***Champs v Rags Official Match Thread***

[FA cup winners 2006]

Once Pep has planned for this with his best 11 (no Sterling) then I'm confident.

Current form is, just when I'm about to smash the telly and am raving incoherently at the missus - he scores or makes a goal!

[CTID Hants]

Your City XI to face United!

XI | Ederson, Walker, Stones, Laporte, Cancelo, Rodrigo, De Bruyne (C), Bernardo, Mahrez, Grealish, Foden

SUBS | Carson, Sterling, Gundogan, Jesus, Zinchenko, Fernandinho, Delap, Mbete, McAtee

[john@staustell]

That's about as good as it gets

[PeterParker]

Fuck me what a good line up!

Let's smash these cunts!!!

Perfect line up.

[Mase]

Can’t argue with that lineup.

Completely missed that. For fuck sake. At least Stones should be fresh. Need him back to last seasons form

[Dimples]

Great start, no overthinking from Pep.
Rags have set their stall out, counter attack smash and grab. Maguire playing is good for us, no Ronaldo is bad for us (ego got the better of him and he won't sit on the bench?)

[brite blu sky]

When Kev is the possible weak link in a team then it has be good.

Excellent line up - especially Walker back for me.

3-0 Foden

[Kippax Sean]

Great line up. Rags look very defensive, thought they'd start gashford and be looking for the long out ball from the off.

COME ON CITY

[stevefromdonny]

no fucking about, no going slow forward, no fucking pass pass pass pass sidewards backwards, get the ball and move it quick and forward get into space and LETS FUCKING SMASH THE FUCKERS

You know that’s exactly how we will set up mate. The rags will sit back and try and hit us on the counter. They haven’t the players to play us at our own game. It will be no different to Burnley coming here

Unusually nervous about this derby. Have a really bad feeling about it.
