Mahrez????

Happy with rest of team. This twat best turn up!

[Sideshow Bob]

more annoyed to see dave silva tbh.

[Beefymcfc]

Come on City!!!

[Beefymcfc]

That is one attacking team!

PS. First Stella cracked.

[Harry Dowd scored]

Sterling on left, his best position is on right, this to accommodate fucking Mahrez, just hope it works out. Still should see off Brighton.

[harveytravis]

No Phil?

[Saul Goodman]

Sane must be raging on the inside.

Sane must be raging on the inside.

Can see him seeking pastures new.

Dont anyone expect Mahrez to go for a 50/50 ball or win a header.....hes the biggest coward in our squad when it comes to fighting for the ball.

I'm fuckign amazed PeP has put in a player who has hardly fuckign played for is in a title deciding match - he better produce.

Just cracked open my first kronenbourg c’mon City just get it done

[PrezIke]

Popular team selection from Pep lol

[blues2win]

Sane played poorly last time he started. He needs to be more consistent. If Pep thought Kevin was fit for 90 he’d have started with Bernie on the Right. Kevin and Sane available after 60 if needed. Obviously we’d be stronger if Fernandinho and Kevin were starting but we are where we are. Mahrez owes us a goal.

Come on City!

[BlueinBosnia]

Mahrez????

Using this game to see whether he's good enough for the Premier League Asia Trophy in July, I reckon...

[Sideshow Bob]

I predict us to camp out in the Brighton half but move the ball slowly side to side creating fuckall as the minutes tick by.

[london blue 2]

Come on guys let’s support our fucking team.

[Dub City]

Bloody shitting this. If it wasn’t last match of the season a trip to Brighton would seem like a decent fixture and full of confidence. Come on blues. Hopefully Mahrez has borrowed a pair of bollox for the game and doesn’t pussy out of everything like the rest of season.

Love seeing Yaya on side of the pitch clapping the lads as they come out for the warm up

[hayling22]

.....And I predict plenty of shots high and wide.......as long as we get one!

Mahrez? I guess Pep thought Brighton may have forgotten about him, like we did

[mr_nool]

This was exactly the line up I had expected. Makes sense to play Bernardo central (too big of a game for Foden?), but to keep sort of the same formation with Sterling on the left and a possession player like Mahrez on the right.

The arrogance from Pep to make his point with Mahrez is disgusting

Agree with Bern in the centre 100% but we need to just leather than full pelt, and with Maza he'll slow the play right down
