Bernardo again??

Brilliant team that to be fair. I mean….Pep what the fuck (usually works).

Bernardo left back again

Last time I was in Nottingham, FA cup, Notts County. David Brightwell saved the day. Only time he did anything of any use

Winner against Newcastle mid-90's as well.

Should be good enough. Let's see.

Fancy a 1-0 or a 2-0. It will be a tight game I think. Forest don't concede many at home just recently

I don’t really get this no left back tactic of Pep’s when we have plenty of defenders in the squad, particularly Ake who is having a good season who can play there.

It’s like Pep needs to give himself an extra challenge.

Overall it’s a strong team and the players should be full of confidence. But we will probably look vulnerable again every time Forest attack.

I’ve been a big critic of Foden this season but I thought he did well when he came on at the emirates. Let’s hope he can keep it going.

Would have preferred Ake at LB but I suppose that is far to conventional.

Any joans? Thanks

Up the blues.

I was there, too. He scored and just walked into the crowd. It was a golden moment.

He also bagged one against Newcastle in the Premier League once as well if memory serves.

COME ON CITY!!!

Wouldn’t be shocked if Foden was LB and Bernardo on the right hand side

If Ederson was LB with Bernardo in net, I don’t think any of us would be shocked.

Come on, City.

Looks like a back three with Bernardo and Rodri playing pivots and Kevin and Gundogan further up. Foden Right Grealish Left up front. Let’s see.
