Huge game today. A golden chance to put a marker down, if actually we need to, to dhow our credentials and let Arsenal know we are still superior

No Odegaard for them and presumably no KDB for us. Though on his first half show v Inter that might not necessarily be a bad thing. Surely Foden will start?

Think it will be a tight game with the odd goal separating the sides

1-0 Jackie

Looking forward to this be out early doors. Fucking hate these cunts of fans - more deluded than the scouse which is saying something. Big statement today 5 points would take some getting back from us

Pep said Kevin might play. Personally I doubt it. Foden likely to replace him. Will Pep play Walker to counter Martinelli’s pace?

It's fucking nailed on that Sterling will nick one at the end isn't it almost written. Couldn't get a fucking goal against dippers and can't hit a ban door with a Banko but we all know what happens.

With kdb out it's a straight race between Doku and Savinho as to who gives the ball away most

Obviously decided that the middle will be very congested and he has to try to use the wings.
