***Treble Winners v Brighton Official Match Thread***

[nottsblue]

6 important games left. This is the first of four away games. Brighton blow hot and cold currently so let's hope they have taken their foot of the gas

No Haaland apparently. Let's hope we have packed our shooting boots. Had a nice break since the semi so we should be firing on all cylinders from the get go

Any old win will do but preferably one which doesn't incur stress!!!

2-0 Foden Rodri

It’s time we smashed someone

[Nigels Tackle]

It’s time we smashed someone

i wholeheartedly agree!
unlikely to see a low block from de zerbi tonight so there should be some space... with forest and wolves to come after this one, it would be nice if we could eat away at arsenal's 12 gd advantage...

[blues2win]

Foden and Stones spotted in the squad for tonight. Looks like Haaland is the only absentee.

[Harry Dowd scored]

Come on City. Meanwhile look what Twat Arnold said -:

Trent:

“Man City might have beaten Everton 3-1 at Goodison Park, but our 2-0 defeat in the Merseyside derby means more!”

Happy days

[gmercer1]

Foden on the wing

[Harry Dowd scored]

Not happy with the defence, Stones on bench again. Is Ake LB or Josko?

Ake is centre forward mate ! Goal getter.

[salford city]

Not happy with the defence, Stones on bench again. Is Ake LB or Josko?

Imagine it will be Josko at LB - why would Pep want to play him in his preferred position at CB?
Foden needs to stay in the middle -alas we all know the drill

Kova will help with that

[blues2win]

Wouldn’t be surprised if Walker and Gvardiol push up allowing Bernardo and Foden to play inside.

[Mase]

Kovacic Not good enough for Chelsea but can start for us. Madness. Put Foden in the middle and Grealish, Doku or Bobb on the wing ffs

[blues2win]

COME ON CITY!!!!!!!!!!
