The Rags are not confident, which is understandable given that they are crap, but we are not at our best. I cannot go this afternoon and it’s the first home derby I have missed in years, and that makes me think that City will be spectacular. Just batter them Pep, is that too much to ask for at Christmas?
COME ON CITY!!!

And the rest…
The mistakes are still in us. They’re in awful form but will probably still beat us.
This is Pep's comeback game.
God knows with this one. They are playing us at a good time and we are playing them at a good time.
We'll need to be much better than we were tonight if we are to get anything from this, no doubt Anthony Taylor will be the main talking point afterwards no matter what happens.
Haaland x3 no doubt.
Easy win, Pep sacked in the morning.
Normally I’m never confident going into Derby’s but I think we have a great chance of winning here. Never been more confident in a derby game than now. There at rock bottom. Yes we’re hit and miss aswell but we won’t have to be at our best to beat them like we normally have to be.
Getting ready for a plummeting. We’ll struggle to handle even an off form City.
Two rubbish teams. No idea how its going to go.
A draw will be impressive.
Shitty versus Crappy
You just know Halaand, Foden etc are suddenly going to rediscover their form.
Unfortunately I thought they looked quite good vs Juve, especially in the 2nd half.
They don't have much composure Infront of goal though so hopefully that carries into their game against us.
4-1 loss. Haaland hattrick.
Last time we beat them at Etihad in front of a crowd was December 2019 with that Rashford penalty and goal from Martial. Otamendi scored 5 mins from the end to make it 2-1
No matter what the score is, i'm looking forward to this just to see if we are changing our approach to big games. Doesn't get any bigger than City away.
