unprofessionalism..... hes called out mahrez, aguero ect in his time here and they seemed to do fine afterwards. hell be here next year and with a full fresh pre season not riddlesd with stop start injuries he will come good for us.

It's all about opinions and mine is we won't see him in a city first team squad again. Especially after seeing how the whole squad seems to be Together since he left. CTID

 

[Keeper!]

Doesn't sound too bad...

Started to move lol

does not sound good either, as long as he's still breathing we have a chance!

Can't believe this game hasn't sold out yet, just got a message from the Club asking if I want 2 more tickets as a season card holder. Funny how everyone kicking off about not getting Real tickets but these ones are still available

Could easily be swung the other way though.

Loyal fans who have been to multiple games this season miss out on Madrid due to no criteria are telling the club we're not paying £60 for West Ham after those shenanigans.

Hopefully he'll be back for Saturday - I'd keep him on the bench and give him 20 mins late on against Leeds, make sure he's 100% for Madrid

Slightly different quotes from Sky:

Nathan [Ake] trained with us yesterday which was good. Kevin [De Bruyne] didn't train with us yet but will train with us later today. Training is at 4pm but I think Nathan is good."

Eddy.

Walker.Stones.Akanji.Eric.

Philips. Rodders.

Mahrez. Phil
Hoolihan.

Viking.

Gundog for Rodders 60m
Bernard for Viking 65m
Rico for Stones 70m
Then 3 CDs, 3 CMids,2 wingers and spider @ 9

Strong enough to win and give early rest to Rodders,Stones & Viking.
Full 90 for Eric,Phil and Phillips and room enough for another set of changes and rests against BFS.

Now the crowd must raise hell and carry the team on a wave of passion !!

The prospect of Nathan coming back offsets Kev's absence, for me. Bring Nate into that back line, and move John a bit forward to accompany whoever's next to him in holding midfield. The more I think about it, the more it makes sense. Then Rodri or Gundo can be rested, i.e. Gundo tomorrow, Rodri at the weekend.
That leaves them both relatively fresh for Madrid.
We should have enough to deal with West Ham.

Any thoughts on this? Bluff or looking at their euro semi final and other winnable PL games

 

[Jesus H Gabz]

Need as much pace & height in the team as possible, set pieces & counters are their main strengths, not a fan of resting anyone at this stage unless they’re carrying a knock that can be made worse. Would a negative result for Arsenal change the line up ? I’d say potentially
