***City v Bournemouth Official Match Thread***

[nottsblue]

Saturday was a horrible day for a few reasons. Please, City, make it better tonight. I don't care how or why.

Team selection again is going to be a lottery I reckon. Was confident on Saturday we'd win our last three games. That's gone. Think it could be a draw tonight

2-2 KDB and Ederson. Why fucking not

[Mase]

It's a cup final

Think that might end up being Fulham on Sunday

Pep has backed himself into a corner after his selections on Saturday. Kova has to start if fit. If not, can genuinely see him selecting the same team even keeper. KDB guaranteed to start as captain. Tits up couple of days ahead I fear. Lose tonight, red shite win on weds and we don't get chumps league. Pep is gone which a lot of us are saying we're happy with, who is next - Ancelotti as a Pelliigrini type caretaker or even Pellers himself ? Senior club management have been on it since they arrived, they're going to be busy this week IF they haven't already made their decisions.

Hope the fuck we are not forcing Rodri for this and Fulham.

the good thing is that rodri is a clever guy. there’s no way he’d risk playing if he wasn’t ready

[Mase]

So many de Bruyne shirts in Manchester.

Criminal he’s going to start on such an important game after the cup final performance

[stevefromdonny]

i thought that the team we had out in the FA cup we should of won, of course not sending goalie off missing pen and to slow in build up, to many side and backwards passes, but we can turn it around this game, not many backward pass and get to goal line and put ball into area a lot faster. and bloody shoot from outside some times

COME ON CITY

[stevefromdonny]

I hope if kev plays he scores or does a couple of great ball into area

[PeterParker]

Are we one up yet?

[Mase]

Josko back at LB to fuck us. Cheers Pep

Nunes returns to save the day

[Sparklehorse]

What is his fascination with Akanji ?
I just do not understand. A nice reward for Eschers for his brief but promising 15 mins on Saturday…..out of the squad !!! The man has fucking lost it good and proper. My confidence levels have plummeted looking at that team. Gundog and Bernie is not usuallly productive. Hey ho….Come on City.

Saw that also.
I think players realized that in order to play under him they need to be shit. If you are in form or play well, you are either benched or out the next game.

[Mase]

Reward for the Argie lad is to be fucked off. He played him hoping he'd fail. Utter cunt of a man. Fuck off

[Sparklehorse]

The only thing that will cheer me up tonight is a Euromillions win so I can buy the cunt out.

[Nigels Tackle]

resign now pep

[city72]

I don’t even think I can be arsed to watch it which is sad, thirty years ago I used to watch ceefax for 2 hours solid and that was more exciting than watching this drivel
