COME ON CITY

[ruralblue]

Of hed have changed 4 or even 5 players then fair enough buts thats too many considering some havent really played much for ages. Hope it doesn't come back to bite us on the arse.

Absolutely dog shit team but it is what it is. Can't really complain. Personally wouldn't have made that many changes and started strong and then changed it, but I get it.

Come on City

Another thing is, they did play like a bunch of cunts on Wednesday, so maybe some freshness and energy.........

[Harry Dowd scored]

Pep’s fucking obsessed with “minutes” there is no excuse for playing players who are not match fit , walking wounded & not good enough, if we were playing midweek in the CL oh forgot or in PL it might go some way to excuse this miss match of a team. Genius my arse. The thing that could save us is Saints have a game midweek & may rest players.

[Nickyboy]

Nothing wrong with that team. Stacked full of internationals and a few with a point to prove.

Nico G, Foden and Cherki always link up well together.

Easily good enough to beat a championship team. We'll be reet

I really hope you are correct with your forecast, I being the eternal pessimistic person do not share this view. Really hope I am wrong & you are righ

[dave watson's perm]

That's some fucked up looking pitchside team of BBC wankers

100%

[Indianablue]

Well, i was looking forward to it but that starting 11 is a piss take.
Pep citing fatigue is an absolute disrespect to the thousands that have travelled and spent hard earned money. Disjointed, rusty and untried, we will be up against today. Obviously Pep going all out for the league title. This is a case of 'if we win great, if not so be it

If the players coming in have the right attitude they'll be giving 100% and trying to make a point that they're good enough...... They'll be fresh and buzzing to be playing. Khus on his own is better than stones and Ake combined that's a concern. But the rest are more than capable.

[nottsblue]

Does Pep think we play in the CL midweek?

We don’t play again for a fucking week

[dave watson's perm]

I preferred the camera angle of the old Wembley which made the pitch look massive

[Indianablue]

Linesman flags late , why?
Twice now. So.eone gets injured in the interim, what happens?
Correction 3 times.

[mr_nool]

Not started too bad. Phil looks lively, but he and Cherki keep occupying the dame space.

[dave watson's perm]

That's a warning

[Mase]

Absolutely no point in Marmoush. From Alvaraz to this cunt

[Indianablue]

A few mistakes creeping in, Ake, Stone, Alt Nouri, Foden , sloppy at times. No threats on goal yet apart from the offside plays. Marmoush and Cherki too clever at times

[Harry Dowd scored]

Just noticed the Saints keeper, on a deck chair reading a book. Wake me up at HT he said to his CB
