I live in Swansea and would dearly like to watch this game with some fellow City fans. Does anyone know of anywhere local where I could do this ?

Foden should start over grealish , based on the last few games IMO .

Bernardo should 100% play and I have no idea how your going to fit mahrez in .

Aye it’s a grand place alright, I’ll try Walkabout in town, I normally watch matches at home on my own, usually too nervous to have company. This one is special though and I fancy sharing the moment.

It will be on par with Sterling starting against Chelsea in the final.

Who knows? When Mahrez is brilliant it's all the Algerian prince stuff. Pretty fair bet that Inter will sit back so, if it is true, maybe he might think it's a better option.

Just as Grealish is the best option on the left - assuming he's not still on the piss

Best option is the team that’s played against Bayern and Madrid second leg. We play our game not Inter’s. When we start changing our team to suit the opposition this is usually where we fuck up.

The big question probably is...... Will Pep play Foden at Left Back, push Gomez onto the left wing and experiment with Phillips over Rodri?
I haven't a fecking clue what I'm doing! Gillie come back man I want my sig back. As the Photobucket thingy gone?

Can see why he might think of mahrez. Inter are going to sit deep and he might feel mahrez is better at unlocking their defence.
Same case for Foden.

Everyone expects the same team that beat Madrid. Wouldn't be surprised if he changed it, as long as he doesn't over do it.

If we need Mahrez to unlock a defensive because Haaland, Grealish, Bernardo, Gundo, Kev can’t do it we’re in fuckin trouble!!

Er. Can we expect some more Bollox on Saturday and Sunday when the Media goes into a tailspin because of City ?

I've just listened to the Totally Football Show podcast.

It sounds like Inter are our kryptonite re playing style.

Bricking it now.
