Lack of pace at the back for us, that team selection favors them more than us....have a bad feeling about this one

[Beefymcfc]

Come on the Blues!!!

[Saul Goodman]

That team sheet does not impress me. Prove me wrong boys.
CTID!

It's the strongest starting eleven we have available right now. KDB is coming back from another injury and there's clearly something wrong with Walker. Delph suspended and Zinch has to be injured as he's not even in the squad.

lack of pace? try NO pace!

[Outcast]

stones / Laporte was a fuckign excellent duo...wtf would baldie fuck that up ?

If we lose, I'll slaughter Pep over his selection. Win this, I'll turn a blind eye. To be fair it could have been worst. I'm not comfortable Komps playing, but, this might be a cagey affair were fluency goes out the window and leadership over skill is required. However, my head tells me to play a back 4 not used to each other in the biggest game of the season is suicidal.

Come on City!!!!!!

Dropped IMHO

Just not good enough mate

[Dimples]

I am happy with that team.

KDB rusty and not match fit so Bernardo plays - that makes sense
Defence is our problem area so something had to give. The changes make sense.
Vinny there to lead, calm things down and score at corners, the other three & Fern will cover his weaknesses, way to risky to play Walker or Zinco.

Feeling good about this match, we should easily pass our way through their midfield of Henderson, Milner, Wijnaldum.

I think we will win this.

Proper wankers aren’t they

[Beefymcfc]

I know some are complaining but I think that is actually a very strong defensive system, considering. It looks like we will try to snuff out their attacks and rely on the front 5 to do their thing. If we're worried about our defensive system, surely they will too.

Still, not confident of the win with so many of our key players just coming back. But, we are Manchester City, we fight to the end.

[Kippax Sean]

No fucking about City! Come on lads, right at it from the off!

[Dimples]

Money talks.

Bookies are unemotional and show where the money is going. We are 10/11 favs, Liverpool are 11/4, the draw is 13/5

Enjoy.

The Magician gets equalled 'Most Prem Games Played' with Joe Hart on 266 tonight. Let's hope he finds each and every pass with pin point accuracy!.

[london blue 2]

Proper bag of nerves. Don’t fancy this but I never do against these fuckers
