Couple of tough away fixtures with Villa away following at the weekend.

On a decent run at the moment and we go into the match tonight clear favourites at the bookies. Those who are travelling, have a wonderful trip and as always, stay safe and do us proud.

2-0 Haaland Reijnders

Would like to see us win, goals to someone other than Haaland and some minutes for the players returning.

Not too greedy obviously.

I would now like a 1-0 win with Haaland as the ONLY scorer until certain people stop moaning about how our inform Viking is scoring all the goals.

Not mentioning names.

Reijnders has been our poorest player since the opening game. I'd leave him out the team tonight

I've been expecting more from him since his debut. Not kicked on yet but there's a player in there.

Pep all about Nico in the presser. Kova to start tonight then

I’m going to keep mentioning it now I know it’s a touchy subject. Just for old times sake.

2-0 Haaland Reijnders

Sadly social media people posting RIP to a lad called Guy Bradshaw, has passed away whilst out in Spain following City.

XI | Donnarumma, Nunes, Stones, Dias, Gvardiol, Nico, Lewis, Bernardo (C), Savinho, Doku, Haaland

SUBS | Trafford, Bettinelli, Reijnders, Ake, Marmoush, Kovacic, Cherki, Ait-Nouri, O'Reilly, Foden, Bobb

Strange team for me. Does Nunes play at right back, is it Stones? Who's left back? Gvardiol or Lewis? Is Lewis in midfield? Why is Savinho on the pitch at all?

Very odd

The most bizarre of those questions is Savio. Cannot believe he's being allowed a free ride.

The difference on Saturday the way Pep reacted when Nico OR or Nico G made a mistake compared with Savio was night and day. Not to mentioned Savio was at it again with the play acting and throwing his arms around like a child. The guys an absolute twat.

No doubt he'll score or assist tonight and suddenly the 4 shite performances will be forgotten about

Yes looks a very unbalanced team. Very surprised he hasn't gone stronger.

It was ridiculous on Saturday. Savinho was shit on the right, Doku was OK on the left so he took off Doku and then moved Savinho to the left where he continued to be shite. He then subbed Savinho who stood an the touchline not believing he was being taken off. I'm all for giving players time and letting them play into form but Savinho has shown nothing to make me think there is a player there that is good enough for us in the future.

What the fuck is that team ?
Truly baffling, and absolutely guaranteed to cause unrest in the camp. Foden on the bench, that’s his reward for opening up the Everton defence with a De Bruyne-esque pass.
Nevertheless COME ON CITY !!!

If you’d have hoyed all the midfielders in a hat you couldn’t have pulled out a worse 5 combination

Fucking baffling isn't it. I foolishly thought O'Reilly would make the team, I like the kid good strong lad, never mind we'll see
