', is it? For our standards, at least.

He'll do damage all game.

Fingers crossed!!

 

[SWPISHOME]

He'll do damage all game.

Coufal certainty wouldn't want to hear that Doku is starting.

Not really. It is a slightly more attacking style using Doku to create the openings with Rodri sitting a little bit deeper with Phil or Bernardo a tad more central.

Calm down. It's City at home to win the League on the last day of the season. What could possibly go wrong ??

True pal, probably best to skip alcohol and go straight to the hard drugs

 

[ninjamonkey]

Been entirely relaxed about this, had complete trust in the side to do the business, that's lessened slightly upon hearing kovacic isn't playing. Mental decision to me, he's been vital, he would ensure we start well and then weve got the explosive doku from the bench if needed. This way around just seems backwards. Should still have more than enough to overwhelm them and win convincingly. No drama today, get it sewn up by halftime and let's have a party.
