A third home game in a week

11 goals on the first two and quite honestly could have been at least 15. We are on fire at the moment and I expect our form to continue today. Although we have a CL game midweek, we are all but through so shouldn’t need to tinker too much

Expect Rodri to feature today. Put our best side out and if we are 2/3 goals up after an hour or so then rest them

4-0 Haaland

CTWD

Hopefully the maths genius plays -

We moved to The Etihad in 2003. Just saying.

I will let than one slide Haaland does score 332 goals for us over the next 5 years

Think I will miss today’s game, going to watch Phil Coulter sing in the town square, hoping for another convincing performance but any win will do for me.

Irelands answer to Richard Clayderman? You'll be asleep by half time.

anything less than double figures and i'll be disappointed

A couple of other teams that parked a couple of buses on 35 yards last year have been blown away having Haaland in amongst them.

I'd expect the same today

Today's City Team News

XI | Ederson, Cancelo, Akanji, Dias, Ake, Rodrigo, De Bruyne (C), Bernardo, Mahrez, Foden, Haaland

Subs | Ortega Moreno, Gundogan, Laporte, Grealish, Alvarez, Gomez, Palmer, Lewis, Wilson-Esbrand

Team as expected

Come on City.
A couple of early goals and we can dictate to our pleasure.

But simply win will do me

Surprised he dropped Grealish because he was playing his way into form, but I suppose he'll give him the full 90 v Copenhagen

revised my expectations down to 9 having seen the team. disappointed to see rodri starting. should have gone all out attack.

Are we one up yet?

you should reflect on your disappointment - it betrays a lack of insight into the way our team plays.

We're going to need his skills to keep up with Haaland's total for the season too.

Yep. Two man of the match performances and he’s starting to hit form so makes perfect sense to drop him for Mahrez (whose been terrible so far this season).

Guarantee it’ll knock Grealish’s confidence. With someone like Haaland I’d imagine it would spur them on, but Grealish comes across as an arm round the shoulder player that needs that confidence.
